Electronic tickets, to avoid the trouble of queuing, it is highly recommended to open the door, the first 11 o'clock, there are few people. Go inside to see our Xixia cultural relics in Black Water City, and the cultural relics in Dunhuang. The residence of the Tsar's family can also be worth seeing.

The Winter Palace in St. Petersburg🏛 One of the main city attractions was built in 1754-1762 according to the design of the architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli commissioned by Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. From its completion in 1762 until 1904, it was served as the official residence of the House of Romanov, russian emperors. This was the fifth stone royal palace on the Neva, made in the style of magnificent Elizabethan Baroque with elements of French Rococo in the interiors.Elizabeth didn't live to see the completion of the work, and Peter III was the first to enter Winter Palace. And only Catherine the Great, the founder of the Hermitage located here, began to fully master it.The palace is also known for its historical role during the 1917 revolution. After that the palace became a museum.The palace and its precincts now house the Hermitage Museum. Today, as part of one of the world's best known museums, the palace attracts an annual 3.5 million visitors.

The best museum in St. Petersburg, the fare is still low, remember to book at least one day in advance, want to go to the three floors, no more than 4 hours is not good, if you are physically good, you can enter early in the morning, go out to the Winter Palace to eat a meal, and then go to the opposite General Staff Hospital, where it is mainly art paintings.

The highly recommended attraction tickets are only more than 40 yuan per person on Trip , and I feel that I can go shopping for a day. The scope of the tour is very large. It is recommended to rent a guide in the downstairs lobby (you will see it after you enter the ticket entrance). There is 500 rubles in Chinese and a deposit of 2000 rubles. There is a man who is very good in Chinese. You can use instructions and maps in Chinese to facilitate transfer. It’s really too big. There is a toilet on the first floor, a cafe, you can rest, you can take pictures and you can’t turn on the flash, pay attention to the sign.

The Winter Palace is very cost-effective, the fare is dozens of dollars, but the collection is rich in content, the collection is exquisite, and the value is very high.
