Lomonosov is a small coastal city with a rich history and a special atmosphere, where the past of the eras of St. Petersburg coexists with the silence of the Finnish Gulf. Formerly known as Oranienbaum, it preserves the heritage of eighteenth-century palace complexes, tranquil park ensembles and coastal landscapes that attract those seeking a blend of history and nature.
Man-made attractions here are striking in scope and sophistication: the Oranienbaum Palace and Park Ensemble with the Great Menshikov Palace, the Chinese Palace and the Palace of Peter III, the Lower Garden, created in the early XVIII century, and extensive Upper Parks together with the Park "Own Dacha". Historical buildings, pavilions and regular gardens give an idea of the court life and architectural tastes of the time, and restored interiors and expositions in museums make the tour especially rich.
The natural corners around Lomonosov are no less attractive: Gorovaldai Lake is a great place to relax by the water, the Karasta River with a waterfall in the Upper Park adds picturesque notes to the walks, and the floodplain landscapes, green groves and the coastline of the Gulf of Finland create conditions for quiet hiking and picnics. The Upper Park covers more than 60 hectares, the Lower Garden is about 4.8 hectares, and all these spaces are perfectly combined with the natural attractions of the area.
