Passage celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1998, being one of the first shopping centers of its kind. Comfortably located on Nevsky prospekt opposite the building of Bolshoy Gosiny Dvor (Большой Гостиный Двор, another upscale shopping center with a long history). Passage is considered an elite shopping center and might be a little too pricey for an average traveller, but it’s definitely worth visiting.
