Unique Grand Duke Vladimir Palace is known to be a part of the cultural heritage of Russia. Grand Duke Vladimir Palace in St. Petersburg retains a rich history connected with many famous names of Russian government officials. The first person is Grand Duke of Russia – Vladimir Alexandrovich. The building of the Palace is designed in the original and fashionable at that time style – eclectic.
The palace is not a museum and you will have to inquire when they have guided tours (you can only visit the palace with a guide). It has a big advantage because it is never crowded unlike in other famous museums in St.Petersburg. The interiors are very impressive even after so many years when the palace was last lived in. The stories about the owners of the palace and their descendants living now bring history to life. I definitely recommend to visit the place if you have a chance

The Winter Palace is an extensive building with a number of wings and inner courtyards/gardens. It is quite beautifully designed and the stairways and rooms are extraordinary. The Winter Palace is in Palace Square (the green building) and is currently the main building of The State Hermitage Museum, and houses statues, treasures and paintings, as well as thrones and chandeliers. Highly recommended to view from the outside, and worth a visit for the extensive Hermitage museum collection.
