NEVSKY PROSPEKT
Nevsky Prospect is St Petersburg's best-known street, cutting through historic
center from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station and then, after a slight
turn, to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. In the very first days of St Petersburg
it was the beginning of a road to Novgorod, but was soon decorated with some
fine buildings, squares and bridges. Nevsky is home to Saint Petersburg's major
attractions, including Dom Knigi, Kazan Cathedral, Grand Hotel Europe, the
National Library, Alexandriinsky Theater, and much more. Today, Nevsky is a
prime place for shopping, entertainment and nightlife.
