About 40 minutes outside St Petersburg this opulent garden park / summer palace is well worth a visit - with around 150 separate fountains including some "trick" fountains it is an amazing experience - the gold statues and water features blend into something truly wonderful - do not miss if in St Petersburg

Once a formal garden built for Peter the Great, this popular park still has more than 80 of the original marble statues and sculptures and houses Peter's Summer Palace, a simply designed two-story building that now displays many of the ruler's own artifacts.

The National Congress Palace is a multifunctional complex working as a state residence, a museum and a modern congress venue. It is located on the Gulf of Finland coastline. The gem of the NCP is The Konstantin Palace housing chambers of the Russian President. The palace features an exceptional collection of Russian art. Wine-tasting in the palace cellars is available. Feast and business events can be organized at the NCP. Part of the complex is a 5* Baltic Star Hotel and the Villas offering luxury accommodation.

The palace has been transformed from a derelict to its original grandeur and the grounds transformed into a veritable fairyland of walkways among trees and gardens, fountains and canals. The gardens are only open during the summer. The palace is open on a very limited schedule. Very few are permitted. It you ever have an opportunity, TAKE IT!

The Peterhof Palace is closed on Monday and the last Tuesday of every month. As the hydrofoil was not operating in November, we took uber near the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood to Peterhof Palace and it cost slightly less than 700 roubles. It was important to select Peterhof Palace and not just Peterhof on the screen. It was about 1.5 hour ride. For the return trip from the Peterhof Palace to the St Nicholas Naval Church, it cost 598 roubles (heavy traffic throughout). The combined ticket online for the palace and the Special Treasury was 1100 roubles and it is cheaper if they are purchased at the ticket counter. The other attractions were only opened during the weekends during winter. The fountains in the lower park had closed since October for winter and thus entrance was free during this period (November when we were there). The park still looked good in pictures even though the trees were bare and there was no water in fountain. Audio guide is not available in English. We first visited the cloak room to deposit our coats and then put on the mandatory paper shoes. Just like the Catherine Palace, the Peterhof Palace has similar grand ballrooms with glittering gold trimmings all over too. We saw state dining rooms, study of Peter the Great, dressing room, etc. Photography was not allowed inside. There were some short descriptions in English for some of the halls. The Special Treasury is small but not to be missed. It is located in a separate building.

Situated within the Peter and Paul Fortress, this Russian Orthodox cathedral really stands out with its gold spire. The rude screen is absolutely beautiful, but I don't think that I have ever seen a cathedral with as much gold on display. Having been told that this was the burial place of the Russian nobility, it was however, odd to see so many tombs within such a small cathedral, although hearing the history from our excellent tour guide, highlights this buildings amazing history. A lovely place to visit.
10. Menshikov's Great Palace
