涅夫斯基大街

下午我们坐巴士换地铁回到圣彼得堡市区，周六的涅夫斯基大街车水马龙，人头攒动。涅夫斯基大街作为彼得堡的主要街道，两旁的建筑都比着冬宫的高度建造，因此整齐划一

A long and interesting boulevard that is best walked early in the morning. We visited February 2013 and it was great to get out while it was still dark.There is just so much to see, beautiful parks, churches, monuments, museums, and of course plenty of cafes for a hot chocolate with big picture windows to watch the world go by - particularly nice if its snowing outside!

I caught the overnight train from Moscow, so we arrived at the main station on Nevsky Prospekt, traveled the length of it in a taxi - passing Cathrine's Monument, the Kazan Cathedral, a couple of bridges over canals, - over the Neva and to my hotel. A lovely welcome to 'Peter.' On my 2nd visit - from the airport, (and what a very different Airport it now is) again in a taxi to my hotel on N.P. As I looked in expectation to see just how good this hotel was or wasn't, - .the cab turned into a snow covered lane. A hotel employee collected my luggage, the lift went up 3 floors to reception. The hotel turned out to be great - but do not look for a frontage on a hotel on Nevsky Prospekt. The dining room overlooked N.P. so I had the pleasure of watching the S.P.B.'s world go by on several occasions.I asked my attractive, young waitress why there were no parking meters in the city - she said that when the money would be collected from the machines - it would, "Just disappear."

When I arrive to SP I didn't realize I was stepping into a street with so many history. It's the main avenue of the city and looks awesome in the evenings. A good starter to experiment the SP nightlife

It is extraordinary to be able to walk on the steps of Dostoievski or Puskin. Nevski Prospekt is a beautiful boulevard, with beautiful sights: Stroganov Palace, Kazan cathedral, Elisseeff Emporium (a beautiful shopping mall in a very interesting palace), Bookhouse (which should be admired especially from the outside, as the building, in art nouveau style, is spectacular), the Anichkov Bridge with it's sculptures - horses, which are one of the most important landmarks of the city. The boulevard ends on the benches of the gulf, at Ermitage and next to the Admirality. My advice is to walk on this boulevard by foot, and admire the magnificent chefs d'ouevre of Saint Petersburg.

Long avenue full of beautifull architecture, amazing historic buidings, commerce, and impressive Palaces! Major avenue in St. Petersburg, don't miss.

Strolling along Nevsky Prospect there is little bit of something for everyone. Several churches are prevalent here along with some delightful old buildings housing stores and businesses today. If you are shopping there are numerous opportunities here with some excvellant window shopping and store front displays.

Just walking out of the hostel onto Nevsky Prospect was so exciting. Yes, the traffic noise was overwhelming ( ah for the good ol' days of the when the horses pulling the trolleys had their hooves muffled), but it is St. Petersburg's main happening thoroughfare. The old long skirt days, the newer Revolution days, the days of the German siege, this street was at the heart of it all.Many postings write of sophisticated pickpocket scams. One writes of being tracked coming out of expensive stores, or restaurants, or their backpacks grabbed. Hey guys, no backpacks, in fact no fanny packs, and no wallet in you pocket! There are things to be worn under your clothes,whereyou can put a credit card, big bills, and a passport if you must carry that (a xerox copy is better). Also no expensive jewelry or fancy clothes, as little as possible to attract attention. I am a female who has traveled the world, often solo, in countries considered dangerous and have NEVER experienced a pickpocket, or even been threatened or made to feel unsafe. Also don't stop on a corner with an open Lonely Planet or a map looking confused, inattentive and vulnerable. Never attract attention! This isn't unique to Russia. Think NewYork City in the 60s.

This street is huge and has everything you would be looking for, lovely cafes, restraurants, shops and a great place to people watch. During the christmas perios there are christmas lights for miles which is lovely. The street is the hub of the city and you can get to all attractions for here. Fantastic city, great street and a must see when you visit the city

During our visit President Putin was in the city for an 'energy' meeting with the Chinese. Security was high as you can imagine. You have to walk up and down the Nevsky to get your bearings on the city, it is quite surprising how close to each other some of the landmarks are. We didn't g into the shops apart from the famous dept. store which has a metro station in the middle, we had driven past several times and I was slighlt disappointed with it, I thought it would be very grand but it wasn't. Anyway an experience not to miss. Oh and yes we did see his motorcade whiz past.

Oh God.!! It is the place where i visited everyday when i was their in SPB. It is one of the most busiest pathway. There is a lot to watch. Shops, Cafes, Restaurants, Stores. Me and my friend used to have dinner at one of the restaurant every night on this street. A MUST VISIT.

You need to prepared to multitask on this busy avenue. There are gorgeous palaces, shops, cafes, cakes and restaurants. I went there once a day for maximum one hour, every time with different purpose and in different place.

Yes, a certain generation of brash Russian men use this beautiful boulevard for drag racing in the thick of evening and night traffic with no cops to stop them. They create a ruckus that could possibly be heard all the way to Moscow, but no one there cares either.Other than this, this is an elegant street that is the heart of this historical and culturally rich city full of wonderful monuments, public spaces, museums etc. It is also lined with beautiful cafes, but the restaurants are all tourist traps or hardcore carnivore, with a couple of exceptions. One can never be bored or run out of places to pop in and out while walking the length and breadth of this street.

We have seen so much on TV and films about Russia, the revolution and communism but seeing it for real is amazing. History, Architecture, Wealth, contrasting over years, decades, centuries with the bleakness of communism. The legacy of both visible and living on. Overall a fantastic experience.

In the two days my wife and I spent in Leningrad, we traversed this magnificent thoroughfare a couple of times in our Tour Bus, and on other occasions enjoyed stops of limited duration at various points throughout its length. Like Oxford St in London and 5th Avenue in NYC, the emphasis is very much on shopping, eating an entertainment. The first offers very little else, whereas the 2nd is home to some of the most iconic buildings in the world: churches, libraries, museums, and marvels of contemporary architecture. Nevsky Prospekt is closer in content to 5th Ave., but less richly endowed, and very much older in terms of the origin of its major structures. Starting near Palace Square to the side of the Admiralty Building, it runs the length of 6 Metro Stations in a non-linear fashion to the Moscow Railway Station and then turns towards the Alexander Nevsky Monastery to rejoin the Neva River. For most of its length it is wider than the two arteries above, so that it feels more relaxed and less crowded. It is adorned by several statues, most notable of which is a large monument to Catherine the Great, and it crosses several strips of water, the Anichkov Bridge with its 4 equestrian statues being an especially striking component. The main entrance to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan is set back from the road by a large grassy verge, and the very Russian-looking Church of Our Saviour on Spilled Blood can be seen down one of the intersecting streets. The former Singer Sewing Machine Headquarters is a head-turning Regency-style building with a magnificently decorated roof, while the city’s largest Department Store and its branch of the Russian National Library are also of special interest. Several Museums and other centers of cultural interest lie just off Nevsky itself but cannot justifiably be included in its evaluation. On a scale of 10, I would give 5th Ave 10, Oxford St 5, and Nevsky 7.5.
