Peterhof Palace and Garden Saint Petersburg

Notable features of the Peterhof Palace and Gardens include the many fountains strewn throughout that feature elaborate stonework and an immaculate sense of design. Many of the fountains incorporate beautiful sculptures, such as the famous “Samson and the Lion” depicting a powerful scene from the Bible with special significance to Russians. Be sure also to visit the centerpiece of the entire layout, the Grand Palace, which features not only period French design on the interior, but also quite a few instances of excellent period artwork from German artists that depict famous Russian battles and legends.
