Penza (Russia)

From Wikitravel

Penza (Russian: Пенза) is the large industrial capital of Penza Oblast in Russia.

[edit] Get in

The easiest way to get to Penza is from Moscow. A regular train (#052) departs from Kazanskiy Railway Station at about 8-30 p.m. daily. It is quite comfortable and is affordable even for low-budget backpackers. In about 12 hours you will arrive at Penza's main railway station "Penza I" which is in the very center of the city.

[edit] Get around

Penza does not have metro or trams, but the size and layout of the city make it easy to get around by bus (fare is 7 Russian Roubles, about $0.3) or taxi (fare $5-10 depending on how far you need to go and how hard you bargain with the driver). Another option is to use shuttle bus service: it is slightly more expensive, but faster and more comfortable compared to a regular bus.
