Majestic and magical, St. Petersburg is Russia’s cultural capital – a beautifully preserved imperial city built in the 18th and 19th centuries, and celebrated for ornate architecture in brilliant hues of yellow, blue and green. With formal grandeur in its layout of buildings and parks, the city is woven with a network of canals, earning it frequent comparisons to Venice.

Landmark location

Prominently located in the historic Admiralteysky district, Four Seasons Hotel Lion Palace St. Petersburg provides a convenient base for exploring the city.

The Palaces of St. Petersburg

[Accommodation image]

Peterhof

One of St. Petersburg's most popular attractions, the palace and park at Peterhof (also known as Petrodvorets) are often referred to as "the Russian Versaille." Indeed, Peter the Great took his inspiration from Versaille when he chose to build the imperial palace, which now includes a famous system of fountains, including the truly spectacular Grand Cascade. Like almost all of St. Petersburg's suburban estates, Peterhof was ravaged by German troops during the Second World War. Thanks to the work of military engineers and over 1,000 volunteers, most of the estate's major structures had been fully restored by 1947.

Pavlovsk

Presented to Tsar Pavel by his mother, Catherine the Great, Pavlovsk is the youngest of the grand imperial estates around St. Petersburg, and covers 362 desyatinas (607 hectares, or 1500 acres) of land around the Slavyanskaya River. While it may lack the dazzling splendour of the estates at Tsarskoe Selo and Peterhof, Pavlovsk is well worth visiting both for the treasures in the elegant palace and for the charming, rambling park, which is one of the largest and finest English-style landscaped gardens outside the UK.

Gatchina Palace and Park

Gatchina is probably the most lived-in royal residence of imperial Russia, with four tsars considering it their family home. During the Revolution and Civil War, Gatchina was the site of two major events: the final fall of Kerensky's Provisional Government in 1917, and Trotsky's defeat of the final advance of the White Army from Estonia in July 1919. The palace and park were opened to the public soon after the Revolution, and served as a museum until occupied by the Nazis in 1941. As elsewhere, occupation brought severe damage to the palace and park, and restoration work still continues over 60 years later.

Yusupov Palace

Yusupov Palace, the family mansion of the noble Yusupov family, is considered to be one of St. Petersburg's most beautiful palaces, and its wonderful Rococo theatre is still used for concerts. The palace is perhaps most well known as the site of the murder of Grigory Rasputin, the "mad monk" who was killed in December 1916 by Prince Yusupov and others loyal to Nicholas II, who believed Rasputin had a mystical hold over Empress Alexandra that was damaging the imperial family.

Pushkin

The town of Pushkin is St. Petersburg's most charming suburb. Renamed in Soviet times to honour Russia's greatest poet, the town has numerous sights connected to Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, including a museum in the former Imperial Lycee, where he was schooled.

Museums

The Russian Museum

Established in 1895, the Russian Museum is the country’s first state museum for fine arts. With more than 40,000 exhibits, the museum traces the entire history of Russian art from the 10th century to today, across all media and styles.

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood was built between 1883 and 1907 to commemorate the place where, on March 1, 1881, the Russian Emperor Alexander II was assassinated. The church is richly decorated, and is the only one in the world completely covered by mosaics both inside and out.

[Accommodation image]

Mariinsky Theatre

Since it opened in 1860, Mariinsky Theatre has been one of St. Petersburg’s foremost venues for opera and ballet. Fully restored in 1944, the theatre continues to play host to some of Russia’s most celebrated classical performers. 

[Accommodation image]

St. Isaac’s Cathedral

Built in the 19th century to be St. Petersburg’s main church and the largest cathedral in Russia, St. Isaac’s, with its gilded dome, remains one of the city’s most prominent landmarks. With its malachite and lapis lazuli columns and detailed mosaics, the cathedral’s grandeur remains intact. Visitors may climb the 300 steps to the observation deck at the dome’s base for breathtaking city views.
