Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 9 hours
* The tour will give you an unforgettable encounter with one of the most famous suburban imperial residences. The road that will lead you to Peterhof still carefully preserves the traces of bygone centuries. The preserved monuments and estates recreate the atmosphere of country life in Russia at the end of the XIX – beginning of the XX century. You will admire the numerous fountains and cascades of the Lower Park, which was created at the beginning of the XVIII century at the behest and handwritten sketches of Peter I in the style of French regular gardens with intricately decorated lawns, white marble and bronze gilded sculptures. The fountains of Peterhof are not just a spectacular decoration, but its soul is melodious, joyful, radiating vital energy, attaching to the immortality of beauty. And for three hundred years, enthusiastic guests have been ready to admire for hours the play of water soaring up, falling on stone bowls with a silver rain, writhing in bizarre jets, scattering myriads of sparkling splashes. A true masterpiece of fountain art is the Grand Cascade. The magnificent and exquisite Grand Peterhof Palace, built during the reign of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, rises above the Lower Park. In the past, it was the official summer ceremonial residence of the Russian emperors, where grandiose celebrations and receptions were held for distinguished guests, balls and masquerades were played. In the present, it is a museum where the ceremonial interiors of the palace are recreated, filled with objects of decorative and applied art, magnificent furniture and excellent works of sculpture and painting. During the tour you will visit one of the small palaces or museums of the Peterhof Nature Reserve, each of which has its own history. Sightseeing stops: The Drawbridge Square, the Lower Park, the Grand Cascade, the balustrade in front of the Grand Palace, the Samson fountain. What sights will you see: Peterhof The Grand Peterhof Palace The Grand Cascade The Sea Channel Fountain "Samson tearing the lion's mouth" Greenhouse Roman fountains Cascade "Chess Mountain" Firecracker Fountain "Water Road"
