Nearest metro: Ploshchad Vosstaniya
The Crowne Plaza St. Petersburg Ligovsky Hotel is located around 200 m from Moscow Railway Station (Moskovskiy Vokzal) on Ligovskiy Prospekt, one of St. Petersburg's main central thoroughfares.It is a only a couple of minutes' walk to Ploshchad Vosstaniya Metro Station on the red line. Using the closest metro entrance from the hotel (across Ligovskiy Prospekt), visitors also have direct access to Mayakovskaya on the green line. The fact that the Crowne Plaza is within comfortable walking distance of Moscow Station is one of the main selling points of the hotel, while St. Petersburg's other mainline stations are easily accessed by taxi or metro - Vitebsk Station (ten minutes' drive), Finland Station (15 minutes), and Ladoga Station (20 minutes).
Pulkovo International Airport is less than 15 km from the Crowne Plaza Ligovsky Prospekt, and the hotel can be reached by car in 30-40 minutes.
Local Sightseeing
St. Petersburg's top visitor attractions, including the Hermitage Museum and St. Isaac's Cathedral, are best reached by metro or bus from the corner of Nevsky Prospekt (journey time around 20 minutes door-to-door). Ligovskiy Prospekt and the area immediately around the hotel were historically industrial and impoverished, so there are few major historic sights nearby.Apart from Moscow Station itself, which is a fine neoclassical building by the Muscovite architec Konstantin Ton, the most interesting attractions within comfortable walking distance of the Crowne Plaza Ligovsky is probably the Pushkinskaya 10 cultural centre, a commune of underground artists in the late Soviet period which now hosts a variety of exhibition spaces, artists workshops, bars and live music venues, as well as the Museum of Non-conformist Art. Guests will also not be able to ignore the Victory Obelisk in front of Moscow Station on Ploshchad Vosstaniya, which was the last memorial to the Second World War to be erected in St. Petersburg.
