How many days in Saint Petersburg?

A second day lets you go beyond the very centre.

Государственный Эрмитаж · Зимний дворец · Исаакиевский собор

Three days are comfortable — enough for museums and places further out.

From the Varangians to the Greeks

An account lets you save the plan, change it and tick things off as you go.

We measured walking times to the main sights from different parts of the city. From the area below you reach them in 27 min on average, 62 min at the furthest, and 3 of them are within walking distance.

• Государственный Эрмитаж (512 m)
• Зимний дворец (710 m)
• Русский музей (793 m)
