Saint Petersburg

For those who dream of seeing The Nutcracker at the Mariinsky Theatre.

In winter, the northern capital attracts no fewer tourists than in summer. To avoid freezing, go for a walk around the museums. In addition to the Hermitage and the Russian Museum, you can visit the Faberge Museum and the Hermitage's Old Village restoration and storage complex. The latter contains clothing from the imperial dynasty, palace furniture and paintings. In addition, you can go on an excursion to a palace, for example, the Yusupov, Marble or Elaginoostrovsky.

To get into the New Year's mood, buy tickets for The Nutcracker at the Mariinsky Theatre, here they are several times cheaper than at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. By the way, the St. Petersburg stage was the first on which this ballet was staged.
