St. Petersburg’s Nevsky Prospekt Carries The Legacy Of Peter The Great

When a street was planned by Peter the Great, you know it’s going to be something special. Nevsky Prospekt is the main drag in St. Petersburg and was first set out in the early 18th century. Although it’s often filled with tourists, the street's true beauty shines the most during those rare moments when the sidewalks are free. Nevsky Prospekt runs from Moscow Railway Station to the Admiralty, the space in between lined with a few examples of spectacular architecture. Along the street, you’ll see the Church of our Savior on Spilled Blood and the Kazan Cathedral.
