Asked by Wiki User

It is a northern neighbor of Russia. I went to Russia this summer and wanted to visit Helsinki for the day, but that was impossible. I would have had to take a train between St. Petersburg and Helsinki and it would have taken at least 14 hours. I couldn't find a ship or ferry that went between the two that was faster. There was no way. I was surprised to see that no ferry ran. I loved St. Petersburg.

Asked by Wiki User

There are several small bodies of water between Sweden and Russia. They are all connected, but have different names. The Gulf of Bothnia separates Sweden and Finland- it is located to the east of Sweden. To get to Russia from there, you must travel through the Gulf of Finland- you will land in St. Petersburg. Both of these gulfs are smaller bodies of water contained in the Baltic Sea.
