St. Petersburg Jet Charter

That’s not to say there’s nothing to do in the Saint Petersburg. There’s a lot. It’s just the city’s atmosphere makes everything a bit better.

It’s just the type of ambiance to makes your ears crave music and your eyes fiend for art – a claim made evident by the fact you can pretty much see a reenactment of Swan Lake at any given time; there’s always some major orchestra playing at Mariinsky Theatre, and 24-hour jazz clubs are almost as common as the Russian Blini stalls in the streets.

There’s visual art everywhere in the city. Whether it be the buildings or art that fit into the more traditional sense of the word, you’re going to see it constantly. The State Hermitage Museum in Dvortsovaya Square houses more than three million artworks and artifacts just by itself. Three million – more than you’ll find in most cities.

You’ll also be able to check out Russia’s first state museum, The Russian Museum, as well as the one-of-a-kind Freud’s Dream Museum. There’s also a wealth of commercial art galleries you can check out if you want to bring something home. The city is ground zero for Russian contemporary and fine art, and it’s currently experiencing a bit of a renaissance; it makes a lot of sense to visit now. We can help you get to St. Petersburg via luxury private jet charter.

After your private jet charter flight arrives in Russia, you’ll find St. Petersburg to be one big post card picture. You can whip out your phone and snap a NatGeo-worthy photo at just about any street corner, and you’ll see plenty of people taking advantage of this fact.

It’s not just the buildings though. There’s real art, and huge statues, and monuments and tons of other things to see in the area; it’s all just eye candy. From the Peter and Paul Fortress created in 1703 to the Winter Palace and the Summer Garden, some of Russia’s most treasured sites are right in the middle of St Petersburg. It’s almost impossible to not be in awe of it all.

Saint Petersburg is home to a wealth of luxury accommodations for private jet travelers. Having been built in the 1700’s, St. Petersburg is full of luxury lodging options that combine a sense of history with modern amenities.

Hotels in this city were definitely not built according to contemporary luxury standards. They were built to the luxury standards of the 18th century elite; they’re old yet well preserved, and lavish. They’re appointed with plush carpets and furniture, and thick gold-trimmed curtains with frilly tassels hanging off. The white-gloved and black-coated staff members enhance the experience in each one, and the service is usually top notch. Yet the amenities offered are right up to the standards of the poshest London and New York hotels; they just exist within more refined settings.

The city does offer some contemporary luxury options in the form of upscale chains like the Four Seasons and The W Hotel. These modern luxury brands are perfect if you’re just stopping by St. Petersburg on a bit of business. If you’re visiting for the cultural experience, though, you’re definitely going to want to stay at one of the more boutique options.

Regardless of where you end up staying you’re sure to have a great time. But it definitely helps to pick out your accommodation well beforehand. If you’re still trying to pick the best one, keep reading for a few ideas. Saint Petersburg Jet Charter has compiled a list of all the best places to stay in the city.

Most people would point to Moscow if you asked them where the best nightlife in Russia is. They’d probably say Moscow is way nicer, or the clubs and bars there are posher or cooler. Most people would be wrong, though. People often equate sleek, contemporary surroundings, nicely dressed attendees, and steep drink prices with a good time. You can definitely find all of that in SPB, but Saint Petersburg is so much more; it’s sort of the antithesis of the common Moscow night out.

It’s 24/7 just like other major cities, but the historic district in Saint Petersburg is where all of the action happens. Little nightlife spots cater to different crowds, but all of them are within 30 minutes driving of each other. One spot definitely beats all of the others, though – Dumskaya Street, a free-for-all driven by every social stratus in the city. You’ll see reckless 20-somethings being rowdy next to cultured white-collars sipping cocktails. Yet the atmosphere is always effervescent, as if everyone received the memo saying “leave your bad mood at home and smile.”

The city has its upscale options, too, and you can’t forget the live music and theater venues. If you prefer a more moderate and even-keel atmosphere, head over to either Krestovsky Island or Kunushennaya Square. The clubs in these areas typically enforce dress codes and a bit of face control as the evening grows older.

As far as live music goes, Saint Petersburg is probably beating Moscow at the moment. The Bolshoi always cemented Moscow as Russia’s top dance, theater, and opera destination. Now, the Mariinsky Theatre is enjoying greater popularity than its iconic rival. The venue is putting on more progressive and exploratory shows that people are really responding positively to. It works especially well in Saint Petersburg, long considered to be the most open-minded and liberal of the Russian mega cities.

Runway Length: 12,401 feet | 11,145 feet

Pulkovo Airport (IATA: LED, ICAO: ULLI) is the primary airport for private air charters and scheduled airline service in St. Peterburg. The airport opened in 1932 to link Moscow with St. Petersburg, which at the time was known as Leningrad. The airport played a crucial role in WWII, as one of the only connections to the city during the Siege of Leningrad.

It was originally named Shosseynaya Airport after the nearest train station, until 1973 when it was renamed Pulkovo. (ULLI)Pulkovo International Airport was renovated during the 1950s to service larger aircraft and more passengers, and today the airport is the third busiest airfield in Russia, serving the entire population of approximately 6,150,000 people in the Leningrad Oblast.

Pulkovo features two cement-concrete runways, both of which are long enough to handle any jet. Our Saint Petersburg Jet Charter clients jet can choose between six FBOs at the airport; Pulkovo 2 is the terminal frequently used for government officials and VIP travelers. Operators base several private aircraft at (LED) Pulkovo International, offering a variety of options and opportunities for our clients.

Runway Length: 8,202 feet

Located just 28 kilometers south of Saint Petersburg, Puskin Airport (ICAO: ULLP) offers an additional arrival option for business jets and executive charters in the Leningrad Oblast.

Operating with a 8,202-foot concrete runway, Pushkin’s primary focus is on light to mid-size private jets, helicopter charters and small airliners. (ULLP) Pushkin also offers more privacy and anonymity compared to St. Petersburg’s LED Pulkovo International.
