    The most famous street in Russia, Nevsky Prospekt runs through the heart of St. Petersburg. It extends for almost 3 miles, from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station and then turning a corner to continue on as far as the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. There are so many attractions located on or close to Nevsky Prospekt. You could easily spend a few days just visiting them all, never having to venture far off the main drag. As you walk along the street you will see cathedrals/churches, pretty squares, numerous cafes & restaurants, all manner of shops, galleries, plus many carts selling cold drinks and ice creams (well, we were there in summer).

    This intriguing looking building was home to the headquarters of the Singer sewing machine company from 1904. Later it was home to the American Consulate for a few years. In recent times it contained a large bookshop, and now a shopping arcade. Recently restored, the Singer globe and emblem at the top of the building stand out amongst the surrounding buildings. Well worth a photo if you are wandering by.

    As I walked further along Sadovaya Ulitsa, I noticed a very long gallery. It was the shopping complex Gostiny Dvor. This shopping complex takes whole block, a tour around the complex is more then 1 km long. This is the most important shopping place in town. This shopping complex contains separate shops, and there are some international shops. Note the busy traffic in Sadovaya Ulitsa on the picture

    Following Nevskiy Prospekt, just before you cross the Anchikov Bridge with its four men with horse statues, you can see the magnificent Anitsjkov Palace. It was built in 1741 - 1750 in a typical Baroque style. It was a gift from the Tsarina Elisabeth to her lover Aleksej Razoemovski. The palace is named after a lieutenant-colonel Michail Anitsjkov, who at the foundation of the city had his camp at this place.

    It is really worth to enter the magnificent building of Jelisejev along the Nesky Prospekt. This grocery store is completely designed in Style Moderne. Inside you can admire the stained glass windows, the very special crystal chandeliers, the golden ceiling decorations. There was a very special atmosphere inside this grocery shop.

    I walked along Nevskiy Prospekt (avenue) till I arrived at a small square with a kind of Greek temple, and at the corner there was a small, beautiful tower. This tower was the Doema Tower. It was built in 1804 and was used as watch tower for the fire brigade. From 1786 till 1918 it was the housing of the city council.

    While I was walking along Nevskiy Prospekt (avenue), I noticed that there were several churches and Cathedrals (from small till very big). So at the other side of the street there was a small church, painted in blue and white, decorated with columns. It was the Armenian Church, which was built in 1771 - 1780. It was designed by Joeri Veltens and he used a very decorative neo-classic style.

    At the corner with the Griboedova Channel (opposite of the big Kazan Cathedral) there is a big building with amazing decorations. This is Dom Knigi (or the Book shop), it was built in 1902 - 1904 by Pavel Sloezor. It was built for the Sewing Machine manufacturer Singer. Nowadays it houses a big, big book store. The building is richly decorated; note the cone shape tower with a glass globe on top.
