Some tips:
- Check the Hermitage Museum's calendar online to make sure no special events that will crowd the establishment are taking place on your date. Exhibition rooms can also be a bit chilly to preserve the art, so bring a lightweight sweater or jacket.
- Don't try to see everything in one visit; the Hermitage Museum is huge. Instead, focus on a few galleries or sections that interest you most. You can always come back for a second date to explore more!
