## Direct answers
- Can foreign visitors go to Russia right now? Many governments advise against all travel to Russia, and sanctions restrict flights and card payments. Check your own country's advice before planning.
- How big is the Hermitage? It holds around three million items across several buildings; the display galleries alone would take days to walk in full.
- Do I need to book ahead? Yes. Timed online tickets are strongly recommended to avoid the on-site queue.
- Is the Impressionist collection in the same building? No. It is in the General Staff Building across Palace Square, on a separate or combined ticket.
