 | |  |  | Museums: Winter Palace of Peter the Great | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
If you have bought a separate ticket in order to visit the Winter Palace of Peter the Great, then you might come out with an unsatisfied feeling. As it is small, there is not so much to see. I believe my museum round trip lasted less then 10 minutes . . . There is the Courtyard of the Winter Palace, a throne hall with Peter the Great made of wax, and 3 small rooms, like the study, the dining room and the turnery.
As I had a combined ticket (4 museums: Hermitage, Winter Palace, General Staff building and Menshikov Palace), it did not give me a real bad feeling. Also I had just walked a big (very big) tour in the Hermitage, so it was good that this was a very small museum. Leave a Comment

Russians pay different price than foreigners do. you will have to leave amount that is about 7 times bigger. there is no way unless...you understand russian. than you can take a russian guide and happily pretend a local guy. i was in this situation myself, it was very confusing because i understand maybe one of ten russian words but of course i saved much. one more thing:if you will be in this situation don't speak in museum, even russian!!!people working there knows about smart foreigners, so they are attentive and allways listening. if they catch you talking, you will get a nice fine and to all your group will be schown the way out. If you think that you speak russian fluently, believe me, it's not true, you still have a small accent, that will be noticed. good luck!
