Golden classic of the suburbs of St. Petersburg: Pushkin and Peterhof
Description:
I invite you to a fascinating tour, where you will learn about how the two main country residences were created, what is the special attraction of the Amber Room and why even the French come to admire the fountains of the Lower Park, which eclipsed Versailles.
Pushkin: an interesting auto tour
On the way to the city of Pushkin, the guide will tell you about the tragic fate of state museums-reserves during the war - about the feat of guardians, about the destruction of cultural values, about the restoration of palaces from the ashes. And upon arrival in the Catherine Palace, you will be able to feel like royal persons – you will pass the ceremonial enfilade, see the “golden infinity”, the Amber Room and the ceremonial interiors, where members of the Romanov dynasty gave lunches, balls and hosted guests.
The Incredible Peterhof
On the way to Peterhof you will find a story about the French kings and Peter I, about Ropsch and Strelna. And at the same time you will learn how the coast of the Gulf of Finland was transformed in the 18th century. In the Lower Park you will enjoy its beauty and magnificent layout - jets of water and gold sculptures, fountains-allegories and fountains-jokes. Perhaps you will experience Peter the Great’s sense of humor.
