Petergof Palace
  • Tip Rating:
  • The main site in Petrodvorets is, obviously, the Petergof summer palace of the royal family. (They owned a vast Winter Palace in Peterburg, and a couple of other ones near it in addition to this one, one in Kiev, at least two in Moscow, and probably more...)

    The place was built in XVIII century by the court architect Rastrelli. The centerpiece is the vast fountain complex with golden statue of Neptune in its center. The gold contrasts with the rustic stones of the grotto behind it, and makes the whole thing look as tasteful as a baroque fountain could ever be. Inside you can see the collection of the period art and home furnishings; that is, if you will be able to get through the hordes of tourists. The park is much more peaceful though.

    The whole place was rebuilt from ground up after it was burned down during WW II.

    Russian Naval museum
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is a small but informative naval museum in an historic building located next to the coast of the Finnish Gulf. It is focused on personal boats used by Russian emperors, full of models, engravings, even dining china sets.

    Peter and Paul Cathedral
    Although Peterhof is the main attraction in town, don't miss this cathedral. It's on the way to the park from the train station.
