Address: Zagorodny Prospect 52
Metro: Pushkinskaya

You might need this beautiful station if you plan to go to South-West Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova, as well as some local destinations.

To find the tickets for local trains, walk along the facade of the station (away from the metro) and turn left around the corner. If you plan to go to Pushkin you should buy tickets to Detskoye Selo.

If you are going to Pavlovsk note that the station bears the same name (surprisingly enough).

Address: Naberezhnaya Obvodnovo Kanala 118
Metro: Baltiyskaya, 400 yards walk to the station

This seriously worn out station leaves much to be desired. It serves the lines to the Baltic states, Pskov, Western Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Most of the facilities offered by the station are sub-standard and the neighborhood is featureless. Maybe one day someone will give this station a total overhaul.

To find the ticket office: walk past the left wing of the station's facade, turn right and walk towards the tracks.
