Beautiful. I went in February in the snow and again in May just before Victory Day. So gorgeous both times. The Hermitage and the square are breathtaking. Pictures from 120 years ago show the Hermitage with a different colour scheme which was more of a brown colour

Culmination of glory and power of 18th century czars era of Russia. All palaces around the square are visually magnificent and serve as museums nowadays. The square itself is large and home for several big gatherings. Also often street artists have their shows here or nearby. Tourists are also entertained here in many ways, like horse rides or photographs with empirical history person.

Long time ago I spent years in St Petersburg as a student. There is very sharp contrast between the magnificent historic parts and run down living quarters of St. Petersburg. Still I like very much the vivid atmosphere of this place an I was happy to return. The Winter Palace hosts Hermitage, one of the most amazing fine arts museums of the world.

Best feeling for me was standing here and looking at the amazing attractions , architecture and design of this beautiful state measuem and hermitage palace with the fireworks on the sky 🥂❤️🇷🇺 Met so many amazing lovely russian friends and family here with joy of smile and best hospitality in Russia . Thank so much guys . Can't wait to visit again in Moscow and st Petersburg . Love you Russia ♥️

It is an amazing plaza known for its gigantic and beautiful buildings. Its the power centre of Saint Petersburg and one should definitely visit this place when visiting the city. Its also the biggest and one of the most beautiful museums of the world. I enjoyed my day in the city a lot.

During the day the Palace Square gets very busy with tourists, especially on weekends. In the evening the ambiance is totally different. Street artists come out and busk. Gorgeous setting.

Very beautiful place

Too good .... A beautiful city.....

Fantastic place. Place Smell like history.

On my first day in Saint Petersburg, I was just rambling around Nevsky avenue and walked about 1.5 km to the place square without realizing that it is popular landmark. For a moment, it felt it is a touristy spot, so checked on google and it happened to be Palace Square right opposite to the State Hermitage Museum. I was stunned to see the massiveness of the whole square. You will find a lot of street musicians out there. Please do not forget to capture panorama shots of the square. It is worth watching.

Very beautiful place. The largest square at Saint Petersburg. I have visited the place both day time and evening. It looks more beautiful in the evening. Lovely architectural design. At evening shooting was going on . Must visit place at Saint Petersburg.

Very nice place to site seeing, everything is nearby and very calm place.

Most important place in st.petersburg. very big space with attractive building view. Center city with most of the music and culture events will happen here. Specially end of may city birthday party .

Palace square is a massive square at the entrance to the Hermitage. It has a large open area where there are carriage rides and people playing music and a lot of tourists. We loved spending some time here after visiting the Hermitage. It has multiple entrances and easily accessible to public transport and yandex alike.

Great square- good as any where in the world

Must visit in the night time, sit there, take in the breeze and attend live musical shows. Loved this place!
