Pushkin (Tsarskoye Selo) is the former residence of the Russian tsars, which was called “capital in capital” before the revolution of 1917. The ensemble is 25 km to the south of St.Petersburg and is famous for its beautiful palaces and wonderful parks with various pavilions and monuments. Today the museum complex has over 20 000 exhibits. The center of the architectural composition is the luxurious Great Catherine Palace with the famous amber room, which has been recently restored.

Pavlovskis located 27 km from St.Petersburg. This wonderful summer residence of the Russian tsars is a wonderful example of the Russian Classicism of the end of the 18^th- beginning 19^th centuries. Simple in its appearance the Grand Palace still has an air of austere grandeur. Built for Paul I, the most enigmatic figure in Russian history, the palace boasts of its collection of the tsar’s personal belongings.

Pavlovsk Park - one of the largest in the world – spreads over an area of 600 hectares. Picturesque towers and summer-houses, romantic pavilions, decorative bridges, sculptures and terraces are scattered there.
