Two day tour of Saint Petersburg with all the cathedrals and Hermitage museum | St. Petersburg | Russia

On the 1st day we are going visit the Hermitage and walk around the surrounding area to see all comlex from outside. After a short lunch break that we visit some of famous St Petersburg cathedrals. In the Hermitage the tour usually starts from main staircase and state rooms of the Winter Palace and follow the route of the Zar’s ceremonial procession toward the church. So you can compare changes of style from original baroque, typical to Empress Elisabeth’s court architect Rastrelli, to classical which was Catherine’s favorite style. Along the route I’ll tell you about every highlight of the collection including history of its creation, acquisition and authentication. We’ll see the Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish, British and French sections and you’ll learn about socio-economic progress of each country in conjunction with the development of its art. Along this route we talk about the history of rooms and their former royal owners. On the 2nd day I’d like to show you the city.
