Gazprom Arena, also known as 'Arena Saint Petersburg', 'Krestovsky Stadium' or 'Zenit Arena', is a unique sports facility and an tourist attraction in itself! Today, our city is not only historical palaces, bridges and embankments! It is not at all necessary to be a fan of football or music groups, but if you come to St. Petersburg, you must definitely visit here!
Designed by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, the stadium has become one of the most modern sports arenas of the world. It hosted matches of 2018 FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO 2020 European Championship. Currently, home matches of the Zenit St Petersburg football club are held here, as well as various concerts and shows.
A huge, but at the same time, light stadium, the highest skyscraper in Europe 'Lakhta Center' (Gazprom Tower), the suspension bridge of the high-speed highway against the backdrop of the waters of the Gulf of Finland, together form an fantastic hi-tech architectural ensemble. Take a look at the northern capital of Russia from a new perspective and give yourself an unforgettable experience and many great photos to remember!

And now about the most important! The best pictures in your albums and enjoyment of memories are our main mission! Don`t spend time searching for a place to take iconic photos. We show you only top spots and specify absolutely exact coordinates!

Let`s fly to St Petersburg!
Attention! Select the payment currency/country other than the Russian Ruble/Russia - most likely you will not be able to pay for the ticket, especially for Russia domestic routes, with a non-Russian credit card! In 99% of cases, you will be redirected to the websites of travel agents making cross-border payments with Russia in the national currencies of their countries. Use only this form for each new search! Due to sanctions, almost all other search engines/airline companies do not show flights to or inside Russia.
TIPS FOR VISITORS & SELFIE MAKERS

✅ Be an early bird! If you came to a football match or concert, then your subway train, bus, tram or even taxi must arrive to destination stop no later than 1 hour 30 minutes before the start of the show!

On the days of the top events, the access of any vehicle to the stadium and the surrounding area may be limited or even completely prohibited. Therefore, regardless what type of transport used, next you will have to walk about half an hour.

The security procedure at the gate can also take quite a long time, especially with a large number of visitors. But even when you have passed all the checks, the distance to your seat or place is still quite large - because the stadium is so big!

So, the main rule is 'Come early, and even more earlier is better'. For example, if you want to see a warming-up show or a flag presentation ceremony. But that's not the only reason!

More info about Gazprom Arena

✅ Clothing and shoes. Locals call St. Petersburg the city of rains. This does not mean that this happens 365 days a year, but the probability is quite high. Since the stadium is located on the shore of the bay, strong winds are also not uncommon. Just in case check the weather forecast to understand if you need an umbrella and warm clothes outside the stadium.

✅ Choice of entry gate. FAN ID. Friends! The stadium is really very big, so even after the security line, it will take at least 10-15 minutes to get to your seat. To save time, check your ticket and choose the gate that matches your block (sector).
IMPORTANT! Currently, in order to access football matches of the Russian Championship/Cup, each person, before buying of tickets, must have a E-FAN ID. Unfortunately, the procedure provides for personal presence at one of the accreditation points. Therefore, in fact, visiting these competitions by foreigners is impossible.
To attend other events, incl international matches, concerts, exhibitions, etc this type of e-ID is not required.

✅ Hand luggage. If possible, don`t take items that require inspection as this adds additional time for entry. Important! Any bags, backpacks, packages, etc. cannot exceed size 40 x 40 x 45 cm. If your bag(s) does exceed the stated size, left items in one of the storage rooms. See on the map

✅ Food & Water. A bottle of water and some food in a bag is a good idea for those walking around. However, when entering the stadium, remember that your container or bottle must be of a soft material (not iron or glass) and not exceed 0.5 L in volume. Access directly to the block (sector, dance space) is possible only with non-closable containers, such as paper or plastic cups.

Of course, at the Gazprom Arena and near the stadium you can buy a variety of fast food, snacks, ice cream and drinks. We also recommend stopping by one of the restaurants or bars nearby. On the days of matches or concerts, it is better to book a table in advance. It`s simple. Open the list, choose what suits you best, find website link in the description and make a reservation.
If the website does not have an English page, use an online translator. Just copy and paste the link.

✅ Enjoy life! About 2-3 hrs before the start of the event, different game, creative and other active zones become open for the visitors, where you can put on face paint in colours of the teams, do a hair in style of your idol, play various games, take a photo to remember, buy the fans wear and other souvenirs. Take a walk through the stadium incl visit the upper tiers with a beautiful views. You can also take part in the fan parade (starting from 'Krestovsky Ostrov' subway, usually two hours before the match)

Even when there are no events in the stadium, you can have a great time here, for example, get an exclusive tour inside the stadium (conducted when there are no events only). Very close to Gazprom Arena are one of the largest in Russia water park and extreme amusement park

Do you want to fly in a wind tunnel? And, maybe, on a helicopter and see all the best sights of St. Petersburg from a bird's eye view? It's a two steps from the arena. And right here and now in front of you!
✅ I was here! The two most important things you bring home from a trip are memories and photos. How and where to get a little more much more than other travelers, read below. But even if your phone supplies Insta, WeChat or FB only 'I was here' pictures, it's more correct to take them in the best place for this.

Gazprom Arena is great from everywhere. But before you press the button, you'll notice that somehow the composition of the frame is not quite perfect. Either the stadium is too big, or too small, or there are extraneous structures in the frame. But there is an ideal place and it is here! The long and wide promenade in front of the stadium gives you an excellent backdrop and high-quality photos, both portrait and full-length. Look above (& click to zoom) at the real photos you will receive in this point.

✅ Want to go! Best time? There is probably no need to specially come directly to the stadium, if nothing is happening here. The Russians say that all good things are best seen from a distance. Where exactly - see below. But when?

Well, at any time! Of course, If you came to the stadium because you bought a ticket, you don't choose the date, the time, the weather, or the lighting conditions. But our special recommendation is the time between evening and night, when the stadium lights are already on and the sky is not yet completely dark.

Everyone and always especially advise to visit St. Petersburg during the so-called White Nights period - approx from end of May to the end of July. The best time for romantic walks in summer is early morning, about 4 - 4:30 AM. In the pre-dawn mist, the city looks particularly magical!

In addition, there is another elegant way to see one of the best views in St. Petersburg - book a room with a panorama of the bay and the coastline ↓

St. Petersburg today is not only a historical center. Your impressions of visiting our city without the fantastic high-tech style panorama of coastline, of which the Gazprom Arena and the Gazprom Tower are a part, will be incomplete. Locals call this space 'Our Little Dubai'. And if you are a true traveler, you must see this!

Insert a high capacity memory card into your gadget or take a spare one with you. It's also a good idea to have a power bank in your bag. You will have so many reasons to press the button of your smartphone or camera, which is why very often the battery or free space on the flash drive ends faster than your walk.

But still, where get the main postcard view of the Gazprom Arena, exactly the same as in this picture?

They have one attribute in common. It's quite far from the stadium and difficult to get there. A little difficult. But that won't stop you, yeah?

Dear friends! Just in case, we repeat that this chapter is about photography. So not necessarily about the stadium itself. Do not worry! Where to buy tickets or how to get to the stadium, as well as how to find typical places where you can take pictures of it, we will tell below. And we have already told all the main advices for visiting the stadium above.

How to do the right thing if you're a professional photographer or skilled traveler with a DSLR camera, lens set, tripod and on the hunt for high-end stock images?

But, highly likely, you are an normal tourist. In this case it is better to buy a boat tour 'Bridges of St Petersburg' and (or) a hydrofoil ship ticket to the Peterhof Fountains. You were planning to go there? From boat deck you will get a lot of great shots. As the Russians say, you can hit two birds with one stone!

YES, I WANT !

We always recommend visiting not only the central streets and squares, and right now you are in such a must-see place! Besides the Gazprom Arena, perhaps the main attraction and symbol of modern St. Petersburg is also the tallest building in Europe (462 m) located here - the Gazprom Tower.

Together with the graceful cable-stayed bridge of the 'Western High Speed Diameter' (ZSD highway) and water area of the Gulf of Finland, a magnificent architectural ensemble and fantastic panoramic views are formed that will take your breath away!

Just make a foot tour around these spaces. Believe us, no museums and monasteries will give you as many impressions and positive emotions as a simple and completely free walk along the embankments of our city! Take a look at map and find out what super photos you can get in this location!

Even if you came just to a match or a concert, find some time to look at the stadium not just as a visitor, but also from other angles. Namely:

a) from the Makarov Embankment (almost all 'stock' pictures)
b) from 'Petrovkaya Kosa' Spit (the best panoramic view)
c) from the beach side (opposite side)
d) and of course from water (deck of the boat)

Dear travelers! Our main task is to show you all the great places and excellent angles, of which, in fact, there are hundreds and thousands! We have marked almost all of them on the map, so that you can choose what you like and create your own route.
By the way, we present an unusual travel concept 'don't go inside, stay outside'
This means that we talk more about walking the streets and almost nothing about visiting exhibitions, museums, and generally any buildings. Of course, there are exceptions and places to required visit, but we will definitely tell you where to look!

If time is very short, then a great way to see St. Petersburg, even in one day, is a walk in old town along the embankments between the Palace and Troitsky (Trinity) bridges, as well as along small channels, for example Moyka and Griboyedov. With the obligatory pit stops for lunch, a glass of wine or a cup of coffee in small restaurants!

Even if your stay in St. Petersburg is limited, we still advise you to become a local for some time. A true 'Piterets' (as the residents of St Petersburg call themselves) is never in a hurry. Do the same!

If there is something that needs to be done in St. Petersburg in any case, then of course it is to take a boat tour! For example, highly recommend watch remarkable night event raising of drawbridges. Saint Petersburg, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, is famous for its architecture, which were designed to create the most visual effect primarily from water.

Take a look at the magnificent waters of the Gulf of Finland, the Gazprom Tower and the Gazprom Arena stadium, as well as all the most important bridges from a new perspective. And this is a great topic even if you are a 'city break' type tourist or just don't have much time. You will see everything at once!

My dear friend! You are lucky! The pier from which you will go on an exciting excursion (except for speed boat and helicopter tour - it's close to the stadium) is located in heart of the city. Therefore, you can add this tour to a visit the mainly sights of St. Petersburg, such as the Hermitage, the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, St Isaac`s Cathedral, Bronze Horseman and many others. The departure point is located directly at the Palace Bridge, see how you can get there

There are so many jetties in St. Petersburg that wherever you go, you will surely meet it. But our route (the first two offers ↑) starts only from this pier (map) and the number of departures is limited. Also, don`t forget that demand for boat trips in high season is very high. Therefore, pre-booking is the best solution. Incl for a trip on a high-speed private boat and even a helicopter. It's so cool, and the price is not so high!

Hi! We are 99% sure that in your country you use a mobile app to call a taxi. In Russia, you can do this as easily and simply as at home. Therefore, we strongly recommend downloading and using the Russian equivalent of the Uber app - YandexGo

If you have used Uber before, then you can already order a taxicab in Moscow, St. Petersburg and many other cities without our tips.

All you need to know about Taxi in Russia
YandexGo (or YandexTaxi) is the largest and most well-known aggregator of licensed taxi carriers in Russia and in the countries of the former USSR. So, even if you place an order in the YandexGO application, it is likely that you will get a car with the logo of another carrier or even an unbranded car. This is a normal situation.

In 2018, Yandex and the Russian division of Uber created a joint company and combined the software on one platform. That is why ordering a taxi in Russia will seem so simple, familiar and understandable to you!

In our travel guide, for any transport terminal or landmarks of each city, in addition to instructions on how to get there by public transport, we will provide a link to the YandexGo
By clicking these buttons, your device will open the application immediately (if installed), indicating the desired point as the destination or departure of your choice.

Don`t forget to allow an app or website to track your location to quickly find pick-up point. Change the origin or destination if necessary. If you want to specify a location on the map, move the map, but not the location icon.

Well.. Let`s go!
Creating an order on regular days* by pressing the button above implies that a taxi will take you to the parking lot at the Sibur Arena, which is located directly at the main entrance to the Gazprom Arena (tribune / sector C), to this point
*NOTE. On days of matches & important events (check with the organizer), vehicle access to the area near stadium may be limited or completely prohibited. In this case, use only special locations as departure/arrival points!

For your convenience, we have also created links to ready-made routes from Gazprom Arena stadium to transport hubs (incl subway stations) that are used by the vast majority of tourists.

Back to the choice of mode of transport
Near popular tourist attractions, there are often several taxis waiting for customers. So if you see a taxicab right in front of you, especially if you don't have the app on your phone yet, you can take a taxi just here. BUT!!!

Also often, there are a lot of illegal cabmans among taxi drivers. Therefore, agree on the price (in rubles!!!) of the trip in advance! Any time do not agree for a price of more than 500 rubles for short routes (for example, to the metro). We strongly do not recommend ordering trips over long distances without a mobile application - you will definitely be deceived!

Local taxi drivers often do not accept bank cards for payment - please, prepare cash in advance.

Use our useful dictionary as well as the following phrases:

I need to get to.. (+address) -
MNE NUZHNA DA.. (+address)
or
let's go to.. (subway)! -
DA.. (metro)!

get to Gazprom Arena Stadium in St Petersburg with taxi
Order a transfer
Order a private shuttle to Gazprom Arena Stadium in Saint Petersburg
How else to order a ride from the airport, train station or to tourist attraction without knowing Russian? Simply book a private transfer!

The advantages of this type of transportation are - no stress and no problems with language, price is known in advance. And believe or check out - it's not expensive at all! The car will be waiting for you in the right place at the right time. If necessary, your personal driver will be expecting you, holding a banner with your name.

You can book a ride with any service level - incl luxury car, transfer for the family with children or economy minivan for a tourist group for full day . The cost is fixed at the time of pre-order and never rises - either when the driver is waiting for the passenger, when the stop is necessary, or because of traffic jams.

Our choice and recommendation is i`WAY. This is one of the best companies in Russia, providing shuttle services. By the way, reservation a ride with i`WAY is available in almost any country. Remember this on your next trip!
This is an honest guide. Therefore, we do not recommend this service if your place of accommodation (or just pick-up point) is not too far from the attraction you are going to visit. In this case, it is much more better to order a regular taxi. But but if the distance is large, for example, departure point is airport or one of the suburbs(!), then a private transfer is really a convenient and profitable option.

So, if you need a reliable and inexpensive transfer from your hotel or any other location to Gazprom Arena and back, then why not book this service right now? Check the cost - it is not expensive at all and often does not exceed the price of a regular taxicab!

The booking process is very simple! Coverage is not limited to airports, hotels and famous locations. The route is built in the Google Maps engine, wherever there are roads with street names and house numbers.
You can specify the name of a hotel or street in any language, with or without typos! Try it now!
Just in case, we indicate several most popular locations in St. Petersburg. Just copy and paste what you need into the booking form:

  • Футбольная аллея 8 St Petersburg (regular days)
  • Gazprom Arena (event days)
  • Catherine Palace Pushkin
  • Peterhof, Razvodnaya 9 (fountains)
  • Pulkovo Airport LED
  • Railway Station Moskovskiy

NOTE. Make no mistake! If you order a shuttle FROM Gazprom Arena on regular days* by entering the address Futbolnaya Alleya, 8, exit from the parking, (or in Russian - Футбольная аллея, 8, выезд с парковки) your driver will be waiting for you at this place

*PAY ATTENTION! On days of matches & important events (check with the organizer), vehicle access to the area near stadium may be limited or completely prohibited. In this case, use only special locations as departure/arrival points!
