Gatchina - the shelter of the Russian "Prince Hamlet"

We will pick you up at a hotel, airport, train station or any other place convenient for you.

On the way to the medieval Knight's Castle, you will drive along Moscow Avenue and see the legendary Fontanka River, the Resurrection Novodevichy Monastery, the Moscow Triumphal Gate, Moscow Victory Park, Moscow Square and the House of Soviets, Victory Square with a memorial to the defenders of Leningrad, Pulkovo Heights, and much more.

Next, you will visit the Gatchina Castle, where the future Emperor Paul I spent 13 years waiting for the Russian throne.
Another Emperor Alexander III lived in Gatchina also 13 years, but being already on the throne. It was from Gatchina that he ruled the empire, and it was there that he uttered his famous phrase "As long as the Russian Emperor fishes, Europe can wait."

In addition to inspecting the royal chambers, you will visit the secret underground passage, where you will communicate with the famous Gatchina echo. And, of course, to your attention - a beautiful park with ponds and with the same fish.

The duration of the tour is 5 hours.

I also recommend visiting the Priory Palace of the Knights of Malta, the only building in the country built on earth-biting technology.

When visiting all St. Petersburg museums, you must have a passport, birth certificates of children, pension and preferential certificates.

All entrance tickets, including for the guide, are not included in the cost of the tour and are paid separately.
