Gostiny Dvor (Russian: Гости́ный двор) is a station on the Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya Line of the Saint Petersburg Metro. It was designed by architect C.G. Mayofis, E.S. Belyat, A.K. Andreyev, Ya.E. Moskalenko and C.P Schyukin and opened on November 3, 1967. It has two exits - one at the intersection between Griboyedov Channel and Nevsky prospect and another inside the northern side of the Gostinyi Dvor mall. The later exit has an entrance that lets the riders enter the mall directly. The station also linked to Nevsky Prospekt via a transfer corridor and a set of escalators. The station is the busiest station on the line and one of the busiest stations in the entire St. Petersburg Metro.
[edit] Local landmarks
The station is in close proximity to various noteworthy landmarks, including Church of the Savior on Blood, Kazan Cathedral and Russian Museum. As of this writing, it is the closest station to Hermitage, Saint Isaac's Cathedral, Admiralty, Summer Garden and Bronze Horseman, though construction of Admiralteyskaya station will likely change that.
