When you come to St. Petersburg by 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 the sale is typical for a typical duty-free outlet and could be a good set for a museum of 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. You can rent a car in St. Petersburg, including a car with a driver, via the GetTransfer.com with their affordable prices and online calculation.
