One of the best tourist attraction I've had ever visited. When i came inside the palace I've felt like a disney princess living in my own castle. I've got a picture of amber room as well 😍 I can't believe what my eyes saw that day until now it's still lingering on my mind the beauty of Catherine's Palace

Once upon a time in our lives, we should visit this 1 of the most beautiful Castles which I've Respected it's the One off. Strongly Recommended.

Visited here in Winter - it was snowing and gloomy, and way too cold to walk around the park, unfortunately. Nonetheless, the palace was extremely grand and opulent, with extremely intricate detail in the architecture. It is quite a distance away from the city centre though - if you only have a couple of days, the Hermitage has a similarly grand and beautifully embellished architecture. Though perhaps in summer time it will be nice to walk around the entire park complex!

It's a beautiful palace but still under renovation. The Amber Room is open. It took a long time to get inside. We paid for the garden entrance and then lined up in the grounds to get into the palace. Around 1 hr. Inside you have to pay again. Although it is a short visit inside, the mirror grand hall and the Amber room is worth it. Just beautiful. I appreciate the history about the renovations at the end. It's really interesting.

Absolutely fantastic building and gardens where you could spend the whole day exploring the wonders of the Palace and garden. We only had a few hours but our guide made sure we saw what was most important. The Amber Room in the Palace is amazing but there are guards everywhere and you are not allowed to take photos. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with a small lake you can walk around. A visit we will never forget.

First time been there. this place looks amazing from the outside and inside. Very luxury palace I've ever been visited. its very worth to travel all the way here. very George's architecture inside the building, with very luxury ornament also. a lot of tourist visiting here during the summer. still pretty cold even visit on summer time, they have a lot of souvenir ship around the palace too. And the tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Its very unforgettable experience I guess.

WOW what a stunning palace make sure you take the time to absorb the beauty but once inside you are rushed through each room because the line is long so set your camera on automatic and hope for the best. The grounds are beautiful and worth taking the time to enjoy.

Catherine palace was one of the former residency palaces of Empress Catherine. It is located at a beautiful park in the town of Pushkin, very close to Saint Petersburg. There are different types of tickets. Visitors can buy a ticket to enter the park or a combo ticket for both the park and the palace. Other types of tickets include tickets for tours and specific museums tickets. The park-only ticket is very cheap and has the shortest queuing line. Visitors who plan to enter the palace are advised to show up as early as possible to avoid the extremely long queuing lines. This is especially seen during weekends of tourism seasons. There are some good dining options close to the beautiful lake. There’s also a small cafe close to the entrance overlooking the palace. In addition, a few food kiosks are scattered throughout the park.

Mesmerizing, just jaw-dropping! The Amber Room is a must-see. It was pretty organised but busy because we were in a cruise group tour. We had enough time to enjoy the details of the interior decor, however, as expected, when you get to the popular rooms, it is too crowded. In most places you are allowed to take photos except the Amber Room. We were asked which is better ... Versailles in France or this. Each palace is unique, however, this wins for me.

Very beautiful palace. Excursion is included in the price of tix. Lines are very long in the afternoon but there’s no people at all after five pm. So you can get in freely. We got in line at 2pm at around 4 we were inside. Definitely worth visiting. Amber room is being exposed now. Nice and beautiful room but didn’t impress us much.

Such a nice place to visit! All the Russian palaces are increadible, they give the impression we are all so small. Even with the distance from the city, its a easy place to find, just put the directions on google and you'll easily get there, even if you dont speak russian.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent palace! The best piece of architecture of its time! The magnificent columns, arches and balconies simply cannot be duplicated. Located in beautiful parks, a must-see place when traveling to St. Petersburg. (Original) Величественный дворец! Лучшее произведение архитектуры своего времени! Велеколепные колонны, арки и оформление балконов просто не повторимо. Находится в красивейших парках, обязательное для посещения место при поездке в Санкт-Петербург.

It is really wonderful. I enjoyed the tour inside and around the Palace. Wishing back one day

It's a very nice well preserved place. Still don't understand this concentration of richness in one place when many don't have their basic needs. Stroll around and look at all the gold! Enjoy it to the MAX!

Absolutely magnificent masterpiece of highly cultural architecture you must see at least once. From our personal experience - winter will be perfect time of the year to visit and understand it. You can easily get there by train and bus. Staff is very polite, easygoing and friendly, able to answer almost any question you will get.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Palace !!! (Original) Prachtig Paleis !!!

(Translated by Google) Sumptuously. The journey through the palace takes a long time, because each room can be viewed endlessly. The personal chambers of the imperial family are very different from the golden enfilade and are therefore interesting. (Original) Великолепно. Путешествие по дворцу занимает много времени, ибо каждый зал можно бесконечно рассматривать. Личные покои императорской семьи очень отличаются от золотой анфилады и тем интересны.

I only visited the park in which I had to spend 2-3 hours to have a tour by walking. Better come here during spring or summer, but it was still enjoyable to wander about the park. The whole complex consists of many pavilions, buildings, mosque, church and the palace itself. The palace itself looks amazing from the outside. Unfortunately, it was very expensive for foreign tourists to enter into the palace but the park was free. I haven't seen such a discrimination in any attraction so far in my life. Totally unfair.

Such a striking facade and extraordinary craftsmanship! The interiors didn't disappoint either. We were all speechless! Do be prepared to queue though, and be on your feet for an extended period. It was also extremely busy! It is however absolutely worth a visit when you're in Saint Petersburg!

Amazing place with amazing pieces of art!! Love this place, this palace was the most beautiful museum that I have done in Russia. Totally in love with all those architectures.

(Translated by Google) The most luxurious palace in St. Petersburg, the summer residence of the three Russian empresses Catherine I, Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine II. The building was founded in 1717, and during the 18th century it was rebuilt several times, the interior decoration is executed in the late Baroque style and amazes with the luxury and sophistication of the interiors. The grand ballroom is especially beautiful with its walls decorated with mirrors in gilded wooden frames, and a stunning plafond on the ceiling. The palace was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War and after that it was recreated almost from the ashes in all its former splendor! Now is the time to visit it, before the borders open, the halls are not overcrowded with tourists, and you can thoughtfully consider all the details of this incredible piece of architecture and art :) (Original) Самый роскошный дворец Санкт-Петербурга, летняя резиденция трех российских императриц Екатерины I, Елизаветы Петровны и Екатерины II. Здание заложено в 1717 году, и в течение XVIII века неоднократно перестраивалось, внутреннее убранство исполнено в стиле позднего барокко и поражает роскошью и изысканностью интерьеров. Особенно красив парадный бальный зал со стенами, декорированными зеркалами в деревянных позолоченных рамах, на потолке потрясаюший плафон. Дворец был почти полностью уничтожен во время второй мировой войны и после воссоздан практически из пепла во всем своём прежнем великолепии! Сейчас самое время его посетить, пока не открылись границы, залы не переполнены туристами, и можно вдумчиво рассмотреть все детали этого невероятного произведения архитектуры и искусства:)

Although access to some areas under renovation is restricted, what is open is splendid and opulent as expected. No photographs allowed of the Amber room. Most impressed with the organisation of groups through the flow of rooms which meant that there was no crowding and noise. The photo display of the destruction during WW2 shows just how much care and attention to detail has been expended for restoration. Beautiful souvenirs in parade of shops inside. Also a small external "market" and a lovely lunch restaurant in an old converted building nearby with more shops.

It’s a beautiful palace. In there you can see the rich family’s lifestyle.

Beautiful building and well maintained exhibition rooms. Entrance to the cash desks/ cloak rooms is every 15 minutes. Descriptions are only in Russian hence i would recommend to get an audio guide. Lots of group tours (sometimes you had to queue for rooms). We took the bus to Pushkin. 186 from Kupchino Metro Station- 50 Rubels per person. Drops you off right at the palace.

(Translated by Google) The twist is utter! (Original) Круть несусветная!

The palace is marvelous, even though after a while all Russian great palaces start to look the same on the interior. The excursion path is rather short and quick, it took us only an hour without the guide. The covid restrictions are applied and followed.

(Translated by Google) An interesting open-air skating rink. It's fun and enjoyable to ride! (Original) Интересный каток под открытым небом. Весело и приятно покататься!

(Translated by Google) Everything becomes scarce in this palace. When I came 10 years ago, there was a lot to see. You start asking where everyone is, are they responding to the restorations or the coronavirus is not allowed ... When will they stop stealing from us? The originals are gone for a long time, only copies .. (Original) Все становится скудно в этом дворце. Когда я приезжала 10 лет назад, то можно было много посмотреть. Начинаешь спрашивать где все, отвечают на реставрации или коронавирус нельзя... Когда у нас воровать перестанут уже? Оригиналов там давно уже нет, одни копии..

I would the the most Enjoyable Imperial Palace of Saint Petersburg after the Winter Palace, far less crowded than Hermitage. A impressive and remarkable reconstruction work has been done after the destructionof WW2, so faithful to the original one. Marvellous golden and mirrors decorated halls. Impressive and so cared garden. Strongly recommended.

The Catherine (until 1910 Great Tsarskoye Selo) Palace is a historical and compositional center of the palace-and-park ensemble. It is a remarkable edifice in the Russian Baroque style, with richly decorated interiors including the world-famous Amber Room, which was restored by the Tercentenary of St. Petersburg in 2003

So beautiful and such a interesting story ☺️

Located in Pushkin, one hour drive from St. Petersburg. Beautiful green exterior and a lavish breathtaking interior. The amber room is a definite highlight.

(Translated by Google) In a place called "Pushkina" in honor of the great Russian poet Pushkin, also called the village of Tsarskoy-Selo, "the king's mansion" translated from Russian. Not far from Petersburg, you will find the Ekaterina Palace. On a tour of the royal estate and palace you will learn about the splendor and wealth and glittering display of the Romanov kings' family, whose kingdom was interrupted by the October 1917. Revolution.

Chequered history and elegantly decorated palace. Huge effort made to restore the palace and interiors especially the Amber Room. Would’ve given 4+ stars but for huge inconvenience I didn’t find mentioned elsewhere: - need to queue for tickets to Catherine Park first and then queue again for palace tickets - tour groups queue in the same line as tourists, audio sets are at tour 1 area and not tour 2 area, need to give up your passport for audio set (that doesn’t make sense), minimal lockers and some cloakroom elsewhere, entire entrance experience is extremely disorganised and not streamlined to handle large crowds - 2 tours available, tour 1 allows 100 people in/hour while tour 2 allows 25 people in/15 min. Tour 2 was less popular and goes in reverse chronological order but allows full view of the main points of interest in the Amber Room - students were also arguing with ticket counter for student price tickets despite showing student ID which caused more delays

We were here in 2018. Very nice palace, the amber room is fantastic! Unfortunately no photos could be taken!!

If you want to visit the palace, recommend buying tickets ahead. We went at 4:30 hoping to beat crowds, how very mistaken we were. We couldnt buy tickets into the palace because it was 'too full', we didnt understand exactly how full until we went inside the garden, and saw the entry line literally snaking from the far side of the palace right to the entrance. No chance. we left around 6, the line was just as long. Apparently 25 people were let in every 15 minutes. Dont even know if it wouldve been worth lining up for. The gardens are nice, Peterhof is better, but apparently the palace is the one to see here.... guess Ill just google image instead

By far my family's favorite palace in St. Petersburg. The palace itself houses the amazing and unforgettable amber room which is a must see. The grounds and lake around the palace are so wonderful to stroll around when the weather is nice. There are all sorts of interesting buildings that can be found on the grounds such as a small pyramid, Chinese styled building, a mosque as well as others. Don't forget to stop by the tower on the far side of the lake which is also a restaurant which has very tasty authentic Russian food. Surprisingly it is not too pricey either.

Prilly the best palace I have visited in Russia. The intricate design was astounding. Not to mention its rich culture and history.

This is a 'must see' when staying in St Petersburg. A super example of the bling associated with the Romanov dynasty. The ques are humongous so I suggest joining a small group with a quide

Отличное место для прогулок с детьми в любое время года в хорошую погоду.

Просто поразила янтарная комната - апофеоз творения человеческих рук. Также очень рекомендую посетить недавно открывшуюся после реставрации придворную церковь. Ну и простая прогулка по одному из красивейших парков Европы доставит немало удовольствия в любое время года

Рекомендую посетить самим. И получить свои впечатления!!!

(Translated by Google) Several unpleasant situations arose in one visit today. The administration very correctly apologized.

A child is asked for a certificate (Original) Сегодня за одно посещение возникло несколько неприятных ситуаций. Администрация очень корректно принесла извинения.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place to relax and walk. I advise you to come on weekdays. In this case, there are noticeably fewer visitors, you can see the palace and park without crowds and queues. Bring duck food with you. There is a free toilet on site. There are several cafes on the territory. The car can be parked in the neighboring streets, BUT pay attention to the signs! (Original) Очень хорошее место для отдыха и прогулок. Советую приезжать в будние дни. В этом случае посетителей заметно меньше, сможете посмотреть дворец и парк без тол и очередей. Возьмите с собой корм для уток. На территории есть бесплатный туалет.

(Translated by Google) Katherine's Summer Palace is located 25 km from St. Petersburg, next to the town of Pushkin. I got on the other number 286 and got off a step away from Katherine Palace. Catherine's palace is beautiful, clean and quiet, and at the same time a little sad, and its silence and majesty evoke the same authority and arrogance of the kings of the past. The entrance was 1000 rubles and the entrance to Catherine's Garden was 120 rubles. When I returned, I returned to St. Petersburg for 90 rubles and so on. (Original) قصر تابستانی کاترین در۲۵ کیلومتری سن پترزبورگ ودر کنارشهرک پوشکین قرار دارد.از خیابان نوسکی و زیر فروشگاه ومرکز خرید بزرگ وقدیمی آن با45 روبل سوار متروی خط سرمه ای شدم ودرپایان خط ودر ایستگاه کاپاچینو پیاده و درست بعد از خروج از ساختمان مترو ، با 45 روبل دیگر سوارمینی بوس شماره286 شده ودرصد قدمی قصر کاترین پیاده شدم. قصر کاترین ، زیبا، وتمیز وساکت، ودر عین حال کمی غمگنانه است ، و سکوت وابهت آن ، همان اقتدار وجبروت سلاطین و خفقان گذشته را تداعی میکند. ورودی آن1000روبل وورودی باغ کاترین 120روبل بود. موقع برگشت نیز با90 روبل وبه همان ترتیب ، به سن پترز بورگ باز گشتم.
