Stepping into the Winter Palace is like walking into the pages of Russian imperial history—lavish, intense, and breathtaking. Once home to the tsars, this Baroque masterpiece in St. Petersburg now forms part of the iconic Hermitage Museum, housing over three million priceless artworks.

From the emerald-and-gold façade to the opulent interiors of the Jordan Staircase and the Throne Room, every corridor whispers stories of power, revolution, and magnificence. Whether you’re drawn by Rembrandt, Da Vinci, or just the awe of gilded ceilings and parquet floors, the Winter Palace offers a sensory feast at every turn.

Plan ahead—queues can be long, especially in summer. Book online tickets, or join a guided tour to dive deeper into its political and artistic legacy. Dress comfortably; you’ll be walking through a true labyrinth of treasures.
