About Gorelovo
Where to stay in Gorelovo
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Gorelovo is a low-rise residential edge of Saint Petersburg, not a base for sightseeing. Beds are scarce out here in the Krasnoselsky District; the settlement runs along its streets around Gorelovo railway station and the green of Pasechnik Skver, well away from the palaces of the centre. Trains do the work.
If you would trade a central address for a quiet rail-side room and a fast line into the city, this outer okrug works as a plain landing point rather than a sightseeing base.
