When you come to St. Petersburg by an international flight, upon passing through passport control you will first meet a Dufry’s outlet, now third at the airport. The other two are in the departure zone as most duty-frees in the world are. The third recently opened enables you to stock up with premium branded goods without the need to go shopping in the city.
The store has a wide range of categories offering them in a 102m2 retail space:
confectionery;
tobacco;
wines and spirits;
travel accessories;
electronics;
perfumes and cosmetics.
The list of brands on sail is typical for a typical duty free outlet and could be a good set for a museum of the modern high-end shopping:
Bacardi;
Hennessy;
Johnnie Walker;
Macallan;
Moёt & Chandon;
Lindt;
Godiva;
Dolce & Gabbana;
Lancôme;
Chloé;
Burberry;
Versace;
Gucci;
Hugo Boss.
The store’s schedule is 24/7 «The essence of the Northern capital of Russia comes through, with white gold mosaic on the walls and ceramic marble pattern interwoven throughout the design», Dufry said in a press release.
If you happen to have a layover in here, you can easily enjoy yourself with Bacardi bought at Dufry’s at a recently opened capsule hotel at Pulkovo or one of the seven hotels located near the airport.
P.S. Private transfer is the best option in case you travel with children or friends and you have a lot of luggage. Book it online in advance and choose a car class you need. KiwiTaxi provides 11 car classes from Economy for 4 passengers to Minibus for 19 passengers. If you are traveling with children you can order a child seat or booster. The driver will meet you with the nameplate upon arrival of your flight. He will help you with the luggage and drop you off the hotel with comfort.
