Peterhof visited, Lower Park, where fountains. It works from 9.00 to 20.00 (tickets - until 19.30). The cost of tickets is different, depends on citizenship, age, benefits. For citizens of Russia: adults - 450 rubles, preferential - 250 rubles. It is useful to have a passport and other documents confirming your possible benefits. On the territory of the lower park, many small museums in which the tickets must be purchased separately. You can just walk through the park, enjoy a variety of fountains, well-kept park compositions, the coast of the Gulf of Finland.
Peterhof Translated from German - Petrov House. The history of this wonderful place with a summer house built on the shore of the Gulf began. It is still saved so far, you can visit it. Now the main attraction here is the so-called big cascade. This is the sequence of grottoes and fountains, descending to the bay, built by the plan of Peter I in 1715-1724. Of course, a big cascade is the main impression of the excursion and not conveyed to words, you have to see.
We bought an excursion to an electric car (a ticket for 1 person. - 800 rubles.). For 35 minutes Under the audio list the guide traveled at the main places of the lower park. Not tired and saw a lot. Then they already walked on their own, rested in the pavilion from one of the fountains under his soothing noise.
There are several cafes on site, you can dine or snack, there are also free toilets.
We were lucky with the weather, there was a warm sunny day, they wanted to leave windbreakers and sweatshirts in the car. It is good that they took with you, because closer to the bay a strong wind, raw and cool, the whole bay was covered with lamb waves. True, it did not prevent some accommodation among the stones right on the shore with the plaids and snacks taken from home.
We really liked the excursion, I recommend everyone to visit anything!
