    To the south of St. Petersburg there is a great variety of cultural and historical sites. Many manors and palaces, defensive and church buildings were built here during the Russian Empire. In our trip we will try to see the most interesting of them. It was decided to start our journey with a visit to Gatchina, after which we plan to move further south. On the way we will visit some of the most interesting museums, as well as visit famous monuments and ancient castles. We plan to return to St. Petersburg via Kingisepp along the coast of the Gulf of Finland.
