Walking at Nevsky Prospect, St. Petersburg

During our Vision of the Seas Baltic cruise, we did spend Saturday afternoon walking down Nevsky Prospect ((Russian: Не́вский проспе́кт,). It is St. Petersburg's main avenue and one of the best-known streets in Russia, planned by Peter the Great.. Cutting through the historical center of the city. It runs from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station. The major sights include the Rastrelliesque Stroganov Palace, the huge neoclassical Kazan Cathedral, the Art Nouveau Bookhouse (Dom Knigi), Elisseeff Emporium, half a dozen 18th-century churches, a monument to Catherine the Great, an enormous 18th-century shopping mall, a mid-19th-century department store, the Russian National Library, and the Anichkov Bridge with its horse statues.
