Saint Petersburg, Leningrad Region to Syktyvkar, Northwestern Federal District from $32: 4 ways by bus, train, flight or car

Onboard services on trains traveling from Saint Petersburg to Syktyvkar include catering services where you can purchase meals, snacks, and beverages from a mobile trolley that circulates throughout the journey. It’s advisable to bring cash (rubles), as not all trains may accept credit cards onboard.

There are typically three main types of seating available on the trains operating this route: First Class (SV), Business Class (K), and Economy Class (Platzkart and Kupe). First Class offers more spacious cabins with fewer passengers (usually two per cabin), while Business Class has a better service level but is relatively close to Economy, which features open-plan dormitory-style seating. For comfort, I recommend opting for Business Class if available, especially for the longer journey.
