Ligovsky Prospekt
In the past few years this rather shabby and run-down central St Petersburg street has
become the centre of the city's artistic and cultural underbelly and is full of bars,
clubs and galleries.
Trinity Cathedral
Fully restored after a terrible fire destroyed its huge main dome, this historic cathedral
now looks better than ever with its blue cupola covered with yellow stars. ( CLICK

Cosmonaut
Housed in a converted Soviet cinema, this excellent new music venue has hosted
some interesting live shows and arts festivals and is setting a new standard for local
concert halls. ( CLICK HERE )
Galeria & Nevsky Centre
Not to be eclipsed by consumerist Moscow, two enormous shopping centres have re-
cently opened either side of Pl Vosstaniya. Galeria ( CLICK HERE ) has a huge num-
ber of stores, while the smaller Nevksy Centre ( CLICK HERE ) has the best super-
market in the city.
