* Everyone who comes to St. Petersburg is looking forward to seeing Tsarskoye Selo! The city is located 25 km from St. Petersburg, about an hour's drive away. You will drive along the old Tsarskoye Selo road and learn how you traveled in Russia before the advent of highways and railways. The magnificent and unique Catherine Palace brought special fame to Tsarskoye Selo. This is where you will visit. The Catherine Palace was founded by Catherine I, and was completed under Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine II, who called it "whipped cream" for the beauty of its facade. Now it is one of the best examples of Russian Baroque. The great hall of the palace, with an area of 850 square meters, was built without a single column, and thanks to the mirrors reflecting the windows and the aerial ceiling painting, it seemed that there were no walls or ceiling in the huge hall. The main pearl of the palace is the famous Amber Room. Its restoration took 24 years and required more than six tons of "sunstone". The palace impresses with the wealth of exterior and interior decoration, a collection of paintings and an abundance of gold, carvings and murals. After the tour of the palace, you will be able to walk around the magnificent park surrounding the palace on your own. Russian Russian Museum is decorated with exquisite pavilions, bizarrely shaped ponds and numerous monuments in honor of the victories of Russian weapons during the Russo-Turkish wars. Sightseeing stops: Lyceum Kindergarten in Tsarskoye Selo, parade ground in front of Catherine Palace, alleys of Catherine Park.
