Peterhof is a unique ensemble city on the Gulf of Finland, created by the will of Peter I as a solemn summer residence. Its history combines architectural majesty and engineering audacity: palaces and fountains here have become symbols of the era, and post-war restoration has regained lost brilliance. The atmosphere of the city lives by the play of water and green alleys, where every corner breathes history and a festival of water.
Man-made sights of Peterhof are striking in scale and variety: the Great Peterhof Palace and the Grand Cascade with terraced fountains, the palaces of Marley and Monplaisir, the ensembles of the Upper and Lower Gardens, the sea channel and Petrodvorets, the fountain Neptune, Favorite, Golden Mountain, Eva, Adam and many other sculptural compositions. Here are the Grottoes under the fountains of the Grand Cascade, the Marlin and Farm Palaces, the Aviaries and the monument to Peter I, the ruined bridge and the Gothic Church of Alexander Nevsky - all these objects make up a rich picture of the architectural heritage.
Natural attractions organically complement the palace landscape: spacious parks "Alexandria" and Alexander Park, landscape gardens and numerous ponds, the embankment near Monplezier and the sea coast of the Gulf of Finland. Alleys, flower beds and quiet corners create opportunities for leisurely walks and picnics, and views of the water and cascades of fountains make the visit especially impressive at any time of the year.
On our site you can see all these attractions on an interactive map, read brief descriptions and see photos. The user-friendly interface allows you to mark points of interest, plan the sequence of inspection and build optimal walking or road routes taking into account time and preferences.
You can explore Peterhof on your own, following the laid route and discovering the city at your own pace, or book excursions with local guides. Professional guides will tell little-known stories, show hidden angles of fountains and palace interiors, and excursions will help to better understand the historical and engineering context of these places.
Come to Peterhof to see the splendor of fountains and palaces with your own eyes, discover new corners and make your own list of things to see. Plan routes, book excursions and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of live history – the city is waiting for your steps and new discoveries.
