What To Do...

The State Hermitage Museum The Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg is not only one of the oldest (if not THE oldest) museums in the world, it is also one of the best. It is located inside the Winter Palace of Empress Catherine the great and spans more than 1,500 rooms. Leonardo da Vinci, Monet, Van Gogh, but also ancient Scythian Gold and artwork from the dawn of time – this museum will quite literally take your breath away.

Catherine Palace Even a quick taxi ride through St. Petersburg will impress the sheer quantity of palaces in the city onto you. There are quite literally thousands! Perhaps the grandest of them all lies in Pushkin, some 25 kilometers outside. Catherine the Great built it to escape the many obligations at court. Russkiy Ampir Located inside the glorious baroque Stroganov Palace on Nevsky Prospekt, Russkiy Ampir could well be St. Petersburg's priciest restaurant. If you can afford

Petrusha Sustainability’s the watchword at former Noma head chef Matt Orlando’s graffitiwalled fine-diner. The menu champions seasonal ingredients sourced locally – berries, herbs and greens come straight from Amass’s delightful kitchen garden – while the kitchen’s unrelenting ‘zerowaste’ ethos helps it concoct clever dishes like chewy beetroots with walnut pulp custard and salted blackberries.

Prospekt Small coisy restaurant, if you are around come and enjoy, very friendly staff, speaks English, food is home made and very delicious, menu is quite good, containing some tipical Russian dishes

Mari Vanna Mari Vanna restaurant is all about Russian coziness. It operates in Moscow, London, Baku and New York, but the first restaurant was opened in St. Petersburg. Decent quality, cozy place, average pricing.

Peter and Paul Fortress Peter and Paul Fortress marks the very spot St. Petersburg was founded. It was here, Tsar Peter erected a small wooden hut in 1703 AD and oversaw the construction of the mighty fortress. The bell tower of the Peter and Paul Cathedral (122.5 meters) is still the highest building in St. Petersburg. Below lie the many sarcophagi of the Russian Tsars.

Fabergé Museum The Fabergé Museum opened in 2013. But despite that short history, the privately owned museum is already one of the highlights. Here you will see 9 (!!) of the fabled Imperial Easter Eggs and some 4.000 other exhibits from Farbergé and the golden age of jewelry! You will need to get tickets in advance.
