Alternatively, guests can take the metro two stops from Ploshchad Vosstaniya to Pushkinskaya, right next to the station. Ladozhsky Station is across the Neva River in the east of the city, and can be reached by car in around 20-30 minutes.

Local Sightseeing
The Nevsky Forum Hotel is situated on the eastern section of Nevsky Prospekt, while most of St. Petersburg's most popular visitor attractions are on or around the western stretch across the Fontanka River. They can, however, be easily accessed from the hotel by bus or metro.In the immediate vicinity of the hotel - apart from the shopping, restaurants, and bars on Nevsky Prospekt - there are a few historic sights of interest. The most impressive of them is the Church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God on Vladimirsky Prospekt, about ten minutes' walk from the Nevsky Forum. This magnificent church with its striking belltower was completed in 1783 and was worked on by numerous architects. Spanning baroque and neoclassical traditions, it has a surprisingly harmonious form, and is famous for its superb iconostasis.
Closer to the hotel on Ulitsa Marata, the Museum of the Arctic and Antarctic is housed in what also used to be a church, and contains a huge collections of exhibits and artifacts chronicling Russian and Soviet exploration of the two polar regions.
