Went to the Hermitage about 8 or 9 years ago, very big and very busy, quieter now I should imagine. Catherine's Palace was more impressive.

Let's hope the Fins don't flatten it if Putin kicks off when they join NATO.

I went there when it was during the Soviet Union period, someone said you need two days, I disagree, it would probably take you a week to take it all in

Went there in about 1991, fascinating and beautiful city.
Completely by coincidence, I was there on the day it changed its name from Leningrad back to St Petersburg (not universally popular at the time as there were a couple of small demos against that) which was also the 50th anniversary of the start of the siege in WW2.

Yeah, and as said, it’s enormous. Even if you had enough time to see everything, you’d never have the mental energy to take it all in.
Trivia point: though you could say the revolution started there, in the old classic Russian movie, it shows the famous moment when The People climbed over the main gate to get in, in reality it was another gate about 30m along, which doesn’t look as glamourous, but you know how film makers are.

According to Google, it's building date is 1764, which is a decade before the Louvre was completed.
Odd that as they didn't really even know what a palace was if it weren't for the French.
