It’s as important to have beef stroganoff as it is to see the Hermitage! haha!!! We asked our tour guide to take us to a restaurant to have beef stroganoff and she took us here
They were grilling lamb which gave the place a yummy smell 🙂
We had a late lunch so we were so hungry! 
Grilled chicken which I heard was very good 
BEEF STROGANOFF!
Hermitage Museum @hermitage_museum Hermitage means “A place of solitude” It started with Catherine the Great’s personal collection and now it includes the collection of the Russian tsars which were confiscated from their homes during communism. One of the largest collections in the world. There are 3 million pieces. If you viewed each piece for 1 minute 8 hours a day – it would take you 11 years to see all 3 million pieces. #hermitagemuseum #Russia #stpetersburg#Regent25 #regentsevenseasexplorer#h2hssexplorer2017 #h2hart

Coastal road past Embassy Park The Senate Square and its surroundings form a unique and cohesive example of Neoclassical architecture. The square is dominated by four buildings designed by Carl Ludvig Engel (1778-1840): Helsinki Cathedral, the Government Palace, the main building of the University of Helsinki and the National Library of Finland. A statue of Alexander II (1894) stands in the middle of the Senate Square. Helsinki Cathedral is arguably Finland’s most famous and photographed building; it celebrates its 165th anniversary in 2017. The oldest stone building in Helsinki is the Sederholm House located on the southeast corner of the square. Today the building hosts the Helsinki City Museum. The Esplanade park and the Market Square are just a block away.
