As the director of the Hermitage once put it “I can not say that the Hermitage is a number one museum in the world but I know that it is certainly not number two.” And with over 3 million works of art exhibited in five connecting palaces the museum can’t fail to impress. If works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Rembrandt or Leonardo da Vinci don’t make you gasp then the interiors of the Winter Palace will.The five buildings that make up the museum include the opulent Winter palace, which was built by Peter the Great’s daughter (Elizabeth) and has undergone major.renovations that have left it sparkling. Walk up an imposing baroque marble staircase and marvel at all the gold leaf, and check out the several heavily decorated rooms including a throne room. It can take a complete day to see the highlights, but investigating every corner in each of the five linked buildings could take years. 14:00 Hrs lunch at the Indian restaurant & Free time for shopping and leisure
