Route and content of the tour
The tour begins at Gatchina where you can easily get to either by car or by public transport, the best choice being the commuter train from the Baltiysky railway station. The ride takes around one hour, Gatchina being located 42 km from St. Petersburg.
Our guide will meet you at the Grand Palace of Gatchina.
The tour features a visit to the Grand Palace. Stylized by Rinaldi as a medieval castle, the palace reflects the romantic character of its once owner, Paul I who is often referred to as the “Russian Hamlet.”
Then your tour will continue in the palace’s landscape park with its Dutch and English Gardens, refined sculptures and pavilions, lakeside wells, and the fairytale-like Priory Palace

Свидетельства очевидцев
Спасибо за то, что сделали экскурсию в Гатчину на автомобиле! В моем возрасте уже сложновато куда-то доехать самостоятельно, а теперь сбылась моя мечта — увидеть Приоратский замок. Он совершенно сказочный! И в остальном тоже все было прекрасно — увидели много красивых мест, услышали массу интересных историй и совсем не устали. Передайте нашу благодарность гиду Марине.
