Visiting the WINTER PALACE (Hermitage Museum) with my Sister, Saint Petersburg, Russia

In this video, my sister (visiting Russia for the first time!) and I explore the Winter Palace, home to the world-renowned Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The Hermitage Museum is one of the largest and oldest museums in the world, boasting a collection of over three million works of art. It’s not just a museum – it’s a symbol of Russia's rich cultural history. Housed in the Winter Palace, the former residence of Russian emperors, the museum has turned St. Petersburg into a global cultural hub. Dating back to the 18th century, the Winter Palace was commissioned by Peter the Great as part of his vision to build a grand new capital on the banks of the Neva River. Today, it stands as a magnificent architectural marvel and an iconic historical landmark. Join us as we take you on a tour of this extraordinary Russian landmark, diving deep into its royal history and stunning artworks. ————— If you like my videos, don’t forget to Like 👍🏼 Comment 💬 and Subscribe 🔔 for more travel vlogs, cultural experiences, and historical adventures around the world!
