Harold beat me to it , but in addition to the ticket purchase , there is one other thing to bear in mind - I took this train , " Allegro " in Autumn of 2015 , so it is possible things have since changed , but if not - You will need to board the train at Finlandsky Station . You will arrive by either metro or perhaps taxi . The train does not depart from the station building proper , but from a platform which you access on the west side of the building , about a block north . Find it by standing in front of the station , facing the building . Turn left and walk to the corner and turn right , up that street . The entrance is a block or so on your right .
