One of the most famous art museums in the world, this museum is housed in the Winter Palace, and contains over 2.7 million exhibits including some of the world's greatest works of art.
All it takes is a look outside the Winter Palace and you're hooked. What lovely buildings there are in St. Petersburg, and this one is enchanting. We were on a tour so saw the highlights of the museum. That's probably the best way to go, as the museum is large and can be overwhelming. Though the Hermitage is a famous art gallery, I was really there for the Winter Palace, with its gorgeous, luxurious interiors and history of Peter the Great and his family. It is truly beautiful. Be aware this place is packed with people. Arrive early in the day just before it opens.
