For May holidays in St. Petersburg!

What to see in St. Petersburg on May Day

В мае нам предоставлено несколько дополнительных выходных, что позволяет устроить маленькое путешествие на викэнд. Но имея ограниченные финансовые возможности, далеко не уедешь. Необязательно стремиться выехать за границу, ведь столько необыкновенных мест можно увидеть и в своей стране. Притер и его архитектура не менее прекрасна, чем в Амстердаме или Будапеште. Но путешествуя даже по родным просторам, задаешься вопросом о том, где же остановиться? Проще всего прописать в стоке поиска – отели, или если хочется подешевле – хостелы. Выбрав себе «приют», можно смело отправляться в путь.

Spring Peterhof

In the spring and summer it is important to cover what is outdoors - a lot of walking, watching, participating in festivities. Therefore, the number one item is a visit to the amazing palace and park complex - Peterhof.

The Upper Garden, Alexandria, Colonial, English, Alexandrovsky, Meadow, Lower and other parks are located in this area. It is hardly possible to walk around all this in one day, not to mention the other sights of St. Petersburg. This is why it is worth to stay in this city for more than one day, and comfortable and inexpensive accommodation will offer hostels in St. Petersburg.

The tour begins with the Upper Garden, which was used as a vegetable garden during the reign of Peter the Great. Now the garden is filled with a huge number of fountains, including "Oak", "Mezheumny", "Neptune" and others.

The Grand Peterhof Palace is the basis of the composition of the Upper Garden and the Lower Park. The Lower Park is conceived by the architect in such a way that there are two systems of alleys crossing each other, which rest against the bay or fountains.

It is worth noting, located in the eastern part of the park, the Monplaisir Palace, the name of which (from French) means "my pleasure". It was so named by Peter the Great. After the death of the sovereign, the palace has not been changed, and everything located in it is presented as museum exhibits, which will appeal to lovers of history and art.
