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.

ここの庭園を挟んで正面に駐車場があり、150pで停めさせていただき、エカテリーナ宮殿まで歩いて行きました。 雪の中、わざわざ、領収書をもってきてくれてありがたかったです。 (Translated by Google) There is a parking lot in front of the garden, so I parked it for 150p and walked to Catherine Palace. I was grateful that you went out of your way to bring me the receipt in the snow.

I use to dream of being trapped under ice. Alive not dead, people would shoot at me. When I wonder where I was running for my life. I will never run,I have a bad limp. NazDrovie comrades
