The garden of the Winter Palace

Really amazing!

Lively park next to the Hermitage. There are souvenir and food stalls and sometimes some fringe entertainment. Tip: buy some bread in one of the food stalls and sit on a bench with the bread in your hand. A few moments later the birds and pigeons come to eat from your hand.

How beautiful it is here in summer, everything is in flowers, an oasis in the city center

A wonderful museum, an endless collection, but in the conditions of quarantine, the organization of routes is very unconvincing. Most simply cannot figure out where to turn to get on the chosen path.

Great architecture, amazing place. One of the first places to visit. It is already used in conjunction with the museum inside the ermitage museum. You should prefer morning hours as the visiting time. It gets very crowded in the afternoon and you don't understand when you travel. At least 1 day must be reserved for this venue. Petersburg Winter Palace is the work of Carlo Rastrelli, the son of architect Bartalomeo Rastrelli, whom Petro invited to Petersburg in his own time. Petro's daughter Elizaveta Petrovna became one of the important architects of Carlo Rastrelli Petersburg in the reign. The palace was built close to Petro's Winter Palace in 1754 by order of Czar Elizaveta and was ready in 1762.
