Palace Square is located in the central part of St. Petersburg, at the eastern end of Nevsky Prospekt, next to the Neva River. The nearest metro station, Admiralteyskaya, is approximately 500 meters from Palace Square. (See the map of St. Petersburg on rus-tourist.ru.)
The easiest way is to take the metro to Admiralteyskaya and then walk to the square.
After exiting the Admiralteyskaya metro station (on Kirpichny Lane), you can:
Walk slightly left, turn right onto Malaya Morskaya Street, then left onto Nevsky Prospekt (the golden spire of the Admiralty will be your landmark). After 100 meters, look right. There you will see Palace Square and the Winter Palace.
Option 2: After exiting the metro station, turn right, and after 100 meters, turn left onto Bolshaya Morskaya Street. This will take you to Palace Square through the General Staff Arch.
If you exited the metro at Gostiny Dvor or Nevsky Prospekt stations, you can walk to Palace Square along Nevsky Prospekt. The landmark is the golden spire of the Admiralty building. You’ll see it at the end of Nevsky Prospekt. (Moskovsky Railway Station is on the opposite side.) The distance is approximately 900-1000 meters.
From Moskovsky Railway Station, you can also walk along Nevsky Prospekt or take a trolleybus to Palace Square. The distance is approximately 3 kilometers.
