faq.subtitle Kizhi Island
Summer (May-October) — by hydrofoil from Petrozavodsk (1.5 hours, ~$50). Winter (January-March) — by hovercraft over ice.
Entrance ~600₽ (~$7). Guided tour extra. Children under 16 free. Audio guide available.
Minimum 3-4 hours. Hydrofoil stays at the island for 4 hours — enough for main sights.
There is a small cafe. Overnight stays are limited — better to stay in Petrozavodsk. Only museum staff live on the island.
Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Kizhi Island
Book hydrofoil tickets in advance — seats sell out quickly, especially in July-August.
Bring warm clothes — it is cool on the water and island even in summer. Windbreaker essential.
Bring cash! No ATMs on the island. Foreign cards do not work in Russia.
Best time — June-July (white nights, long days) or September (golden autumn, fewer tourists).
Bring food and water — the cafe on the island is small and expensive.
Transfiguration Church is open after 84 years of restoration! You can go inside and see the iconostasis.
