Moskovsky Prospekt

Moskovsky Prospekt is a long avenue connecting central Saint Petersburg with the southern outskirts and passing through several major districts. The street is straight and wide, lined with shops, offices, and apartment buildings on both sides.

The route began in the early 1700s as an important path linking Saint Petersburg with southern regions. Over time, it became a major traffic artery and gradually took on its present-day form.

The avenue displays buildings from many different periods, ranging from classical designs to Soviet-era structures. Walking along it reveals how architectural tastes and construction methods shifted over the centuries.

The street is easily accessible by public transportation and has clear traffic lanes for different types of vehicles. Pedestrians will find sidewalks, bus stops, and several crossings to get across the street.

A small number of stone milestone markers from the 1700s remain visible at certain points along the street. These markings show the historical distances of the original route and are rare remnants from the city's early transportation history.
