Getting there

Without a car

Take a suburban train from Finland Station in Saint Petersburg to Ladozhskoye Ozero, the final stop. The lighthouse and the start of the walk are about 10–15 minutes away on foot. Check the evening return timetable before setting out.

By car

Drive from Saint Petersburg along the Road of Life through Vsevolozhsk and Kokkorevo to Ladozhskoye Ozero. The main approach is paved; do not drive up to the lighthouse fence or use service roads.

Parking

Use the public parking areas by Ladozhskoye Ozero station, the Road of Life Museum or the beach zone. Keep service access clear.
