If you are in Moscow, but really want to see the folklore show, you can still attend this or other performances in the theaters of St. Petersburg by purchasing train tickets from Moscow to St. Petersburg. We recommend the Sapsan high-speed train - on it you can leave Moscow in the morning and be in St. Petersburg in just 4 hours - it is faster, cheaper and more comfortable than flying by plane.

After the performance, we can safely catch a night train from St. Petersburg to Moscow. We recommend popular upscale trains such as the Grand Express or Red Arrow.
