Borey Art Centre
There is never a dull moment at this underground (in both senses of the word) art gallery. In the front room, you'll see some fairly mainstream stuff for sale, but the back rooms always house creative and cutting-edge exhibitions by local artists. The bookshop is one of the best in town for books on art and architecture.
-
Bukvoed
These bookshops are popping up all over St Petersburg. This is one of the smaller outlets, but it is centrally located and it carries a good selection of maps, art books, posters, calendars and postcards, as well as a smaller selection of English-language literature.
-
Dom Knigi
The stalwart of the city's bookshops is Dom Knigi, housed in the wonderful, whimsical Singer Building. For years, this was the only place in the city that carried a decent selection of literature, and it is still an inviting place to browse. On the 1st floor, you'll find lots of souvenir-type coffee-table books with colourful pictures, and - bonus - free internet access.
-
Writers' Bookshop
Specialising in foreign literature, this place is one of the few that carries titles by your favourite Lonely Planet authors. Besides top-notch travel guides, you'll also find an excellent selection of English-language literature, including English translations of Russian classics and contemporary bestsellers.
