Petrozavodsk Travel Guide
Russia
Petrozavodsk is a city of 265,025 people in north-western Russia, on the western shore of Lake Onega. It uses Moscow time, making it one hour ahead of UTC throughout the year.
Most visitors arriving by air use Petrozavodsk Airport, which serves the city directly. The nearby Lake Onega shoreline does not have any notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Petrozavodsk is better approached as a lakeside city than as a beach destination.
