3. TRANSPORTATION
Please, give the details of your arrival (company, flight, scheduled
time, etc.) to Mrs. Novikova, so that we could arrange a car from the
Euler Institute to pick you up at the "Pulkovo" international airport.
(Look for the poster "Euler International Mathematical Institute").
Alternatively, you may take the bus no. 13 at "Pulkovo" international
terminal, or a sity bus at the domestic terminal, which will bring you
to the metro station "Moskovskaya". It takes about 30 minutes to reach
the stations "Petrogradskaya" or "Chernaya Rechka" (by a direct
train). From "Petrogradskaya" you may take bus no. 10 or no. 46 that goes to
the LDM hotel. From both stations you may take trolley-bus no.34
to Pesochnaya Naberezhnaya (two stops), or minibuses no.46, 175, 298,
and 321.
NIS-participants who come by train may easily use metro - every railway
station has a nearby metro station.
