Maybe Nevski prospect is well known for every one who have reed russian litteratur from pre revolutionary time where its often mentioned. But its not the same any more ! Hundred of thousends cars driving day and night along it and you can understand why its not anything to look at !

Worth a good long walk, but mostly because it is in the middle of what there is to see, not because the street itself is so fascinating. Check out the hot dog carts. Really.

What a magical experience !! It was during New Year when my fiancee and myself walked this impressive street, there were crowds of people, beautiful lights, Christmas was everywhere, quite ,quite spectacular ! If you don`t mind the sun not rising to about 11;00 am then go here at New year, wonderful.

Depending on the day and time of day this can be a crowded busy street or something a bit more laid back. Lots of amazing architecture and plenty of shops for anything imaginable. Glad we didn't stay in a hotel on or near here though ...

We stayed right off Nevsky so we were there daily. Lots of restaurants to choose from. Lots of coffee cafes. Beware of pickpockets who work in threes especially right off Nevsky on side streets! Shops are pricey and the goods are mostly imported. Cheaper by comparison in US. The nice thing is that strollers walk Nevsky well into the night.... More

Too much cars and traffic makes this large street unbearable to walk on. You get used to the pollution after a while, but still you will feel this every time you go to a side street for a breath of fresh air. Lots of shops on the streets, and really beautiful at night.

Although the neighborhood is nice we found people not very friendly.

In some ways much as any other large city streets -you have to remind yourself that you are in Russia. Compared to a visit to Moscow some 30 years ago a complete turn around.

Widest main street I've ever seen, 8 lanes. Many shops, cafes and hotels along it. When the lights go green for pedestrians to cross, cars come out from side streets. Interesting concept.
