Description

Nevsky Avenue is the main street in the city of St. Petersburg, Russia. Planned by Peter the Great as beginning of the road to Novgorod and Moscow, the avenue runs from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station and, after making a turn at Vosstaniya Square, to the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.
The view shown here is looking west up the Nevsky Avenue showing the corner of the Great Gostiny Dvor shopping complex, one of the first shopping arcades in the world.
