Skip unless you are tracing the Road of Life or visiting the Priyutino Estate. A half-day from Saint Petersburg is enough.
Vsevolozhsk is an industrial commuter town of about 60,000 people, 25 km east of Saint Petersburg. Its main draws are the Road of Life memorials from the Siege of Leningrad and two historic estates. Most travellers pass through on the way to Lake Ladoga or skip it entirely.
