You can reach St. Petersburg from Finland via the Helsinki-St. Petersburg Highway through the border town of Vyborg; the main street into and out of town for Finland is Kamennoostrovsky prospekt. To reach Moscow, take Moskovsky prospekt; at the hotel Pulkovskaya roundabout, take Mosvoskoye shosse (M-10/E-95), slightly to the left of the road to the airport. Bear in mind that it will take at least two hours to clear customs and immigration at the border, and on occasions (e.g., Friday night and weekends) the lines can be lengthy, increasing your wait considerably.
