The rough triangle (to the north of Nevskii) formed by the street's central stretch, the Fontanka canal and the Neva is crammed full of St. Petersburg's main cultural attractions and a good number of its restaurants and places of entertainment. There's the Winter Palace and Palace Square , the Saviour on Spilled Blood Cathedral and Museum , the Russian Museum , the Mussorgsky Concert Hall and the nearby Philharmonic. On the south side of Nevskii Prospekt stands the impressive semi-circular and columned Kazan Cathedral and further along you will find the central department store Gostinyi Dvor which is not far from the plush Grand Hotel Europe .<br/><br/>This is the touristic, commercial and cultural heart of the city where visitors are guaranteed to spend a large chunk of their time. Nevskii itself is buzzing at all hours, but traffic (both human and vehicular) can be escaped by venturing to the peaceful Summer Gardens which are located north of the triangle.<br/><br/><strong>Vasilievskii Island</strong><br/><br/>This large chunk of land lies to the northwest of the center, dividing the river Neva into the Greater and Lesser Nevas. Although the island is now primarily a sleepy residential district, it played a major role in the city's early history.<br/><br/>Peter the Great originally intended Vasilevskii to be the city's center and therefore encouraged newly-arrived nobles and merchants to set themselves up there. His plans were never realized—problems with the construction of a canal network and the logistical nightmare of locating a city center on a sometimes inaccessible island encouraged the rise of Nevksii Prospekt as the alternative hub of the city. Nonetheless, testimony to the former importance of the island lies in the cluster of museums and buildings on the eastern side—the pre-revolutionary stock exchange building (now home to a Naval Museum) still stands here, along with Peter's macabre Kunstkammer museum and a little further on, St. Petersburg State University —the <em>alma mater</em> of President Putin. <br/><br/>Beyond this there isn't a lot to see or do on Vasilievskii, although if you want a look at some awe-inspiring Soviet architecture you could do a lot worse than the vast residential building stretching westwards from Primorskaia metro. Also nearby is the hulking mass of the Swedish-built Pribaltiiskaia hotel which stands atop an extensive open area of concrete looking out onto the Gulf of Finland.<br/><br/><strong>The Petrograd Side & the Kirov Islands</strong><br/><br/>When Peter the Great first concocted his grand plan for a capital city on the Gulf of Finland, construction began on the Peter and Paul Fortress , located on the northern shores of the Neva. Although Nevskii Prospekt may constitute the heart of modern-day St. Petersburg, the city's origins actually lie on the other side of the river. <br/><br/>The area to the north of the fortress is known as the Petrograd side. After the construction of Trinity Bridge , the area experienced something of a housing boom, contributing to its essentially residential nature. That said, it's not without interest. For a start, there's the Museum of Political History (in which Russia is not exactly lacking) and the "ship that launched the revolution"—the Aurora —which is moored just around the embankment from the fortress. The Petrograd side was home to a number of notables (including Shostakovich, Lenin and Pavlov), each of whom have respective apartment museums situated here.<br/><br/>The islands—Krestovskii, Kamennyi and Yelagin—are favorite winding-down spots for Petersburgers tired of the hectic city life to the south. Lurking at the western end of Krestovskii Island is the huge Kirov Stadium.<br/><br/><strong>South & West of Nevskii</strong><br/><br/>The area south and west of Nevskii (again, the area of land enclosed by the Neva, Nevskii and this time the southern stretch of the Fontanka canal) is also home to many tourist delights which are obviously less concentrated here than in the heart of the city. The tone of the area can change fairly dramatically: Sennaia Ploshchad is about 15 minutes by foot from the imperial St. Isaac's Square, but in comparison to the soaring grandeur of St Isaac's Cathedral or the elegance of its neighbor the Astoria hotel, it's a dingy vision of haphazard kiosks. However, much of the area is residential and fairly sleepy. <br/><br/>Behind Gostinyi Dvor stands Apraksin Dvor—a downmarket complex of market stalls, smaller stores and cafes. At the northern end stands the Admiralty and the Bronze Horseman —two great symbols of the city—while deeper inside the territory stands the world-famous Mariinskii Theatre , the city's premiere cultural venue. <br/><br/><strong>Beyond the Fontanka</strong><br/><br/>This incorporates a huge area, including the eastern end of Nevskii as well as the Liteinyi, Vladimirskaia and Smolnyi regions. <br/><br/>Beyond the Fontanka, Nevskii itself becomes more solidly commercial, although a glance above shop level reveals an impressive mish-mash of architectural styles. The modern, luxury Nevskij Palace hotel is situated about a ten minute's walk from the Fontanka.<br/><br/>Vladimirskaia—to the south—is a bustling hub of activity, its main thoroughfares being important shopping areas. The area is also dotted with museums such as the Dostoevsky Museum .</p><p>To the north, Liteinyi Prospekt and the area around Chernyshevskaia metro is a little quieter and more restrained. Maybe there's a reason for this—at the end of the street lie the former offices of the St. Petersburg KGB. It's very much a residential/commercial district, but there are nonetheless a few cultural attractions to be found here.<br/><br/><strong>The Country Estates</strong><br/><br/>The city itself isn't exactly lacking in extravagant monuments from the Imperial age, but if you want a glimpse of just how extravagant Russia's pre-Communist rulers really were, you'll need to jump on a suburban train and visit at least one of the Tsarist country residences. Though nearly all the palaces were sacked by the Germans during their World War II invasion, the palaces have been well-restored to their former glory. <br/><br/>For sheer bombastic opulence, visit Peterhof —built to order by Peter the Great as a riotously over-the-top testimony to Russia's victory over Sweden. The huge Catherine Palace at Tsarskoe Selo is also grand, while the other estates— Pavlovsk , Oranienbaum (also known as Lomonosov) and Gatchina —are not quite as ostentatious but are still redolent of Imperial grandeur.</p></div> </div> <div class="ft"><div class="bl corner sp-common"></div><div class="br corner sp-common"></div><div class="fill"> </div></div> </div> <div class="ygcl"><div></div></div> </div> <table class="iconlinks"><tbody><tr> <td><div class="floater" id="weather-icon-link"><div class="icon sp-citypage weather-icon"> </div><span class="text">Weather</span></div></td><td><div class="floater" id="map-icon-link"><div class="icon sp-citypage map-icon"> </div><span class="text">View Map</span></div></td><td><div class="floater" id="trip-icon-link"><div class="icon sp-citypage trip-icon"> </div><span class="text">Add to Trip</span></div></td><td><div class="floater" id="add-photos-icon-link"><div class="icon sp-citypage add-photos-icon"> </div><span class="text">Add Photos</span></div></td> </tr></tbody></table> <div class="ygcl"><div></div></div> </div> <div class="righthalf"> <div id="ytrvPhotosMod" class="first"> <div class="loadtxt bold">Loading...</div> <div class="everything"> <div id="media-photo-title" class="bold">Petergoph</div> <div class="heroleft"> <div id="media-photo-frame" class="landscape"> <div class="spinner" id="media-photo-spinner"> <img id="media-photo-hero" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131001213255im_/http://farm1.hv-static.flickr.com/246/517591751_5278c2393e.jpg" alt="Petergoph" galleryimg="no" itemprop="image"/> </div> <a id="media-photo-hover-next" hidefocus href="javascript:void(0);" class="hover-arrow sp-regional"><em id="media-photo-hover-next-arrow"> </em></a> <a id="media-photo-hover-prev" hidefocus href="javascript:void(0);" class="hover-arrow sp-regional"><em id="media-photo-hover-prev-arrow"> </em></a> <div class="photorating" id="media-photo-thumbs"> <div class="shim"></div> <span class="text bold">Vote</span> <div id="media-photo-thumbs" class="thumbs"> <a class="siskel sp-regional" id="media-photo-vote-yes" lang="en-US" href="javascript:void(0);"> </a> <div class="separator sp-regional"> </div> <a class="ebert sp-regional" id="media-photo-vote-no" lang="en-US" href="javascript:void(0);"> </a> </div> </div> <div class="attr" id="media-photo-attr"> <div class="shim"></div> <a rel="nofollow" id="media-photo-attrlink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131001213255/http://www.flickr.com/photos/8534655@N07/517591751" target="_blank">selenamary - Flickr</a> </div> </div> <div id="media-video-frame"> <div id="media-video-player"> </div> </div> <a rel="nofollow" id="media-photo-abuse" href="/web/20131001213255/http://travel.yahoo.com/abuse?p=travelguide&url=%2Fp-travelguide-191501793-st_petersburg_vacations-i&id=191501793&type=photo&photoid=517591751">Report problem</a> <span id="media-photo-cc">© All rights reserved - uploaded through Yahoo!

Old Soviet-style cafes and canteens selling meat of questionable origin are still around but further up the scale the city offers an amazing variety of cuisines from around the world. While things slowed down a bit after the economic crisis of 1998, today a new wave of openings is well underway, with new restaurants and bars appearing with even greater frequency. Also, there is the inevitable selection of standard international chains–McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut can all be found here. <br/><br/>The quality of service normally corresponds to price although generally speaking, Western service culture is conspicuously absent. Indifferent staff and inexplicable delays are a common feature of many establishments. This tends to be mitigated the higher up the price scale you go. Many places haven't got the hang of serving courses in the correct order and don't be surprised if you wait for three-quarters of an hour before your starter and main course appear simultaneously. Who said predictability was interesting?<br/><br/>Central<br/><br/>A perennial favorite of visitors to the city has to be the famous Kafe Idiot . It's mid-priced, vegetarian, nearly always busy and a relaxing place to be. Located in the city center, the Kafe Lagidze specializes in Georgian cuisine, while Valhall is a Viking-themed restaurant offering a mixture of Russian and European dishes. Known for its modern take on the traditional Russian "meat and potatoes" approach to dining is the lively Pushka Inn Restaurant and Bar located in the city center. <br/><br/>Both St Petersburg and Moscow have their fair share of immigrants from former Soviet republics. Georgian food is particularly popular, with several fine outlets in St Petersburg: the Kavkaz Cafe and Restaurant for example, is reasonably-priced and centrally located. European cuisine comes in all varieties and at all prices. Italian is predictably well represented, from the bustling Patio Pizza on Nevskii Prospekt.<br/><br/> Mama Roma is famous for its superb business lunch, while Federico Fellini's Cinema Restaurant is a film fan's dream. One of the city's Irish bars, the aptly named Mollie's Irish Bar , is a popular ex-pat hangout that isn't far from Nevskii Prospekt. Burgers, juicy steaks and apple pie can all be had at California Grill or else you could try the reasonably new frontier-style Fort Ross Bar just off Nevskii Prospekt. The City Bar also offers a Western-style menu as most of its clientele are ex-pats.<br/><br/>If Oriental food is what floats your boat, and you have money to burn, you could try out Chopsticks in the Grand Hotel Europe . Other options include the decent Krasnyi Terem (a surprisingly inexpensive option on Nevskii Prospekt), and the Zolotaia Panda Cafe .<br/><br/>Vasilievskii Island<br/><br/>The dining options become a bit thin West of the city center. Most of this district is taken up with residences and sporadically placed, privately-owned shops. Coming here to eat is well worth it, however. The gem of the bunch is Staraia Tamozhnia , one of the few restaurants on Vasilievskii Island. It is an upscale restaurant frequented by wealthy businessmen and those looking to have an enjoyable, extravegant meal. The menu is filled with decadent options and exquisite wine selections. There is also live jazz from a local band in the evenings. <br/><br/>The Petrograd Side & the Kirov Islands<br/><br/>The Golden Dragon serves an abundant mix of Asian cuisine: the menu lists over 100 items. This is a good place for families or couples, as the interior is comfortable and inviting. Sharovnia na Aptekarskom is a sports club and restaurant where you can go and shoot pool or bowl. The rustic interior makes it a great place to spend a relaxing evening. Picasso is named for the legendary Spanish artist, and serves food inspired by his country of birth. The dishes on the menu here are named for his paintings.There is also live music to keep things energetic. The meat-centric Miasorubka serves expertly-spiced Mongolian dishes. The interior is comforting and warm.</p></div><div class="reco-teaser"> St Petersburg's current restaurant scene is unrecognizable compared to that of ten years ago.
