What To Expect

If you consider yourself an art connoisseur and would like to delve deeper into the history of masterpieces of world art, as well as learn about the fate of artists and unravel the symbolism of the most valuable paintings of the Hermitage, then this route is for you!

The route begins with a visit to the state rooms of the Winter Palace, where you will see the grandiose Great Throne Hall, walk through the Gallery of 1812 and see the famous Peacock Clock. Then you will explore the halls of Italian art, find out how the Florentine school of painting differs from the Venetian one, consider lesser-known works of art that are often undeservedly overlooked when visiting a museum.

On the tour, you will also see the masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian, Rembrandt and many other world famous masters. You will find out details about the life of the artists, where they got their inspiration from and who served as models in the creation of world masterpieces.

Get ready to fully immerse yourself in the world of art and painting. The tour is designed for 3-3.5 hours, but you will definitely want to stay in the Hermitage longer to enjoy the beauty of its interiors and unique exhibits.
