30 minutes walk
The city's main museum will appeal to art lovers, both classical and contemporary. And finally, it's also home to the Winter Palace—an architectural masterpiece of imperial St. Petersburg.
What must be done:
Go to an exhibition. Any exhibition.
Near:
Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, Mikhailovsky Garden, Palace Bridge, and the Bronze Horseman sculpture
Fun fact:
The museum's collection contains over three million items. If you spent even a minute examining each one, it would take 13 years. Even just walking through all the halls, without stopping at the display cases, would take nearly five hours. And that's only the collection accessible to visitors, not counting the seemingly endless storage.
