DAY 03 ST. PETERSBURG
After breakfast, free time. Guests can optionally join the "Peterhof and Pushkin Tsar Town Tours." In this tour, we will have the opportunity to see the summer palace built by Peter after he drew the plans himself, constructed by the Italian architect Rastrelli, located in the Gulf of Finland. It is a magnificent palace complex, rivaling the Palace of Versailles in Paris, adorned with 150 monumental fountains and 4 waterfalls in its gardens. Although it suffered significant damage during World War II, it has been restored to maintain the grandeur of its original architecture. Following this, we will visit the park, palace, and buildings complex known as Tsar Town, built by Catherine in the 18th century, covering an area of 600 hectares, with the Catherine Palace being the main building. The Amber Room here is particularly interesting; however, it is often not visited by many tourists due to the high volume in the summer months. This famous town where the Tsarist-era aristocracy met with the tsar family is also home to the school where the renowned poet Pushkin was educated. After the tour, transfer to the hotel.
