Vitebsky railway station is located near Pushkinskaya metro station (the red line). The trains directions include South-West Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Central Europe and St. Petersburg suburbs such as Pushkin and Pavlovsk. Vitebsky rail terminal was constructed by architect Konstantin Thon and was opened in the presence of Nicholas I of Russia on 30 October 1837. Initially the station was named the Tsarskoe Selo Station. A replica of the first Russian train that departed from the platform of the station for the imperial residence at Tsarskoe Selo may be seen as a permanent exhibit at the modern Vitebsky railway station. |
