Iusupovskii Dvorets (Yusupov Palace)

Description:

• The only palace in the city whose original interior design has been preserved. The rooms are overwhelming in their luxury and exquisite design. The "red theater" is a miniature theater all in red and gold where the Yusupovs and their guests—enjoyed private performances. The cellar of the house is connected with the gruesome murder of Rasputin in 1916. The procedure for buying tickets is a bit complicated. It is good to come early, because they start to sell tickets at midday for shows/tours one hour later. There is a limited number of persons per group.
