Experiencia fantástica: #2 Thé Hermitage Museum This is the worlds largest museum, it’s the size of 186 Football ground it is so big. Even if we spend entier day we will not be able to cover this place, we reached here post lunch around 4 and explored this place till it was shut, our tour guide explained and shared knowledge about the each place & things which was there painting , Weapons , each rooms & etc.. never ever have I spent so much time in the museum, however enjoyed thuru out.

Experiencia fantástica: An amazing experience in one of the best museums in the world. This property was the home of the tsars until 1917. Full of artwork it should be visited at least once in a lifetim

Experiencia positiva: Normally I'd rate this outstanding museum 5+ stars, but having no English option on a paid guided tour is unacceptable. The second largest museum in the world, set in one of world's most beautiful palaces is a must on every traveler list. The collection is incredible - spread in several adjoining buildings beside the splendid Winter Palace, and at the General Staff bldg as well. World history art biggest names are here. Covid rules - TIPS: - BUY your tickets ONLINE - due to Covid the volume of daily admittance is limited and I am not sure if they sell tickets at the counter at all !! - Tickets are on a time slot basis with 15 min tolerance. - You have TWO fixed routes to choose from - you can NOT combine them, nor you can take the other when you finish the first (unless you have purchased both tours with different timings), - You can buy the guided Diamond room or guided Gold room (neither of them you can visit alone). They last 1 hour after you're left alone to walk yourself one of the routes. Tickets are almost double the fixed route, but still much cheaper than in Europe (around 15$) for such a museum, - I chose the Diamond room tour and after 20 min was very bored and after 40 min I left the tour. The guide spoke only Russian (there was NOT an option online for English tour, so I thought it'd be bilingual), which is quite unacceptable for such a world class museum and therefore I deduct one star

Experiencia fantástica: You have to take a few days to see everything on the Museum, it is huge! It is not by chance that the people took power in the past, the palace is huge and very incredible, with a wealth of details. I strongly recommend the visitation, just includ in your tourists plans and go!

Experiencia fantástica: One of the largest museums in the world, if not the largest one. There are collections from all over the world from ancient times to modern. It takes at least 3-4 hours just to finish the ground floor to the full, even if you skip some of the exhibition rooms just taking a quick glance. It's worth coming to St. Petersburg just to visit here. Magnificent!

Experiencia fantástica: We visited the Hermitage just because it is one of the most known places in the world. It is truly grandiose, though. The exhibition is marvelous and everything is organized. It is very hard to find parking there, and we had to drive around for a long time to finally snatch a spot, so make sure to arrive earlier before your time to go in. Buying tickets online was super easy and the website in general is very website user-friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: State Heritage Museum is the second largest Museum in the word. But I think this is not popular by It's size. If the you enter the Museum you wouldn’t believe your eyes, how they made this. You find lots of amazing works.

Experiencia fantástica: Omg!!! Hermitage! I’ve heard so many times about this beautiful museum and finally I’m here!) Enjoyed the place, bought few replicas for my friends. Highly recommend to visit. It would take about 3-4 hours for a quick visit, unless you love to spend more time in a museum.

Experiencia fantástica: 5 Stars is not enough for this museum. I wouldn't even call this a museum to be honest, it's so much more. The place was breathtaking! A full day here was not enough, must visit again! P.s. any gift shopping, buy here, quality is excellent and there's a very big choic

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful! Many beautiful artworks and sculptures. You'll get to see various art movements and artworks from reknown painters and sculptors. Also the personal connection of Catherine the Great. The palace is a must go to place in St. Petersburg. You'll not be able to complete everything in a day. You'll need 9 years to complete the collection.

Experiencia fantástica: A world class museum that contains a huge collection of eastern western arts. It is located in the Winter palace, the former residence of the Romanov Family. The ticket price is quite reasonable given the wonderful experience. Make sure to specify at least 4-5 hours for your visit. It is also recommended that you buy the ticket online in advance to avoid the long queues. Another option is to show up as early as 10:00 at the time the gates are open so you can secure a smooth entry. Unfortunately, the dining options are not that great. There are two cafes accessible through the Jordan stairs.

Experiencia fantástica: Ok! This place is an absolutely stunning palace and the art collection gathered here is very impressive. This is an absolute must on your trip to Saint Petersbourg. If you’re not interested in art, at least go and see the palace itself. It gives you an idea of the impressive and luxurious life the Russian nobles used to live back in the time it was an Empire.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing museum, best to go early in the morning or have a guide so that you can skip most of the queue. Beautifully restored and maintained. Watch out for pick pockets. Like my guide says, “you back pocket does not belong to you”. So watch out. Must visit if you go to Saint Petersburg.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing museum. You can purchase the ticket using the machines before you enter the building on the left or right hand side, after the gate. Cards are accepted or cash. You must leave your coat also at before entering and any water. It is not allowed inside. Go early. It was the busiest place to visit even if we went a Thursday morning. Superb paintings. Splendid building. Total worth the money. I spent only 2h there and could not see half of it.

Experiencia fantástica: An incredible museum where you can easily spend 2 full days. We were told that Wednesday after 4PM is the best time to arrive as it gets EXTREMELY busy. Many of the doorways are quite narrow and large tour groups come through at the same time making parts of the museum difficult to navigate. Still it is beautiful and well worth the visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Best museum with huge collections. One of the most lovely place to know the history. Must visit place in Russia. It is definitely place to visit in Russia. Our group spent around 2.5 hours here but still more time was required as it is very big one with amazing collections.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing. So much to see from different centuries, geographies and styles. The amount of paintings and artefacts are unreal. They have ticket machines outside which don’t have queues so use those if you don’t want to queue (and are cheaper than online tickets). The ticket also gives you entrance to two other buildings. Great value for money.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great place! Take your ticket through the net, cause it's a separat entry with less people waiting to enter. Take your time to visit all! You'll be have to spend 2 or 3 days at least. Take a map and translator machine whether you don't have a guide. Take the ticket into the inner yard and go to the opposite entry it is much faster. Enjoy.! Russia is big and great!

Experiencia fantástica: You can definitely feel that it is 2. largest museum in Europe. If you want to see all rooms properly you will have to reserve 3-4 full days. You have to definitely visit this place.

Experiencia fantástica: It is huge and you take into consideration that you will need a lot of time if you want to check out all three floors. The rooms itself are an exhibition, but with the objects the place is just amazing. There isn't just Russian art and history, but also from other parts of the world.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the most magnificent museum in the world. Holding the largest artefacts dated back till BC era. They have different historical stuff from many different generations and aboriginals. You can purchase the ticket by queuing but the faster way is to buy from the electronic automated machine and you will be entering from a different building than the manual purchasing ticket. I recommend you to buy from the automated machine. The museum shows a lot of Peter the great and Catherine the great when they were in rule. The museum is so big it may take roughly 4 hours to see the whole thing. There are voice guide that you can rent at the counter. Do note that the staff do not speak very good english but basic English that is understandable. There are many staff sitting in each museum hall to oversee the artefacts. They can help you if you need help. Do remember to take the map upon entering, each hall or artefacts have a number at the top so you can correspond where you are. Do visit this place if you are here.

Experiencia fantástica: The Hermitage is a beautiful museum you can spend a full day here walking around the rooms. When buying tickets must bring identification if you're doing the student price. If your a student the access is free. This applies to international students as well. The museum has a cafe, and the prices are reasonable. I suggest arriving early before opening so that it's not crowded.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the biggest and best museum that I see till now. Great and magnificent and always full of visitors and tourists. Some windows have a beautiful view of sea and port and there is full of galleries of old and unique and artistic things from history of Russia and all the world.

Experiencia fantástica: Huge, enormous and fabulous palace where is located the very famous museum. Wow, colors and style are amazing! Large art collections, make sure to visit it on low season or low days because it could be incredibly crowded. Museum staff is not so nice :( >>> Be sure to buy a ticket where you can visit the "General Staff Building" art exhibitions, they have the most amazing impressionism art collection i have ever saw!

Experiencia fantástica: This palace in itself is definitely wonderful. The main room let you stunned. The collections are many and quite rich and various. It's absolutely huge and definitely crowded. Don't buy the ticket inside the Museum. It will take ages. Buy the ticket on-line or outside with the automatic tickets machines, there you can use either cash or card but you can only buy the 700p ticket. No other tickets options. Get ready to be around for 4 hours. I suggest you to take the audioguide and to follow the map visiting all red pointed rooms. Are the most beautiful. Bring your own earphones for the audioguide. It cost 500p extra. Enjoy the amazing Winter Palace. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: This is one of those life experiences that is a must. Next to the Louvre this is the best museum I've ever been too. The amount of artwork is overwhelming and you could spend days enjoying the works. However, it is extremely crowded and I would recommend getting there before opening to see the museum without too many people.

Experiencia fantástica: Second largest museum of the world made by the Catherine, former it was used as Winter Palace. Huge numbers of sculptures and famous paintings and many more things you can see collected from different parts of the world. It will take full day to see every things.

Experiencia fantástica: Get ready to get lost in a maze of architectural brilliance lined with masterpiece after masterpiece. I found the best approach was to pick a route on the free map that would take me to the highlights and then stop at anything that captured my attention on the way. This place is way too large to try and see it all and unless you are a serious art aficionado you don't need to. Just soak up the experience and marvel in wonder at the serious collection before you

Experiencia fantástica: The Hermitage was just excellent. A lot of historical artwork like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt. It is huge. The whole building as such is really worth seeing as well. Plan well if you are going there for a short visit. You can spend weeks in there. A world heritage. A must see.

Experiencia fantástica: When people say there’s no place in the world like the Hermitage, it’s not an exaggeration. This collection and museum alone justifies a trip to St Petersburg. The winter palace is huge and all the palaces could take a full day to explore. It’s worth setting aside a decent chunk of time to visit and there will likely be queues to get in (the electronic ticket machines were not working when we visited) and you will have to check your coat upon entry. There are countless rooms to explore and it’s very easy to get lost but wherever you find yourself in this museum, you will be amazed. From absolute Da Vinci masterpieces to ceiling frescos and Egyptian sculptures, this collection has everything you would need.

Experiencia fantástica: So much to see. Can't do it justice in one visit. The Palace rooms and remainder of the 2nd floor are the real gems, especially some of the galleries (walkways). Tickets from machine inside cortyard at 700 roubles were easy to purchase. Great day out.

Experiencia fantástica: If you want the chance to see some of the rooms empty - make sure to book the early access tours! The rooms are simply stunning but get crowded very quickly at the normal open time.

Experiencia fantástica: OK I heard about this museum for many years back in the United States. But visiting this museum blew me away! This is the largest place where someone can go and see Art today in the world. I believe there’s 11 million pieces of art in this museum! Where do you start? As I walked in and buy tickets on a hot day a gentleman came up and asked if I wanted it to work? I said yes. The tour guide was amazing she is a teacher in Russia, and taught me not to worry about the art but the culture and deep history of Russia. To be able to stand next to a Rembrandt where you could touch it, but I did it, and I would never do that. Is an amazing experience. To see the fine detail in the flooring to the ceiling to the windows to all the artwork that is in this building is way too much for someone to take in in one day. If you had love, please spend at least 2 to 3 days looking at this art. Also, this museum is in a perfect location, right on the water. I will definitely be back again, And spend more time to see at least another 300 pieces of art. If I’m a Russian, I’d be very proud of this museum! I’ll definitely be back

Experiencia fantástica: Don't think there's anything I can say that the other reviewers haven't already said - it's something you simply have to see if you're in St Petersburg. The building itself is stunning, going in and seeing the grand entrances, the opulent rooms is worth the entry fee alone. There's so much to see in this museum, it will take you at least half a day and that won't even scratch the surface.

Experiencia fantástica: I can honestly say that this is the most impressive museum I have ever been to in my life. The sheer quantity and quality of the original works of art and royal trappings is absolutely mind boggling. If you spent just 30 seconds in front of each piece it would take 8 years to see everything. If you are ever in St Petersburg you have to go here. Definitely gonna try go there when I'm older and spend a few days wandering the over 1000 rooms.

Experiencia fantástica: I spend 8hours in this museum to see just for the interiors and artworks. Also, I almost saw all the things that audio guide could supports. This place is totally worth to visit. Though some of the group tour people were disturbing, but generally awesome.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely gorgeous!! A real eye-opener!! I was lucky to visit the State Hermitage Museum at the end of May 2017. The museum closed every Monday, but they opened the door just for our two tours from our NCL Cruise ship. The museum was so huge that we walked three hours and went through part of it. There are six museum buildings for a total collection of three million priceless art and painting collections, but the museum opened just one building to the public. It must be on your bucket list, a "Must-Go" wish list item!! I am thankful for having a chance to visit the museum. Thanks God!!! From Toronto, Canada.

Experiencia fantástica: Fabulous but better in winter with no crowds. Nicholas II's library was a real treat. The Jordan staircase is spectacular without tourists shouting and pushing. I've experienced May and February and if you are brave enough to go in cold weather it is well worth it. Also the snow makes the whole city look even more amazing

Experiencia fantástica: Please dedicate at least a day to the Museum, you will not regret it. There are no words to describe the Architecture and Exhibitions, it will be the most grand and opulent place you will see across the globe. No exceptions!

Experiencia fantástica: It can easily take you a full day to go through the entire museum. The sheer grandeur and uniqueness in which each room has been designed is worth seeing. Use a map to navigate within the museum, without which you could easily be going around in a loop. The queue for tickets is really long, you might want to get there by 10 in the morning to beat the rush.

Experiencia fantástica: One day is not enough to enjoy and truly appreciate the beauty, historical and economical value of this place. Most impressed by the diamond and gold room, where pictures and cameras are not allowed, thankfully books are available for purchase within Hermitage. The collection is unbelievable and very rich.

Experiencia fantástica: What an amazing place. Truth be told I was over consumed by all the art. Almost too much to take in. After 3 hours I still wasn't done. I've never seen so much Van Gogh in one place. Also a lot of Imperial artifacts live here. Life was good for a king in the 1700s.

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely remember to order your tickets online. The entrance for internet vouchers is at the side of the Winter Palace. Do not think the two-days ticket is worth it unless you are staying in St. Petersburg for more than 4 days (there are too many other beautiful places to go). Get the one day ticket then go on a Friday as the museum opens until 9pm. A stunning set of collection and the museum unlike many other tourist places in Russia is equipped with a lot of toilets as well as seating area so that elders could have a rest when they are tired. Remember to read the panels that explains about the history of the museum itself as it allows you to appreciate how these art pieces sustained over the years.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing museum, from art to architecture to artifacts to clothes. Just everything in this place is over the top and very well maintained and displayed. Just keep a big chunk of time for the Hermitage, it does take some time to get through it all.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent. One of the best museums in the world. Lots of things to visit. A very wise decision is buying a 2 days visit online ticket. One day is not enough for this museum. Another tip (If you don't have e-tickets) is looking for e-tickets entrance. You will find 2 ticket machine near the entrance buy your tickets there and go in. Escape from lines for tickets. Go as early as you can cause there is no crowd in early morning. If you have planned for 1 day and you need to see any special item , ask for its address. In a shell, antiques are in the 1st floor and paintings and artworks are in above floors. But for visiting all the antiques in the 1st floor you must go upstairs in the middle of the first floor and after a lot of rooms in the second floor go back downstairs to 1st floor again.

Experiencia fantástica: We have had the good fortune to travel a lot. But i have never seen anything like this place. Take 3 amazing palaces combine it with 6 world famous museums and add the artwork from the Vatican, put it in a building half a mile square, and this is what you would have. Absolutely incredible. Art work was all famous names I remember from school. Sculptures, historical artifact from Greece and Egypt that rival any museum in those countries. People waited in line for hours in the rain to get in. WOW. Would take days to see it all.
