Located in the historical ensemble of Nevsky Prospect—and moreover the epicenter of St. Petersburg itself— Passage embodies the pinnacle of high-end shopping gallery experience. The property’s recent renovation has not only kept intact, but also amplified its transitory historical atmosphere and architecture that puts the city center on beautiful display for visitors. Passage has earned its class A building status for preserving and accentuating its historical exterior with the reinforcement of its modern interior structure though a contemporary engineering system.
