St Petersburg Shopping

  1. Lomonosova China Factory

    This famous factory has an outlet shop on site, where you get anything from the company catalogue at prices lower than those in the department stores. You'll also find a branch of the Hermitage here. From the metro, turn left (east), walk under the bridge to the embankment then turn left again - you'll see the factory ahead of you.

  2. Soldier of Fortune - Liteyny

    The extensive selection of guns and knives at this little shop is impressive, if a little frightening. Check out the knives with intricately carved handles; penknives straight out of James Bond; and machetes with names such as 'Predator Axe'. The place also carries more mundane equipment like binoculars and water bottles, as well as all manner of camouflage clothing and military souvenirs.

  3. Soldier of Fortune - Petrogradsky

    Strangely, this weaponry store seems unrelated to the store of the same name in Vosstaniya, and frankly, you have to wonder about a town that has enough demand to support two such stores. Nonetheless, here is another place that has everything a modern-day Rambo could wish for, including GPS devices, Swiss army knives and camping gizmos.
