The largest department store in the city is located on the left side of Nevsky prospect. The store was built in 1765-1776 and called “Gostinny Dvor”. The store is very popular among locals and tourist, most of whom want to visit the shop just to see it architecture.
The right side of Nevsky prospect is always full of tourists as there you can find one of the most luxurious hotels in the whole city. The Grand Hotel Europe is one of the best five star hotels in St. Petersburg.
The largest bookstore “The House of Books” in St. Petersburg is situated in the corner of Nevsky prospect. Here you can find different kinds of books in many languages.
