Country bus tour to Oranienbaum with a tour of the Bolshoy Menshikov Palace and the Roller Coaster.
Meeting with the guide at the metro station Gostiny Dvor.
Departure for the tour at 11:45.
On the shore of the Gulf of Finland, ten kilometers west of Peterhof, there is the Oranienbaum, a palace and park ensemble in Lomonosov, a satellite city of St. Petersburg.
We will drive with you along the Peterhof road – the ceremonial "perspektiva" of imperial residences, grand ducal estates and dachas, take a walk through Oranienbaum Park, where there are no cascades and fountains, but there is "a charming system of terraces elegantly descending to the stalls in front of the sea and whimsically playing with the winding lines of their railings."
We will visit the Bolshoy Menshikov Palace and the Skating Slide 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 trip.
