Enjoy a lazy stroll around shady alleys, lined with beautiful sculptures of the Summer and Michailovskyi gardens, that were formerly a part of the third Summer garden. See the place where Peter himself planted trees and designed the layout of his future garden, which was to rival Versailles. Find out stories, connected with the House of Romanov's dynasty, which ruled Russia till the XX-th century. Each path and smallest nook of those gardens witnessed events that were surrounded by intrigue, mysterious plots and even murder.
Visit one of the most Romantic places in St.Petersburg, St. Michael's castle, which was designed by Paul I in order to protect himself from plotters, but still he could not escape his destiny and died a tragic death in accordance with all the prophecies that predicted it. See Saviour on the Blood, a Russian-style cathedral, which was built on the same exact spot where Alexandr II (the liberator) was blown up by a bomb, thrown by the hand of a terrorist. |
