Josh WrightAugust 23, 2015Greats views of the hermitage place/winter palace from here. If you want a picture better come in the day as the lighting is poor at nightUpvote1Downvote
StephMarch 2, 2022Once Russian people rised up in this square against the tyrannical tsar. Who rise up against war criminal Putin in these days?Upvote2Downvote- Ben BaronSeptember 9, 2014While it is relatively bare, the square is a dramatic space at the entrance to the Hermitage. Imagine military parades during the time of the Tsars.Upvote2Downvote

The highest point to watch from is close to column in the center of the squareUpvote7Downvote
Восхитительна в любое время суток и в любое время года. Летом полна туристов, роллеров, музыкантов, художников. Зимой поражает своим великолепием и пустынностью. Определенно - лучшее место в Питере!

Лидия РыбалкаApril 19, 2016Вечером в воскресенье здесь играют неизвестные музыканты! Очень достойно! Можно найти немного времени и просто оторваться от ежедневной суеты.

Diana DiJune 28, 2016Двоцовая всегда разная, шпильки по каменистой мостовой, послушать уличную простую музыку, встретить знакомых, выйти из Эрмитажа, храпящие лошади, японцы с фоаппаратами, дни и ночи, любовь.Upvote40DownvoteUpvoted Jan 2
- Nick FedotovAugust 8, 2015Всегда атмосферно. Но иногда толпы туристов, так что лучше насладиться Дворцовой Площадью вечером и желательно в белые ночи. Фотография была сделана в белые ночи

Сегодня наши бабушки и дедушки прошли в едином строю по Невскому проспекту до Дворцовой площади непокоренного Ленинграда. Спасибо вам за Победу, возможность жить, растить детей! #бессмертныйполк

Alex ZhdanovJuly 10, 2016Hi guys:) Must visit для всех гостей города. И вообще шикарное место для прогулки. Особенно хорошо летом: уже тепло, ночи светлые, да и мосты разводят. Одна романтикаUpvote6Downvote
Одна из любимых площадей в центре родного Питера! Люблю здесь быть на концертах и гулять в любое время :-)

Lugar histórico, especial y podría decir que es uno de los más importantes de la ciudad. En sus alrededores pueden degustar de un buen café, hacer una caricatura y tomar fotos para el recuerdo.
