Nearest metro: Chernishevskaya
The Manifesto Hotel is located in the eastern section of St. Petersburg's city center, on a quiet side-street around ten minutes' walk from Nevsky Prospekt.
The nearest metro station, Chernyshevskaya, is roughly five minutes' walk away. From there it is one stop to Ploshchad Vosstaniya, for Moskovsky Railway Station. It is also possible to reach the railway station on foot in around ten minutes, or by car in five. Vitebsky Station is around 2.5km from the hotel, and can be reached by taxi in 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, it is three stops on the metro from Chernyshevskaya. Ladozhsky Station is on the eastern outskirts of St. Petersburg, and the drive to/from the Manifesto Hotel will take around 30 minutes.
Pulkovo Airport is to the south of the city, with the international terminal - Pulkovo-2 - around 17km from the Manifesto Hotel. By car, the drive takes upwards of 40 minutes depending on traffic conditions. The domestic terminal is a further 2km or 5-10 minutes' drive out of the city. |
 | Local sightseeing |
While the majority of St. Petersburg's major visitor attractions - such as the Hermitage, the State Russian Museum, St. Isaac's Cathedral, and the Church of Our Saviour on the Spilled Blood - are located across the Fontanka River from the Manifesto Hotel in the so-called “Golden Triangle”. Energetic guests may want to sightsee on foot, as the walk to the Russian Museum or the Church on the Spilled Blood is one of the prettiest in St. Petersburg, passing the Summer Garden, the Field of Mars, and several historic churches.
One of those, the Preobrazhenskiy (“Transfiguration”) Cathedral, is less than five minutes' walk from the Manifesto Hotel on Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad. Built on the order of Empress Elizabeth to honour the Transfiguration Guard, who had played a key role in the palace coup that brought her to the throne, the original baroque church burned almost to the ground in 1825, and was replaced by the current neoclassical building by Vasily Stasov, consecrated in 1829. One of the few churches in St. Petersburg to remain open throughout the Soviet period, it has a large and loyal congregation, and also became home to several treasures from less fortunate churches.
A few minutes' walk beyond Chernyshevskaya Metro Station along Kirochnaya Ulitsa brings visitors to the Tauride Garden, one of St. Petersburg's oldest and most attractive public parks. Laid out 1783-89 as the grounds of the Tauride Palace, home of Grand Duke Grigory Potemkin, the influential favourite of Catherine the Great, the garden was opened to the public in 1866. Although the palace, home to the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of the CIS, is closed to the public, the garden is still an elegant example of English-style landscaping and an ideal place for picnicking in the summer.
Opposite the park across Kirochnaya Ulitsa, the Alexander Suvorov Memorial Museum is a magnificently ornate building in the Russian Revival style that houses a collection honouring one of Russia's greatest generals, famous for his undefeated record in the Russo-Turkish War (1787-92), his suppression of the Polish Uprising of 1794, and his extraordinary tactical retreat across the Alps in the winter of 1799. The latter is depicted in two massive mosaics on the building's facade. |
