Egg Donation Abroad — in St. Petersburg

O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic is situated in the heart of St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city. It is easy to get to, with regular flights to St. Petersburg from cities throughout Europe. The clinic is surrounded by hotels, shops, canals and cultural sights such as museums, art galleries, theatre and opera houses.

Location

St. Petersburg is built on Russia's west coast, looking out over the Gulf of Finland. Thanks to its coastal location, it is not subject to the extremes of temperature that affect inland cities such as Moscow. Its beautiful, intricate architecture and many picturesque canals have led it being called 'The Venice of the North'. It is easy to explore both on foot and by public transport, with dozens of important historical and cultural sights located a short distance from one another. St. Petersburg is a favorite destination for travelers wanting an interesting, varied and accessible city break.

Travel

So you thought the journey to St Petersburg would take longer! Most patients are amazed by how quick and easy it is to travel to our clinic. With the support of our personal coordinators, this trip becomes both easy and enjoyable as St Petersburg not only offers our wonderful and successful clinic, but also a wealth of history, entertainment and culture.

Most of our non-Russian patients arrive by air at Pulkovo Airport (www.pulkovoairport.ru) which is situated about 15 km to the south of the city center. Many scheduled flights arrive here each day from other European cities. We will be glad to arrange a taxi to take you to your hotel or to the O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic . There are also shuttle buses traveling between the airport and a number of Metro stations in the city.

To travel to Russia from most countries also requires a Visa, although this may sound time-consuming, it is in fact very quick, easy and straightforward just like the flights!

All countries that require you to obtain a Visa will have their own Visa application and support offices.

It is best to arrange this as far in advance as possible, as soon as you are certain of the dates of your Initial Consultation and/or the embryo transfer. Sometimes your visa can be arranged by your travel agency if you give them sufficient notice, but if you are traveling independently you will need to arrange it yourself. We can help you by supplying the papers you require to obtain a visa.

If you are traveling for an initial consultation, for sperm cryopreservation or embryo transfer, you can come to St.Petersburg by ferry and stay up to 72 hours without a visa. The ferries leave from Helsinki (Finland) and Tallin (Estonia).

Hotels

There is a wide variety of hotels of all price classes within a few minutes' walks of O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic. This means you can reach us quickly and easily, secure in the knowledge that you will not be late for an important appointment. We can help you with choosing a hotel and also arrange your visa support documents.

Enjoying your stay

Depending on whether or not you come to O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic for an Initial Consultation, you will visit St. Petersburg either once or twice. Although the main reason you come to our great city is to become a parent, you might as well enjoy your stay too! Some of our patients enjoy strolling along our beautiful canals and sampling the menus at restaurants specializing in Russian or another cuisine. Others decide to take in as many sights as possible, while quite a few cannot resist booking a night at the opera or Mariinsky Ballet. There are also many shopping delights to be had, ranging from snapping up inexpensive Matrushka dolls for your friends and family to investing in an authentic Russian winter coat. Whatever your interests, a little planning before you get here will ensure that you have a pleasant visit.
