Shostakovich Philharmonic
Built in the 1830s, Russia's premier music
hall has staged the country's leading works,
from Tchaikovsky's concertos to Rach-
maninoff 's symphonies. It has hosted con-
ductors including Sviatoslav Richter, and
of course Dmitri Shostakovich.
Continue down Mikhailovskaya Ulitsa to Nevsky
Prospekt. Turn around and look at the Square of
the Arts one more time from this perspective.
Then turn left down Nevsky and continue to the
underground walkway at the next intersection.
Cross Nevsky through this passage, noting its
lively commerce in pirated CDs, DVDs, and soft-
ware. You'll emerge at:

Gostiny Dvor
This 19th-century shopping mall has
gone through several incarnations. Pic-
ture its early years, when it was a gather-
ing place for the nobility looking for gifts
to take to balls at the Winter Palace.
SHOPPING
Nevsky Prospekt
is the city's commercial lifeline, and
Gostiny Dvor
shopping arcade
concentrates all of Nevsky's riches in one two-story prerevolutionary mall.
Upper
Nevsky
holds the posher shops, while
Lower Nevsky
(east of Moskovsky Train Sta-
tion) is less pretentious.
Vernisazh,
an outdoor market across from the Church of the
Savior on the Spilled Blood, is the city's most convenient and extensive gift bazaar.
