The State Hermitage Museum is one of the largest museums in the world, with 3 million works of art (not all on display at once), and one of the oldest art galleries and museums of human history and culture in the world. The vast Hermitage collections are displayed in six buildings, the main one being the Winter Palace which used to be the official residence of the Russian Tsars.
Hermitage is 8 minutes away from hotel “ Solo Gorohovaya”. Mini-hotel “B&B Admiralteyskaya” and hostel “B&B Morskaya” are located in the heart of St. Petersburg, just 9 minutes of walking from the Winter Palace. These hotels are in the very center of St. Petersburg.
