Quick ride by bicycle from Sosnovka to Grazhdanka

This route takes you from Sosnovka, a leafy residential area in northern St. Petersburg known for its massive Sosnovka Park, to the lively district of Grazhdanka. You’ll cover just over 8 km, most of it on smooth asphalt, making for an easy, relaxed ride—perfect if you’re not looking to tackle lots of hills (just a gentle ascent and a slightly bigger descent along the way).

You’ll leave the peaceful, pine-filled Sosnovka behind via a mix of access roads and some quieter streets, so it’s a good ride for those who like a bit of tranquility. There’s a short stretch on busier roads, but nothing too intimidating for everyday cyclists. Grazhdanka, your finish point, is a bustling neighborhood packed with shops, cafés, and Soviet-era high-rises—it’s a popular place for locals and perfect for grabbing a snack or coffee after the ride.

In summary: a mostly flat, easygoing cycle, blending green park vibes with the energy of city living at the finish. Great for anyone wanting to explore a slice of St. Petersburg by bike!
