PETRODVORETS (PETERHOF)The imperial summer palace built at the beginning of the
18th century is on the Gulf of Finland, 20 miles from St. Petersburg.
Petrodvorets is a combination of several palaces, containing furniture,
paintings and applied art items that belonged to different generations of
Russian Czars. In front of the Big Palace is a beautiful fountain and its
many tiers and ornamental golden statues offer an amazing sight.
HALF DAY TOUR
PUSHKIN
(Tsarskoye Selo – Czar’s village)
Puskin’s beautiful palaces and parks were created under
Empresses Elizabeth and Catherine the Great between 1744-1796. The
centerpiece is the vast Baroque Catherine’s Palace, designed by Rastrelli
and named after Elizabeth’s mother, the second wife of Peter the Great.
With its golden spires and luxurious interiors it is perhaps the grandest
of all the 18th century baroque-style palaces.
HALF DAY TOUR
PAVLOVSK
A short drive from Pushkin is this park of woodland,
rivers, lakes, little valleys, avenues, classical statues and temples
which are some of the most exquisite in Russia. The Great Palace is a
classical contrast to the baroque Catherine Palace in Pushkin. Charles
Cameron designed it between 1781-1786 on Catherine the Great’s orders, for
her son, the future Paul I.
