The museum itself is a masterpiece, located in the historic Winter Palace along the banks of the Neva River.

Another iconic landmark is the breathtaking Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, known for its colorful onion domes and intricate mosaics.

Must-Visit Places on a Walking Tour Saint Petersburg in Winter

Winter transforms Saint Petersburg into a magical wonderland, where the snow-dusted architecture creates a picturesque backdrop for exploration. One of the highlights during this season is the enchanting Peterhof Palace, often referred to as the "Russian Versailles." The gardens, blanketed in snow, offer a serene yet stunning landscape, and the grand fountains, though not operational, still fascinate visitors with their intricate designs. Families will enjoy the Ice Palace, where children can partake in fun activities like ice skating and sledding, making it a perfect winter outing.

Don't miss the opportunity to warm up with traditional winter delicacies. Venture into local cafés to savor patsy (Russian pastries) and a steaming cup of kva, a fermented beverage that’s popular in the colder months. As you wander through the charming streets, the festive atmosphere is palpable, especially near Nevsky Prospekt, where holiday markets pop up, offering handmade crafts and seasonal treats. The combination of history, culture, and winter festivities makes a walking tour in Saint Petersburg an unforgettable experience.
