      Liteyny in the rain: books, dinner and cocktails

      ⏱ 3 h 30 min🚶 600 m🍽 3📍 4 stops
      🐢 A little — under 3 km

      A short evening on one block of Liteyny: an old bookshop, an inexpensive dinner and two bars people visit for nastoyki (fruit liqueurs) and DJs. Between stops — a couple of minutes under an umbrella.

        ✨ Podpisnye Izdaniya Bookshop
        Литейный пр., 57
        Liteyny's legendary bookshop (open since 1926): a big hall of serious fiction, poetry and Petersburg editions, with the Podpisnye Bulochki bakery in the same building.
        From Mayakovskaya metro 7 minutes along Nevsky and Liteyny. Come before 21:00: the shop is open until 22:00, and you won't leave here quickly.
