From USD $55.00
  • Duration: 3 Hours (approx.)
  • Location: St. Petersburg

Pay a visit to Hermitage, the treasure trove of Europe

Situated, in the Winter Palace, once the Romanov’s main residence, the main branch of the Hermitage Museum is one of Europe’s most engrossing touring experience and St. Petersburg main landmark.

Go on a 3-hour tour of the Hermitage without having to wait in the queue and a free photo permit.

This private tour of the Hermitage allows you to see one of the world’s most extensive art selections, Rembrandt's, Michelangelo's and DaVinci's including, and to take in the Winter Palace’s most famous sites and its lavish interiors.

You will see famous halls, for example, the Throne Hall, where the Russian Parliament’s first gathering before tsar took place and whose interior is fully preserved; or the Pavilion Hall, inspired by the Oriental exoticism, and featuring the world-famous clock in the shape of a peacock. Moreover, you will get much aesthetic pleasure strolling through the museum’s opulence-exuding galleries, such as the one devoted to the war with Napoleon, where portraits of prominent Russian military figures are exhibited; and other nonpareil pieces of architecture and interior.

Also on the program is a visit to the beauteous Jordan Staircase, unrivaled pieces of furniture, a mind-boggling host of various domestic objects and decorations, and the Tsars’ chambers in their original condition.
