Peterhof Park (Park only, without Palace)

Overview

This half‑day outing focuses on Peterhof’s outdoor highlights: the Lower Park, its terraces and the famous fountain ensembles. It’s designed for travellers who want maximum time outside among the cascades and seafront views without visiting palace interiors.

What to expect

Your day begins with hotel pickup in St. Petersburg (shared‑transfer option departs around 09:00). Travel to Peterhof by road, then stroll the Lower Park at a relaxed pace to see the Grand Cascade, Samson Fountain and the formal parterres. You’ll have time for photo stops at the main viewpoints, a walk along the seaside terraces and independent exploring of the fountain groups before returning to St. Petersburg.
