Giro veloce in bici da Krasnogvargeisky a Finlyandskiy

This ride takes you from Krasnogvardeysky District, a lively, residential area in northeastern St. Petersburg, over to Finlyandskiy, a historic central district known for the striking Finlyandsky Railway Station. You’ll cruise around 13.5 km, mostly on quiet, paved roads with hardly any hilly bits—so it’s a really chill route.

Starting off, the neighborhood vibe is classic St. Pete: leafy streets, local shops, and plenty of old-school Soviet architecture. The ride winds mostly through low-traffic roads (so no need to worry much about cars), with only a few short patches of gravel to keep things interesting. There aren’t any major climbs, just a gentle up and down—so you can relax and enjoy the scenery.

You’ll skirt some pretty parks and local landmarks before rolling into the Finlyandskiy area. The Finlyandsky Station itself is pretty famous; it’s where Lenin returned from exile in 1917, changing Russian history forever!

Perfect for a casual afternoon outing, and you’ll get a mini-tour of some lesser-known districts along the way.
