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.
