If you are arriving on a train from St. Petersburg, then almost all of the numerous daily services will take you to Moskovskiy Vokzal, which is right in the center of the city on Ploshad Vosstaniya, in the middle of the city's main thoroughfare, Nevsky Prospekt. There are two metro stations - Ploshad Vosstaniya on the red line and Mayakovskaya on the green line - to choose from.
Baltiskiy Vokzal, a little to the south-west of the center and next to Baltiskaya metro station, takes trains from the Baltic States, although they may also arrive at Vitebskiy Vokzal, near the central Pushkinskaya metro, which also serves Byelorussia, Germany and Poland.
Finally, the newly-opened Ladozhskiy Vokzal, on the east bank of the Neva and the orange metro line, is where trains now terminate from Finland and Northern Russia.
From all the stations, you shouldn't need to pay more than $10 to get anywhere in the center, but taxi drivers who wait at the stations are inclined to ask for more, especially from foreigners, so you're better off booking a car before you arrive.
