I was lucky enought to have the time to make two excursions outside of St. Petersburg and to see both Peterhof palace and Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Selo. I have to say that I liked Tsarskoye Selo much better than the higher rated Peterhof. I was blown away by Catherine Palace and the parks surronding the palace. Just seeing the... more

The place is just awesome! A true counterpart to the famous Winter Palace - and not surprisingly, since this was the royal summer residence (while the Winter Palace was, naturally, the winter one). Especially recommended for those more interested in seeing the royal interiors then, say, the art displays. Although the palace itself is a masterpiece of art - I... more

The first time I came to Catherine's Palace, I was an impressionable 16 years old and arrived just as the snow fall shifted from a flurry to a steady pour. We had a few hours to kill before our tour started, so we took our time wandering around the grounds. It was almost empty because it was early March and... more
