Stop At: The State Hermitage Museum, Palace Square, 2, St. Petersburg 191055 Russia

This tour will begin in the lobby of your hotel, from where your private guide will take you to the Hermitage Museum by car (taxi). As you begin this guided tour of the museum’s general collections, you will be greeted into the Palace by the Jordan Staircase, a dazzling display of golden stuccowork and glimmering marble statues. There’ll be time to linger in the elegant Throne Room where tsars gave audience; the vast Pavilion Hall with its gilded columns and glittering chandeliers; and the Gallery of 1812, lined with 332 portraits of generals who led troops in the war that defeated Napoleon. You will also see priceless paintings from the 13th through 18th centuries by greatest Italian, Spanish, French and Dutch painters.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: State Russian Museum, Inzhenernaya St., 4 Metro: Gostiny Dvor, Nevskiy Prospekt, St. Petersburg 191011 Russia

Walk from the Hermitage to State Russian Museum. When inside, marvel at the largest collection of Russian art in the world—approximately 400,000 pieces—on this art lover’s tour. This vast repository is housed in the Mikhailovsky Palace, once the residence of Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich. Though its galleries include sculpture, drawings and objets d’art, the Russian Museum is most widely known for its masterful paintings of Russian icons, portraits and landscapes.
