Sortie rapide à vélo de Krasnogvargeisky à Centralniy

This mellow ride takes you from Krasnogvargeisky, a relaxed residential district in Saint Petersburg, over to the vibrant heart of the city’s Centralniy district. The route is just over 17 km and mostly sticks to paved, quiet roads and access roads—so you can pedal at your own pace without too much traffic stress. Along the way, expect a gentle mix of small ups and downs; nothing too challenging, as you only gain about 60 meters of elevation.

Krasnogvargeisky is known for its Soviet-era architecture and peaceful green spaces, while Centralniy is where all the action is: historic landmarks like Nevsky Prospekt, world-class cafes, museums, and the iconic Palace Square. The surfaces are almost entirely asphalt, so your ride should be smooth, with just a few patches of gravel here and there.

Whether you’re sightseeing or just commuting, this route gives you a great taste of Saint Petersburg—from calm neighborhoods to buzzing city life. Just bring your camera (and maybe a good lock for your bike when you get to Centralniy)!
