As one of the most popular visitor attractions in Russia, and one of the world's most prestigious museums, the Hermitage is a must-see for everyone who visits St. Petersburg, Russia.
With over 3 million items in its collection, visitors can only hope to get a brief taste of the riches on offer here, from Impressionist masterpieces to fascinating Renaissance treasures. One estimate has it that you would need eleven years to view each exhibit on display for just one minute, but even if you do not love art, viewing the rooms at the Winter Palace can be rewarding for any tourist! The bulk of the Hermitage collection is housed in the Winter Palace, formerly the official residence of the Romanov Tsars, and its several annexes.
Art aficionados, however, may find it most rewarding to seek out the works that they are particularly interested in. LTD loves Renaissance and Impressionist art, and please enjoy our highlights of the Hermitage collection in this video:
Pickpockets are very common at the Hermitage and the crowds are dense making you very susceptible to theft. Please take all precautions! LTD recommends a security crossbody bag for your visit to the Hermitage!
