There are a lot of beautiful places around the world where you will feel happy and relaxed yourself. And Catherine Park is definitely one of those places. I had so warm walk with my soulmate in the amazing place with incredible views just everywhere you turn your head. The perennial trees, ponds, beautiful buildings with a long history. So precious moments of life.🤍

My family's favorite park grounds. We walk the grounds at least once a year. There are lots of fun paths for kids to explore. If you bring nuts you can also sometimes feed squirrels or chickadees. Don't forget to walk behind the palace to the left and explore some lovely gardens with statues there.

A wonderful park in the town of Pushkin, very close to Saint Petersburg. There are different types of tickets. Visitors can buy a ticket to enter the park or a combo ticket for both the park and the palace. Other types of tickets include tickets for tours and specific museums tickets. The park-only ticket is very cheap and has the shortest queuing line. There are some good dining options close to the beautiful lake. There’s also a small cafe close to the entrance overlooking the palace. In addition, a few food kiosks are scattered throughout the park.

Amazing historical place. There are big landscape and regular parks with monuments. Many flowers, birds, squirrels. You can have a trip on a gondola or a ferry across the lake. You can feel the greatness of Russian empire that doesn't exist anymore.

Amazing gardens. There are several pavilion to visit and they all have wildly different styles, which makes it fun. Some are available to visit with a ticket (like the amazing Cold Baths, where the Agathe Rooms are located) and some can be visited for free (like the Chinese style pavilion and the Italian Style pavilion with authentic roman mosaics from the 2nd century) Just strolling around is nice, and they are more chilled than Petergof, with lots of locals enjoying the scene.

A dream of a spacious garden. The beautiful Baroque palaces are surrounded by fantastic French and English gardens. There are also various very interesting outbuildings. You have to search in Europe for a long time to find comparable.

If you have time visit it. It is not like Petergoff, much bigger, and more places to see. Visit her palace and hermitage both interiors represents her unique personality. Hermitage pay is around 300 rubels. The entrance to the park around 150 rubels, and to the palace maybe 900 rubels, different prices for Russians. The queue to the palace can be very long. But everything is much more organised than in Petergoff. Gives you a very nice overall experience. Inside the park you can find fast food like hot dogs, tea and icecream... all around you when you walk the big park. Will take you one full day and you still might not finish it all. Alexandar palace has different entry, it is for free. Nice park, but you cant see the palace as it was under renovation when i made this review. The park is very nice though.

Absolutely fantastic place with very adorable prices!Don't know why is this place not such popular as Peterhoff but we enjoy it much more seen much more and 5 hours of walking go very quick.Looking forward to get back to Pushkin town and no doubt could see even better.Awesome,clean and wonderful place.Thank you very much for great impressions and inspiration for my art.

A truly beautiful park that reminded me a lot of the palace gardens in Potsdam. Although the park is located next to the Katharinenpark, it is much quieter and you can enjoy the green of nature.

Good park to walk, but not all passes without mud 😀

Not so many people as in the next Ekaterininsky, the palace is under the reconstruction, but the bridges are already ready, as well as the Chinese village. The Ekaterininsky palace and its golden gate from the rear

It's great for nature, we were walking after the rain and the smell was awesome. It's not equipped though.

A wonderful walk in a beautiful park! WC is 30rub.

Nature is always good. And if a sunny winter day, then in a double. We must walk more often. we everywhere are beautiful. The park has recently become even better. Walk those. be surprised. Love.

Nice place. You can rent bicycle near to this park.

Start with it! And make it to the lifting table session. At the beginning of the tour you will watch a video which is very helpful to understand Catherine’s palace. I am so impressed by this Hermitage!

A fairy tale. Very well maintained and cheap to visit considering the time you spend and things you can see

quite place

Very nice place.

Loved it!

Amazing building.

So beautiful

Beautiful garden 😍

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place in the Catherine Park of Tsarskoe Selo. To take pictures without crowds of tourists, naturally, you need to arrive at the opening. (Original) Красивое местечко в Екатерининском парке Царского Села. Чтобы сделать кадры без толп туристов, естественно, надо приезжать к открытию.

(Translated by Google) Harmony. Catherine really built the gallery for philosophy. Ancient beauty on the border of landscape and regular parks. Built in 1784-1787 according to the design of the Scottish architect Cameron, who was in love with Rome. Unfortunately, access to the gallery itself is limited. It was not possible to philosophize. (Original) Гармония. Екатерина построила галлерею действительно для философии. Античная красота на границе ландшафтного и регулярного парков. Построена в 1784—1787 годах по проекту шотландского архитектора Камерона который был влюблен в Рим. К сожалению, доступ на саму галлерею ограничен. Пофилософствовать не получилось.

(Translated by Google) Catherine the Great built herself a “nest” not for holidays, but for solitude, leisurely walks and philosophical conversations. To translate her plans into stone, Catherine “supplied” from Italy the Scottish architect Charles Cameron, who was in love with Ancient Rome. He came to Russia, got married and lived here until his death. The Scotsman had an unbearable character for the crowned customers: he really didn’t like it when they interfere in the process. Catherine endured it because their tastes coincided. The famous Cameron Gallery, decorated with busts of ancient philosophers, is the Empress’s favorite architectural work. Construction has just begun, and she is already writing to Voltaire: “I have taken possession of Master Cameron, who is imbued with the study of the ancients... He and I are making a garden with terraces here in Tsarskoye Selo, with baths below and a gallery above. It will be lovely!” And sure enough, it turned out to be a beauty: a light, floating upper part of the building with a long colonnade that rests on a powerful, deliberately rough base made of Pudost stone. What kind of stone is this, you ask? This is calcareous tuff, which was mined near the Sarskoye village, near the village of Pudost. Many palaces and temples in St. Petersburg are lined with this tuff, the columns of the Kazan Cathedral, for example. Cameron built “cold baths” on the ground floor of the building. Above them is actually a gallery. It is filled with light and is completely different from the main palace, but without it it would look ponderous and archaic, but together they highlight each other favorably. I was amazed by the busts on the terrace of the gallery, at first I thought that they were modern: they look so original and in tune with our time - light, completely surreal, barely touching the pedestal! But no, these are real works by masters of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, cast in bronze in 1780–1790. All survived and are standing where Cameron placed them. There is a marvelous flower garden all around, views of indescribable beauty... there would be, if not for the huge mass of Chinese groups that filled everything. Also, a kind of flower garden). (Original) Екатерина Великая строила себе «гнездышко» не для праздников, а для уединения, неспешных прогулок и философских бесед. Чтобы воплотить в камне задуманное, Екатерина «выписала» из Италии шотландского архитектора Чарльза Камерона, влюбленного в Древний Рим. Он приехал в Россию, женился и жил тут до самой смерти. Характер у шотландца был невыносимый для коронованных заказчиков: очень не любил, когда они вмешиваются в процесс. Екатерина терпела, потому что их вкусы совпадали. Знаменитая Камеронова галерея, украшенная бюстами древних философов, — любимое архитектурное произведение императрицы. Строительство только началось, а она уже пишет Вольтеру: «Я завладела мастером Камероном, который напитан изучением древних… Мы с ним мастерим здесь в Царском Селе сад с террасами, с банями внизу и галереей наверху. Это будет прелесть!». И точно — получилась прелесть: легкая, парящая верхняя часть здания с длинной колоннадой, которая описается на мощное, нарочито грубое основание из пудостского камня. Что это за камень такой, спросите? Это известковый туф, который добывали неподалеку от Сарского села, возле деревни Пудость. Этим туфом выложено немало дворцов и храмов Санкт-Петербурга, колонны Казанского собора, например. В первом этаже здания Камерон соорудил «холодные бани». Над ними — собственно, галерея. Она наполнена светом и совершенно непохожа на основной дворец, но без нее он бы смотрелся тяжеловесно и архаично, а вместе они выгодно оттеняют друг друга. Меня поразили бюсты на террасе галереи, я подумала поначалу, что они современные: так оригинально и созвучно нашему времени они смотрятся — легкие, совершенно сюрные, едва касающиеся постамента! Ан нет, это настоящие произведения мастеров Санкт-Петербургской Академии художеств, отлитые из бронзы в 1780–1790 годах. Уцелели все, и стоят там, где их поставил Камерон. Вокруг разбит дивный цветник, виды неописуемой красоты… были бы, если б не огромная масса китайских групп, заполонивших всё. Тоже, своего рода цветник).

(Translated by Google) It is a masterpiece! I have been here many times and every time I am delighted and delighted!!! (Original) Это шедевр! Много раз бывала здесь и каждый раз восторг и наслаждение!!!

(Translated by Google) After a comprehensive restoration it looks fantastically beautiful! I would like to write that after the palace itself, the Cameron Gallery is the dominant feature of the park. But this is not entirely true, or rather not at all true. Everything in this park is so harmonious that all the attractions built here do not put pressure on each other. In sunny weather, the Cameron Gallery offers breathtaking views of the park. (Original) После комплексной реставрации выглядит фантастически красиво! Хочется написать, что после собственно дворца, Камеронова галерея является доминантой парка. Но это не совсем так, а точнее совсем не так. В этом парке всё настолько гармонично, что все построенные здесь достопримечательности не давят друг на друга. В солнечную погоду с Камероновой галереи открываются захватывающие виды на парк.

(Translated by Google) When visiting the Catherine Palace, it is impossible not to pay attention to this building. The gallery, conceived by Catherine II for walks and philosophical conversations, was built in 1784. The upper tier is decorated with bronze busts of idols of the Empress. The spirit of antiquity can be traced throughout the building. From the top platform there is a wonderful landscape view of the park. (Original) Посещая Екатерининский дворец невозможно не обратить внимание на эту постройку. Галерея, задуманна Екатериной II для прогулок и философских бесед, построена в 1784 году. Верхний ярус украшают бронзовые бюсты кумиров Императрицы. Во всём строении прослеживается дух античности. С верхней площадки открывается замечательный пейзажный вид на парк.

If you are interested in modern style, you should visit it. The Palace isn’t big, 1-1,5 hour is enough to enjoy the exhibitions. It can be difficult without audio guide.

In September 2015, the Alexander Palace Museum was closed for restoration work. The planned deadline for restoration is mid-2020. It was founded in 1792 by order of Catherine II and was built for the wedding of her beloved grandson, Grand Duke Alexander Pavlovich (future Emperor Alexander I) with Grand Princess Elizabeth Alekseevna. In May 1796, in the last year of the Empress, the construction was completed, and on June 12, 1796, Grand Duke Alexander Pavlovich and his wife entered the new palace. Since 1904, the Alexander Palace became the permanent residence of Emperor Nicholas II, who was born here in 1868 and treated Tsarskoe Selo with special warmth. The last 13 years of the reign of the Russian emperor took place here; from here on the morning of August 1, 1917, the imperial family was sent to exile. In 1918, the Alexander Palace was opened to visitors as a state museum. The exposition included historical interiors on the first floor in the central part of the building and residential apartments of the Romanov family in the right wing of the palace.

A very beautiful places

I like it

Super the best

That was perfect

(Translated by Google) All my life I thought that they were stone, from Egypt, but alas) they are magnificent!!! Initially, the gates were called Kuzminskie, as they were built at the entrance to Tsarskoe Selo from the former settlement of Bolshoye Kuzmino and served as propylaea (the main entrance) to Alexander Park, until in 1895 part of its territory was used for the construction of barracks. (Original) Всю жизнь думала, что они каменные, из Египта, но увы) но они великолепны!!! Первоначально ворота носили название Кузьминские, так как были построены при въезде в Царское Село со стороны бывшей слободы Большое Кузьмино и служили пропилеями (парадным входом) в Александровский парк, пока в 1895 году часть его территории не использовали под строительство казарм.

(Translated by Google) Egyptian Gate - built in 1827-1830 at the entrance to Tsarskoye Selo from the former settlement Bolshoye Kuzmino according to the design of Adam Menelas in the Egyptian style. The gate consists of two towers connected by fence links. The towers - stone three-story pylons - were guard rooms. On the outside, the walls are lined with cast iron slabs, on which there are relief images of 30 different scenes from Egyptian mythology. On the frontal planes of the pylons there are paired figures of the god Osiris, in the form of a man in men's clothing and in a crown of papyrus leaves, on the side planes there are paired images of the goddess Maat. The upper tier depicts the goddess Isis holding a child, the god Horus, in her arms. Below, on the tiers, are ritual scenes of initiation into pharaohs. (Original) Еги́петские воро́та — сооружены в 1827—1830 годах на въезде в Царское Село со стороны бывшей слободы Большое Кузьмино по проекту Адама Менеласа в египетском стиле. Ворота состоят из двух башен, соединенных звеньями ограды. Башни  — каменные трехэтажные пилоны — являлись сторожевыми помещениями. С внешней стороны стены облицованы чугунными плитами, на которых находятся рельефные изображения 30 различных сцен из египетской мифологии. На фронтальных плоскостях пилонов расположены парные фигуры бога Осириса, в образе человека в мужской одежде и в короне из листьев папируса, на боковых плоскостях - парные изображения богини Маат. На верхнем ярусе изображена богиня Исида, держащая на руках ребенка — бога Гора. Ниже, на ярусах, представлены ритуальные сцены посвящения в фараоны.

(Translated by Google) The Egyptian Gate is located at the entrance (exit) to the city of Pushkin. Very interesting design in the form of Egyptian drawings. (Original) Египетские ворота находятся при въезде (выезде) в г. Пушкин. Очень интересное оформление в виде египетских рисунков.

(Translated by Google) The Egyptian Gate is a memory of being a student, walking, going to the cinema, and everything past this gate. (Original) Египетские ворота, это воспоминание о студенчестве, прогулки походы в кино и всё мимо этих ворот.

First time been there. this place looks amazing from the outside and inside. Very luxury palace I've ever been visited. its very worth to travel all the way here. very George's architecture inside the building, with very luxury ornament also. a lot of tourist visiting here during the summer. still pretty cold even visit on summer time, they have a lot of souvenir ship around the palace too. And the tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Its very unforgettable experience I guess.

Super calm place for a nice walk, beautiful gardens, nice small lake, just pamper your eyes and soul. The Palace side however is cramped with lots of tourists as any other tourist destination

The Catherine Palace, also known as the Ekaterininskiy Dvorets, is a dazzling symbol of Russia's imperial history and architectural splendor. Located in the town of Pushkin, just outside St. Petersburg, this grand palace is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the palace's most iconic features is its striking blue façade adorned with intricate white and gold detailing, making it a breathtaking sight to behold. The interior of the Catherine Palace is equally magnificent, with opulent rooms adorned with ornate decorations, gilded moldings, and elaborate chandeliers. Visitors can explore the lavish halls, including the legendary Amber Room, famous for its walls adorned entirely in amber panels. The palace is also surrounded by extensive landscaped gardens, dotted with charming pavilions, statues, and fountains. The sprawling grounds offer a peaceful retreat from the bustling city and provide ample opportunities for leisurely strolls and photography. However, the history of the Catherine Palace is not without its darker chapters. During World War II, the palace suffered extensive damage at the hands of the invading German army. Fortunately, extensive restoration efforts have since returned the palace to its former glory, allowing visitors to admire its beauty once again. A visit to the Catherine Palace offers a fascinating glimpse into Russia's imperial past and the extravagant lifestyle of its rulers. Whether admiring its stunning architecture, exploring its sumptuous interiors, or wandering through its picturesque gardens, visitors are sure to be captivated by the grandeur and elegance of this historic landmark.

One of the best tourist attraction I've had ever visited. When i came inside the palace I've felt like a disney princess living in my own castle. I've got a picture of amber room as well 😍 I can't believe what my eyes saw that day until now it's still lingering on my mind the beauty of Catherine's Palace

Visited here in Winter - it was snowing and gloomy, and way too cold to walk around the park, unfortunately. Nonetheless, the palace was extremely grand and opulent, with extremely intricate detail in the architecture. It is quite a distance away from the city centre though - if you only have a couple of days, the Hermitage has a similarly grand and beautifully embellished architecture. Though perhaps in summer time it will be nice to walk around the entire park complex!

Once upon a time in our lives, we should visit this 1 of the most beautiful Castles which I've Respected it's the One off. Strongly Recommended.

Such a nice place to visit! All the Russian palaces are increadible, they give the impression we are all so small. Even with the distance from the city, its a easy place to find, just put the directions on google and you'll easily get there, even if you dont speak russian.

Very beautiful palace. Excursion is included in the price of tix. Lines are very long in the afternoon but there’s no people at all after five pm. So you can get in freely. We got in line at 2pm at around 4 we were inside. Definitely worth visiting. Amber room is being exposed now. Nice and beautiful room but didn’t impress us much.

It's a beautiful palace but still under renovation. The Amber Room is open. It took a long time to get inside. We paid for the garden entrance and then lined up in the grounds to get into the palace. Around 1 hr. Inside you have to pay again. Although it is a short visit inside, the mirror grand hall and the Amber room is worth it. Just beautiful. I appreciate the history about the renovations at the end. It's really interesting.

(Translated by Google) You can cut your hair quickly and inexpensively. Convenient location, the craftsmen work not for the first year, shearing quality. (Original) Можно быстро и недорого подстричься. Удобное расположение, мастера работают не первый год стригут качественно.

(Translated by Google) They had their hair cut at the old place in the Officers' House. Great masters. Comfortable and inexpensive (Original) У них стригся ещё на старом месте в Доме Офицеров. Отличные мастера. Уютно и недорого

On the outside its architecture is similar to other cathedrals. But you should get inside to see the original interior.

Nice Cathedral, but ugly baracks around

A church.

Beautiful

Beautifull

(Translated by Google) The cathedral was built at the beginning of the 20th century at the behest of the Emperor. Very impressive. Beautiful inside and out. Lots of old icons. Be sure to visit the lower caves. This is the place where the imperial family prayed. Indescribable feelings of a place of worship. (Original) Собор был построен в начале 20 века по велению Императора. Очень впечатляет. Красиво внутри и снаружи. Много старинных икон. Обязательно посетите нижние пещеры. Это место, где молилась императорская семья. Непередаваемые чувства намоленного места.

(Translated by Google) Theodore Sovereign's Cathedral. It was built in 1909-1912 on behalf of Emperor Nicholas II. Beautiful inside and out, there is a lot to see, especially for admirers of the last emperor. There are very few people. (Original) Феодоровский Государев собор. Был построен в 1909—1912 годы по поручению императора Николая II. Красиво внутри и снаружи, есть что посмотреть, особенно для почитателей последнего императора. Людей совсем немного.

(Translated by Google) An unusual and beautiful bridge, but every year one or more dragons are missing. They are usually dumped into a canal. There is constant security in the park. Just not at the right time and not in the right place. One Dragon has been gone for over a year... (Original) Необычный и красивый мост, но каждый год не хватает одного или нескольких драконов. Обычно их сбрасывают в канал. Охрана в парке постоянно. Только не в нужный момент и не в нужном месте. Одного Дракона уже больше года нет...

(Translated by Google) The Dragon Bridge was built in 1785 by architect Cameron. The figures of these wonderful little animals were chosen for the decoration of the bridge not by chance. In Chinese mythology, dragons keep the state treasury from non-virtues. The mythical winged creatures are obviously unfriendly: their silhouettes are intricately curved, their paws are extended, their tails writhe. One of the dragons flew off in an unknown direction. Now there are only three of them on the bridge. (Original) Драконов мост был возведен в 1785 году по проекту архитектора Камерона. Фигуры этих чудных зверушек были выбраны для декора моста не случайно. В китайской мифологии драконы хранят государственную казну от не добродетелей. Мифические крыллатые создания настроены явно недружелюбно: их силуэты причудливо изогнуты, лапы вытянуты, хвосты извиваются. Один из дракончиков улетел в неизвестном направлении. Сейчас на мосту их только трое.

(Translated by Google) It’s a beautiful bridge, it’s a pity that it’s not being restored. It’s rusting, and someone has already grabbed one of the dragons (( (Original) Красивый мостик, жаль, что не реставрируют. Ржавеет, да и дракончика одного уже кто-то прихватил ((

Beautifully rebuilt (in place of Lenin statue) functioning Orthodox cathedral!

Wonderful church. Houses the relics of St. John Kochurov of Chicago.

Home for a few months for the Pushkin family. Within walking distance from the Imperial Lycée ...

Recommend to visit it to breath the air of Alexander Puskin's life. Small and interesting

Because God is here
