Sennaya & Kolomna - St Petersburg - page 223

» Free Concerts Check out the Maly Zal (small hall) at the Rimsky-Korsakov Con-
servatory ( CLICK HERE ), where you'll often see fantastic-quality free concerts from
students and alumni.
» Transport Issues Get to know the bus and marshrutka routes if you're going to
be spending any time in Kolomna, where there's no metro and distances between
sights on foot can be very long.
Getting There & Away
» Metro Sennaya is served by the interconnecting Sennaya pl (Line 2 and 5) and
Spasskaya (Line 4), the city's biggest interchange station. Kolomna is not served by
the metro, so you'll need to walk from Sennaya pl or Admiralteyskaya.
» Bus Bus 3 connects the Mariinsky with Nevsky pr via Bolshaya Morskaya ul.
» Marshrutka Marshrutka 7 runs from Sennaya pl all the way to the far end of
Sadovaya ul in Kolomna.
Lonely Planet's Top Tip
Book ahead of time to see the ballet or opera performance you're interested in
at the Mariinsky Theatre ( www.mariinsky.ru ), especially during the White
Nights, when performances of popular productions sell out months in advance.
You can book and pay for tickets on the website, and then collect them at the
box office before the performance, which is much better than trying to find what's
available once you're in town.
