Getting to / from and around Barnaul

 

Located in the center of Barnaul, about 10-15 minutes by public transport to the central core of the city. The main building is opened 24 hours, it is clean and there's a waiting hall. There are also 24-hour ticket offices, snack and news shops, toilets and showers, ATM, and 24-hour international telephone office. The currency exchange office is outside of the station and is opened 10.00 to 18.00 daily.

 

Outside of the railway station there are a lot of taxis, but we advise to walk a bit further to the square - like this the price will be much lower. It normally costs about 50R (€1.7) to get to the central Lenina Prospekt street by taxi. There's also a lot of public transport.
