* The Gatchina Palace and the adjacent park area were once the imperial residence. Paul I loved these places very much. He had a special passion for everything mysterious, adored locks, and paid a lot of attention to security. That is why his palace in Gatchina looks so much like a medieval castle, it even has a real underground passage. During the tour you will see the state halls, living rooms and, of course, visit the secret dungeon and get acquainted with the history of the palace. The palace has its own garden, the Lower and Upper Dutch Gardens, and the Lime Orchard. They travel through the huge Gatchina Landscape Park, which is second only to the park in Pavlovsk in its area (about 400 hectares). Gatchina Landscape Park is one of the most beautiful places in the suburbs of St. Petersburg. There are many water spaces here. A walk in the park is essentially a trip around a large picturesque lake, or rather around a whole system of lakes. Of the buildings in the park, the Birch House and the Venus Pavilion, the Chesma Obelisk, the Gorbaty and the Bolshoy Stone Bridges are interesting.
