Country bus tour to Oranienbaum with a guided tour of the Bolshoy Menshikov Palace and the Roller Coaster.
Meeting with a guide at the Gostiny Dvor metro station.
Departure for the tour at 11:45.
Oranienbaum, a palace and park complex in Lomonosov, a satellite city of St. Petersburg, is located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, ten kilometers west of Peterhof.
We will drive along the Peterhof Road, the main "perspective" of imperial residences, grand ducal manors and dachas, stroll through Oranienbaum Park, where there are no cascades and fountains, but there is "a charming system of terraces, elegantly descending to the parterre in front of the sea and whimsically playing with the winding lines of its railings."
We will visit the Bolshoy Menshikov Palace and the Skating Rink Pavilion with an excursion, the prototype of roller coasters, because it's not for nothing that they are called "Russian" all over the world.
Transportation is provided for a country tour.
