The tour of the palace is quite informative, the guide presents the material well. Before entering, there was a queue of groups of tourists inside, the delay was about ten minutes, there were a lot of people, it was stuffy. I recommend visiting.

This is an incredible place! A must visit if you come to St. Petersburg for excursion purposes. The palace is magnificent, and the park is simply the best in the world! This is the very miracle that everyone should see at least once in their life! There is a professional guide inside the palace, but in the park it is better to take an audio guide. Buy tickets in advance on the official website.

Fabulous Fountain Sculpture Garden. The palace is small. It is about an hour's drive from St Petersburg. It is a vast garden with Fountains and Sculptures. Wonderful. very large. We got a buggy to go around. If someone wants to walk, they can also get into the sea which borders the garden

Visited Peterhof yesterday, it is better to arrive in the morning until there are no people, closer to 1 p.m. and later it will not be the same, the crowd will be such that it will be uncomfortable and the photo will be full of other people. The food inside is a nightmare, we took two hot dogs and lemonade from the grill shop and gave 1750 for it, it wouldn't have been pity if it had been hearty and delicious, but it was the cheapest sausage with cartilage, a record of cheese, fried wind-blown bacon and it all tasted like it was almost extinct ... kind of disrespectful to the guests. We went there for 7 hours, went around all the castles and nooks and crannies just didn't reach Alexandria and didn't go inside any buildings, so if you want to watch EVERYTHING and not drop dead there, it's best to take an electric car tour and quickly go around the grounds and then around the castles and take food/water with you for sure!!! At 10:00 the main fountain is turned on, they wrote that there should be solemn music, but there was none, just parts of the fountains were turned on in turn and everyone, in 2 minutes everything worked, waited for something grander. The Gulf of Finland is delightful, especially the chic view if you walk to Marley Palace and nearby climb the steps up, breathtaking. And be sure to buy at the entrance the guide "Peterhof", costs 100₽, in the middle there is a map and you will at least have a clue where you are going and where you have already been. Everything there, of course, is striking in scale and beauty. The on-site toilet is free, clean. There are two fountains in which children get mad, if you have children, then get them a change of clothes, and it is better of course to read the information yourself, because the tour guides are all different, they will not show you 100% of the territory and can tire of tones 😉 still looked at how to get to Peterhof, but the information is wrong. From the Avtovo metro only route 401 goes, it does not say "Fountains" but it goes where it needs to go. That's it!

I think it's too much to tout the palace and the fountains 🤭 everyone knows what's in there and how. I'll add some useful information! You can get to Peterhof Meteor (water) tickets from 1,400 per person one way. By bus (with tour mainly) The price is lucky. Our way is from Baltic Station on the train 😁 for 100p for two)) It's about 40 minutes. Then through the grove on foot for about 20 minutes and you're there. There was no line on this side (person 5) but we got there at 10am) Tickets to the palace are best bought on the website gorbill (did not work at the right moment) and locally. Take the line at the till, not the palace. Visit only in groups with a tour guide. Not bad overall. We took a tour to the Grotto - also interesting + gives you the opportunity to take beautiful photos where without this tour there is no access. Adult ticket to the Grotto 500p. They didn't go to the other palaces - tired. These days in St. Petersburg the heat +30° is not enough for everything. Another time we'll see the rest of the palaces. Admission to Alexandria is for a fee. Many tourists are surprised and saddened by this. Food and drink are very expensive - we took everything with us.

This is the 2nd year in a row we've come here: first it was the two of us with our husband, then with our parents. The second time, of course, you're not so impressed anymore, it's more like they were just following the company. Admission by passport RF for adults 750₽/person. We always come here and back by taxi, the average one-way price is 1000-1500₽. It is both more comfortable and profitable to tour

Great Guide Popov Tamara Evgenyevna! Guys this is a bomb!!! The kind of Guide who talks and lives his soul!! This is amazing, it's not the first time I've been to Peterhof!! And the experience is very different! It all depends on Guide!!! If you have Popov Tamara Evgenyevna Guide - everything will be great!!!

A very atmospheric, beautiful place. He tells history, and he wants to walk and walk and spends hours learning about the history of this place. Walking through the lower garden was not much spoiled by the downpour and the inability to shelter anywhere nearby except the toilet 😀

Not the first time in Peterhof. The place itself is very beautiful... well maintained. There's a lot of people, but nobody's bothering each other. Nature and the bay are magnificent. The fountains are beautiful. From the service : long queues at the entrance for Shopping ticket (but it's the holiday season , you can stand ) , on the grounds organized outlets selling ice cream , hot dogs, etc - the price is exorbitant ))) it is better to bring a snack 😃👍

Located on the southern shores of the Gulf of Finland, the Peterhof Palace was originally built as a response to the Palace of Versailles and as a gift from Peter the Great to his wife, Catherine I. Intended as a summer residence for the royal family, the palace and its surrounding gardens are renowned for their grandeur and beauty. Featuring meticulously designed gardens adorned with golden statues and dancing fountains, Peterhof stands as one of the finest examples of European gardens. Divided into upper and lower gardens, with the main palace situated between them, the complex boasts a staggering 255 bronze statues and 64 gravity-fed fountains. Sadly, the palace suffered significant damage during World War II, but thanks to extensive restoration efforts, it has been returned to its former glory.
