The trip to Peterhof, the former court of Peter the Great, is an unforgettable journey which takes about an hour from the city center. While driving through the city you will see its architectural style changing from the 18th century, through the Soviet era, to its modern style. Our driver will take an old road along the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, a route which used to be compared with the one leading from Paris to Versailles. Close to the road is the official presidential residence, famous as the venue for the G8 meeting in 2006 and G20 in 2013. A short metro trip on the way back from the countryside is a good chance to see St Petersburg’s famous metro stations, which decorated in the “Stalin Empire” style.
From April to October more than 150 fountains can be seen in and around the Upper and Lower Parks of Peterhof. Filled with gilded statues, billions of water drops and greenery everywhere, the gardens will make you very happy! The fountains and park are included on the international UNESCO list as a unique piece of the world's heritage, and after visiting them you'll totally agree with the list's authors.
