Peterhof (Petrodvorets) was the summer residence of the czars. It is also called the "Russian Versailles". This town is a jewel of Russian art, a city of parks, palaces and fountains. The Lower Park was created based on examples of the regular gardens, and preserved all the features of its French originals. During the tour you will explore amazing Gardens with numerous fountains. The main structure of the majestic fountain system of Peterhof is the Great Cascade, an amazing monument of Baroque art. Another fountain that is absolutely fantastic is the sculptural group of the fountain Samson tearing the lion's jaws. It is an allegory of the victory of Russian army over the Swedish army at Poltava. Fountains will surprise you not only by the impressive size, but also by amazing decoration.
After the guided walking tour by the Park you will have free time to enjoy the place in your tempo.
