Line 3 (Saint Petersburg Metro)
Line 3 of the Saint Petersburg Metro, also known as ''Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya Line'' () or ''Green Line'', is a rapid transit line in Saint Petersburg, Russia, which connects city centre with the western and southeastern districts.

It stands out among Saint Petersburg metro lines for two reasons — its stations are almost exclusively of "Horizontal Lift" type and it has the longest inter-station tunnels in the entire system. Metro officials originally intended to add stations in-between the existing ones, but those plans were later abandoned.

Opened on 28 December 2011, it is designed to relieve congestion at the Nevsky Prospekt and Gostiny Dvor stations, as well as to provide a more direct link to the Hermitage and other notable museums.

In June 2009, the issue was finally settled and the station opened on 28 December 2011. The name originates from the Admiralty building, whic ...
