Peterhof, whose webcams can be viewed on this page, is one of the most unusual cities not only in Russia, but throughout the world
It is located on the shores of the Gulf of Finland in 40 minutes. drive from the "northern capital" of the Russian Federation.Peterhof gained world fame thanks to the architectural and garden-park complex of the same name. At the same time, the Peterhof Museum-Reserve, which is the most visited in the country, is far from the only park.
Tourists come to see the famous fountains, palaces and wonderful gardens. But there are other parks in the city that are not so crowded, but, at the same time, are no less beautiful. The most stunning of the "unpopular" parks of Peterhof are Alexandria and the Colonist Garden.
The main place of attraction for guests and residents of the city is the Lower Park.
It is here that the complex of the famous fountains of Peterhof is located, whose webcams can be viewed in real time on this site
In order not to stand in a long line at the ticket office at the entrance to the complex, it is better to buy tickets on the official website of the museum-reserve. An online ticket is a barcode that is sent to the guest's phone after payment. To enter the park, it is enough to bring a phone with a barcode image to the turnstile.The fountains of Peterhof are launched in the spring, in mid-April, and turned off with the onset of cold weather, in mid-autumn.
At the entrance to the park, the long Grand Palace of Peterhof rises, built in the middle of the 18th century. The site for the construction of the building was chosen by Peter the Great himself. The palace stands on a hill, and from its viewing platforms you can see the main Grand Cascade of fountains and a picturesque panorama of the Gulf of Finland.
Initially, the Grand Palace was a low, but 50 meters long two-story building. And during the reign of Elizabeth, the third tier was built on.
Unfortunately, the original building was blown up during the Great Patriotic War. The palace that the guests of Peterhof are contemplating today is an object restored in the 50-60s of the last century. The facades and interiors of the palace are lavishly decorated with gilding. In the halls you can see a lot of antique furniture, sculptures and paintings.
If, for now, there is no way to go to St. Petersburg, Peterhof webcams, which you can watch online on this site, will help fill the travel deficit.
