👍 THIS IS NOT the Peter and Paul's Cathedral where the Romanov's are buried (that one is in St. Pet center within the same name fortress on an island). THIS IS the same name Cathedral in Peterhof, around 45 min from the center. It totally differs in style and year of construction from the St. Pet's on...

👍👍 Рядом с парадным Петергофом вы найдёте удивительный и безмятежный парк —  Александрию. Здесь царит настроение загородного отдыха и спокойствия. В самом сердце парка расположился элегантный загородный дворец Коттедж. Он сразу же трогает сердце своим очарованием. Сказочные изящные фасады поражают вооб...

👍👍 If you are in Petersburg, just come here. I don't need to add more to this. Rest about this great place you can read in wiki! I can just say - it's worth to come here.

👍👍 Great place for a walk. Buy tickets online or by card, it’s faster and you don’t have to stand in line.

Elegant baroque palace built for Peter the Great in the 1700s, with an art & porcelain collection.

👍👍 Alexandria Park. We love to come here for a walk with our family. A very beautiful, calm, picturesque place. A place with history. Named after its first owner - Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Nicholas I. The family nest of four generations of the Romanov dynasty. The manifesto on Russia's ent...

👍👍 The place is interesting especially at night in winter. Wind from the bay, light rain, a lighthouse overhead in the light of searchlights, ice and snow underfoot, a feeling of space in which everything is lost somewhere far away, light, rain. Depth. It’s beautiful, but the wind is cold, as always in...

👍👍 Фермерский дворец интересен не только своей необычной историей. Это единственный дворец в России, построенный специально для Александра II. На протяжении полувека, с детских лет, его жизнь была связана с этим уникальным зданием, которое менялось вместе с хозяином. Так же как и Дворец Коттедж, котор...

👍👍 Место замечательное атмосферное. Но так хочется, чтобы эту красоту возродили! Сравниваю с фотографиями 2008-2009 годов - всё то же, дворец Михаила Николаевича медленно разрушается... Храм Св.Ольги открыт для верующих.

Built for Peter the Great, this 1700s baroque retreat was inspired by a Parisian hunting lodge.

👍 It’s a shame that such an atmospheric and unusual place is simply abandoned. This applies to both the head itself and the entire park. I recommend coming to look at the head in the evening hours, then it looks especially dark, unusual and realistic. In bad weather or after rain, it is worth taking c...

👍👍 The Petrodvorets factory is the oldest factory in Russia still in operation. It was founded by Peter the Great in 1721 as the Peterhof Lapidary Works and originally focused on producing marble components for churches, fountains, and palaces. In the middle of the 20th century, it converted to watch p...

👍👍 The place is very beautiful and iconic. It is from here that the famous Samson Fountain feeds. But the Pink Pavilion itself was destroyed during the Second World War, but its final destruction occurred at the end of the 20th century.

👍👍 Замечательное по красоте и ухоженности место. Стоимость без посещения музеев всего 150 руб. С музеями 450. И если наберётся 10 человек, то будет даже экскурсовод. Деньги будут потрачены не зря, не пожалеете, заглянув в отреставрированные и бережно охраняемые шедевры. На Ольгином острове можно увиде...
