How to overcome the distance from Rostov-on-Don to St. Petersburg

Route Rostov-on-Don - St. Petersburg is veryin demand by travelers. In summer, the inhabitants of North Palmira go to the south. And how can we pass on the way to Anapa or Sochi Rostov-on-Don?

And their examination does not depend on the time of year.

In addition to the fact that residents of these two cities oftenvisit each other, citizens of other settlements also use this route briskly.

And the like. Therefore, we bring to your attention a brief information about the trip from Rostov to North Palmyra.

Traveling by own car

Over one and a half thousand kilometers in a straight lineseparates Rostov-on-Don and St. Petersburg. The distance is not serious. But these 1541 km will not work directly. Firstly, there is no such road, and secondly, for this it is necessary to cross the border with Ukraine and ride through the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, which under the current political situation is extremely undesirable. But the freeway, more or less close to a straight line, laid on the map, still there. It passes east of the conventional line. And she leads through Moscow. But the way on motorways is extended, and makes already 1794 kilometers. Overcome such a distance by car can be at least twenty hours.

In practice, the travel time increases to a day andmore. Decrease in speed in populated areas, traffic jams in Moscow, inevitable stops for sanitation and food - all this lengthens the road. Without a friend who would replace you at the helm, you can not do. As for the cost of such a trip, then on average you need to focus on the amount of seven and a half thousand rubles.

Rostov-on-Don - St. Petersburg: how to get there by car

It is better to start the trip early in the morning. Immediately after you get out of Rostov, you have to get on the M-4 track. Near Voronezh (before reaching this city), she has a paid site, and the night rate there is 630 rubles from the car, while the daytime - 800. But the road is worth its money - you can safely rush at a speed of 120 km / h. If you want to overcome the distance between Rostov and Peter for a day, you'll have to use it, not a free alternative. There are a lot of snack bars, cafes and refuellings on this site, the road surface is in perfect condition. Although the traffic on the M-4 is always lively, it's a pleasure to drive along this freeway.

Having got on the bypass of Moscow, we move, yetthe congress will appear on the M-11 highway. Traffic on this highway is even more lively. Here you need to be extremely attentive: everywhere are cameras and frequent signs limiting speed. Turning to a paid site on the M-11 does not make sense, because it stretches only seventy kilometers. If you are not in a hurry to get into the city on the Neva, then on the way you can see the rich sights of Veliky Novgorod and Tver.
