Pushkin and Gatchina
The south of the Leningrad region is very rich in amazingly beautiful palace and park ensembles. We suggest you go to the XIX century and admire the sophistication, taste and style of that time. Dream a little bit and imagine what your life would be like among the palace chambers. Today you will find the museum-reserve "Tsarskoe Selo", the lyceum, where Alexander Pushkin studied and made his closest friends, and the Palace Park in Gatchina.

In Gatchina, visit an unusual 18th century ensemble. The birch house was designed by architect F. Violais in the mid 1780s and embodied the boldest fantasies of the future Empress Maria Feodorovna.

Парк Зверинец
Park
Open Details
In the evening, take a stroll through the old park on both sides of the Gatchina River. It was founded in the second half of the 18th century and its founder is Count Grigory Orlov.
You can hardly meet any animals here now, but the scenery is amazing. Although once there were rare exotic animals brought from all over the world.
