If you plan on visiting St Petersburg you need to spend some time on this street. A lot of city landmarks near, lot of shopping and good restaurants. Great atmosphere!

If your imagination for "things past", you will enjoy the sights of the palaces and buildings on the street. Leading from the river, near the Hermitage, and passing the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, Nevsky Prospekt crosses the canals, one very near to the scene of Rasputin's murder. There are many tourist shops, and an excellent bookshop with many... More

There are great little coffee shops dotted up and down the street, be adventurous and go down the side streets if you have time. We found some brilliant places (at half the price of the main street). Even the large book shops have great... More

Part of their fashion in this city comes from the dozens of boutiques along Nevsky. And nestled between the boutiques you will find some great restaurants and hotels. There is... More

You have to walk it at least once but having walked it you realise that the side streets and following the numerous rivers provides a more interesting overview of the city. The main shopping precincts are off here as are many of the top class hotels nothing to interest me though.

This is a main street, but all the good stuff is on the side streets that lead up to Nevsky Prospekt.
