3 DAY TOUR

If you have followed the itinerary for Day 1 and Day 2, on the third day you may be ready for a wonderful all-day trip to either Peterhof or Tsarskoye Selo (Pushkin).  Excursions to these places with English speaking guides can be booked at The St Petersburg Traveller.

In Peterhof the fountains are open from the end of May so if you are here earlier, a trip to Tsarskoye Selo will be your best choice. You'll see Catherine's Palace and Catherine's Park with a lot of beautiful pavilions, sculptures, ponds, trees and flowers.

If you are here in summer it would be great to go to Peterhof. You'll see the Great Palace with its extraordinary interiors, the Upper Garden, which resembles Versailles in its planning, and, of course, the Lower Park with its unsurpassable fountains. You'll be astonished by the Great Cascade with its gold-covered sculptures glistening amidst springs of crystal clear water! Walk around the Park and see the many fountains, along with pavilions and sculptures that all bear historical meaning. You'll get to the bank of the Gulf of Finland and see the famous Kronstadt city far away on an island.

In the evening you can have a wonderful boat trip through rivers and canals of St. Petersburg, with or without an excursion. On the boat it's possible to order dinner, live music or folklore program.
