General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / basic English grammar/use of prepositions
English term or phrase: across/around/in
Not only will you be able to see all those products during your journey across/around/in the Mining Pharmacy, but you will also be offered to taste and buy them in our shop. And you are welcome to our old-style restaurant where you can feast on the best selection of the unique Siberian cuisine.

Please advise what preposition would be best (or more correct) to use here?
Thank you.
P.S.The Mining Pharmacy is an old pharmacy now turned into a museum.

Selected answer:as you tour / visit the...
Explanation:
It would be much more natural not to use a preopositon at all, but to word it soemthing like this.
Or you could say 'as you go round the'.

Note that we would NEVER say 'journey' like this, which implies a much longer travel, poissibly using several modes of transport!

agree  writeaway: yes, that's how to swing it into English.

  -> Thank you writeaway :-)
neutral  Tony M: I think the notion of 'during' / 'while' really works better here, rather than 'on the occasion of' / 'at the time of'.
