Surroundings
This area is the heart
of the city with Nevsky Prospect, St. Petersburg’s
main thoroughfare running nearby. The main
railroad station - Moscow Station is located
in this area so it is a very convenient
place to stay in for travelers. The area
is short walking distance from many of the
city’s major attractions: The Hermitage
Museum, the Russian Museum, Kazansky Cathedral
as well as many others. There are many interesting
architectural sites in this area. Take a
walk and look at the various facades of
many of the old, grand buildings. Many of
the city’s businesses are located in
this area as are numerous restaurants and
stores. If you are in the city during the
white nights season, between mid May and
mid August, don’t miss a chance to
stroll along the embankment and watch the
many bridges across the Neva rise –
it is really a spectacular site that you
will never forget.
