In a portable - because the culture and history of Russia and the whole world is reflected here, this is a real book, or rather, a whole collection of works, but instead of a dry description of the beautiful masterpieces you can see them in the middle, it is a pity that it is impossible to touch.
The museum began in 1764 as a collection of paintings by Empress Ekaterina II Great, which spent solid amounts for the purchase of bells of brilliant European artists. Most paintings hung in the halls of the famous Winter Palace (the favorite residence of Russian emperors), which then got the name "Hermitage" (in French, it means a "secluded place, shelter").

In Altai, since ancient times, original tribes and peoples live, something similar to the Indians: they worship the gods in animal images and practice pagan rituals.
For the first day, you can adhere to the maximum extended by the excursion program, and for the second day of rest in St. Petersburg, think over another format. An interesting option is an excursion to the palace complexes in the suburb of St. Petersburg, for example, to Peterhof (Grand Palace), Pushkin (Ekaterininsky, Alexandrovsky Palaces, Lyceum Pushkin) or Pavlovsk (Pavlovsky Palace).
The second popular format is a "museum day" with a review of several treasury museums of the capital.

The best completion of the evening (any of the days) is a campaign on a performance or musical performance into one of the Petersburg theaters.
What to see in St. Petersburg for 3 days
The three-day recreation program in St. Petersburg also suggests the choice of priority routes, since even for this period (and a week) it is impossible to cover all the main attractions of the city and the nearest suburban palace complexes.
With good weather, one of the days can almost be devoted to rest on the Cross Island - in the Amusement Park "Divo Island". On cloudy days it is not difficult to find alternatives in covered complexes - such as Maza Park or large water parks.
Another destination is to open Petersburg on their own: to visit the museum-apartments of your favorite writers, take a picture of the monuments dedicated to them or even walk along the Raspalnikov route. Other unusual places can be chosen on your taste: Mark on the map of the sculpture of Lviv, extraordinary architectural facilities, miniature park, routes along the embankments.
