  Hermitage and Yusupov Palace - two must-see visits

  The visit to the pearl of our city is a must. It is the largest museum in Russia; to see everything, you would need to spend 6 years there. I can help you organize the museum visit so that you can discover the most beautiful rooms and the most important collections in 3 hours. In the heart of the city of Saint Petersburg, on Palace Square, opposite the Winter Palace, is the General Staff Building, where you can admire one of the largest and most beautiful collections of French Impressionist paintings. Visit to the Yusupov Palace with a tour of the cellars where the assassination of Grigori Rasputin took place. If you want to discover how the richest, and one of the most famous and largest princely dynasties of the Russian Empire lived, which was much richer than the Romanov dynasty, I invite you to visit their palace located in Saint Petersburg. During our guided tour, which lasts 2h30, I will show you not only the absolutely magnificent state rooms, but also the palace cellars where Rasputin's assassination took place.

• day 4

  Visit to Catherine Palace

  If visiting the famous Amber Room is your dream, I invite you to discover Catherine Palace. It is one of the most beautiful palaces in Saint Petersburg, located 27 km from the city. It did not survive the tragic events of the Second World War, but it has since been restored. The guided tour of Paul Palace is often combined with that of another suburb, Catherine Palace, which is 7 km from Pavlovsk. During our visit, we will see the Grand Palace of Paul and take a walk in the landscaped park, either on foot, by train (in summer), or by carriage (in winter). During the combined Pushkin-Pavlovsk tour, you can discover two palaces: Catherine Palace and the Grand Palace of Paul, as well as two parks. For these visits, you should plan for a whole day.
