Perfect for spending a cold winter day indoors, immersed in art and history! The tickets can be purchased online. Need separate tickets for separate buildings though... Or a combined ticket for the whole complex. Excellent service, old ladies sitting on chairs in the corners of various halls are very helpful. Lavatories are very clean, the Hermitage Cafe is a bit pricey, which is normal. The gift shop has a wide variety of products related to the museum and the art. But you need literally 10 years to enjoy each and every one of the art pieces exhibited at the Hermitage, so wear comfortable shoes! 😁

The Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg is an unparalleled treasure trove of art and history, a must-visit for any cultural enthusiast. Spanning vast corridors and countless rooms, it's imperative to allocate a full day for this immersive experience. The sheer scale and richness of the exhibits demand time and attention to truly appreciate.

One crucial tip: ensure you're well-nourished before embarking on this artistic journey. The museum doesn't offer on-site dining options, and the extensive exploration can be quite energy-consuming.

From the opulent Winter Palace to the awe-inspiring art collections, every corner reveals a piece of human creativity and history. Don't rush through; take your time to absorb the magnificence. The Hermitage is not just a museum; it's a testament to the depth and breadth of human achievement.

Visitors seeking an unforgettable encounter with art and history should prioritize the Hermitage. Plan ahead, indulge in a hearty meal, and be prepared to be transported through centuries of human creativity and ingenuity. This museum is a true marvel, deserving of every moment you invest.

This is the very first place we visited when we were in Russia. I saw a mummy here. I remember thinking of a game to play so my son wouldn't be bored. We hunted for the works of the teenage mutant ninja turles (Michael Angelo, Rafael, Leonardo and Donatello (he's in the building across unfortunately). I was already in awe when we found the Raphael... then we saw a Leonardo. It was soooo surreal. I never imagined I'll be seeing a Leonardo in my life time. This trip was really awe inspiring. I feel so blessed having been able to visit.

We had an unprecedented experience there; stood in awe of the art works and the unique masterpieces such as Da vinci's. Dont miss the ancient Egypt, Iran and Rome halls.
