Passazh

Passazh, built in 1848, the Premier Shopping Emporium still retains its original beauty. Unfortunately the choice here is a bit limited and is targeted mostly for the local market. It is a smaller shopping center for the elite.

An arcade originally opened in 1848 as the premier shopping emporium for St. Petersburg's upper classes, Passazh still plays on imperial associations. A mid- 19th- century shopping arcade across the street from Gostinny Dvor caters primarily to the local population.

The souvenir sections, however, are worth visiting, as prices, in rubles, are significantly lower here than in the souvenir shops around hotels and in other areas frequented by tourists. You can also pick up fine table linens at bargain prices.

The central passageway measures 180m and is lined on either side with a two- floored gallery of shops. Check out the supermarket downstairs for a cornucopia of imported foods.

For those, who doubt the selection of gift, they propose the gift certificate for any sum, which gives all the right to owner to select gift in “the passage” on its taste.

Hours: 10:00 - 21:00, Sun. 11:00 - 21:00.
