Peterhof State Museum Preserve, Northwestern District, Russia

The gardens must not be missed.

We are not great fans of group tours since they have a strict time schedule to follow. We prefer doing a tour at our own pace, which needs lots of advance planning and research, but then you can make your itinerary. We were a party of four so it made sense to take an uber from our hotel to this Palace. Fortunately we made it well in time to watch the grand cascade, hemmed in as we were by hordes of Chinese tourists. Yet, having arrived early, we managed a vantage point from where we could witness the grand fountains which open at a particular time only once a day. After that we toured the gardens and then the Peterhof State Museum. Frankly the Catherine Palace was more opulent. As we had already seen that, we were a bit disappointed. The gardens with their walks, the boathouse, the various fountains were however a unique experience and not to be missed.

Amazing day out of St. Pet
In order to fully appreciate this complex have an entire day at your disposal. It's one of the best places all of Russia has to offer. It's located southwest of the Imperial capital and you can reach it by speedboat (summer time only), public bus or taxi. I advise combining the trip with the beautiful Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt (read that review). Once here there's really lot to do and see - the Summer Palace, magnificent gardens, the Monplesir sea house, outstanding fountains,...etc.

Wonderful
The gardens are well kept and very pleasant to walk through. The buildings reflect the opulence of the time with gold everywhere.
