St. Petersburg is a city where history and modernity are intertwined at every step. And one of the places where this merger is especially noticeable is Nikolsky Rows.
The historic building of the late 18th century near the Fontanka River embankment served as an important center of commerce and culture for many years. Today, Nikolsky Rows, where the Express Sadovaya Hotel is located, continue to inspire, representing a living history accessible to every guest of the city.
Nikolsky rows were built at the end of the 18th century and were intended to house trading shops and workshops of local merchants. The architecture of the building harmoniously combines classicism and modernity, which makes it especially attractive for lovers of architectural art.
Massive columns, arches around the perimeter and decorative elements create an impression of grandeur and sophistication typical of buildings of that time.
Today, Nikolsky Rows represent a unique cultural space where the past and the present are harmoniously combined. Hotels, cafeterias and restaurants are located inside these walls. The courtyard hosts exhibitions, cultural events, concerts and theatrical productions.
This approach allows you to preserve the historical significance of the building, while opening it up to tourism.
Nikolsky Rows has become an important center of cultural life in St. Petersburg. Here you can find restaurants and bars with different concepts, visit a vintage garage sale, practice yoga outdoors, listen to a live music concert or become part of a festival.
And regular art exhibitions and workshops allow visitors not only to enjoy art, but also to learn something new.
Walking along the Nikolsky rows, you seem to be transported back several centuries. Every corner here breathes history, but at the same time leaves room for modernity.
The Fontanka River embankment itself is a monument of architecture and history of St. Petersburg. Here you can stop for a moment, look at the water and feel how the story blows.
Sadovaya Street is a convenient starting point for exploring the central districts, which connects with Voznesensky Prospekt, leading to St. Isaac's Cathedral, Gorokhovaya Street and Nevsky Prospekt.
Nikolsky Rows is a unique place, and staying in a room at the Express Sadovaya Hotel will allow you to enjoy the cultural diversity of the northern capital.
