Immerse yourself in autumn Petersburg, where the luxury of the Yusupov Palace and the whispers of imperial balls are replaced by the extravaganza of the "Fountain Festival" in Peterhof. Under the thunder of the Grand Cascade, lights, lasers and pyrotechnics will come to life – for the only time a year, the water element dances with fire until midnight, turning the park into a space installation.
On the third day, you will find the harsh romance of Kronstadt: the giant naval cathedral, similar to Hagia Sophia, and the futuristic Museum of Naval Glory near nuclear submarines. The Alley of Heroes and the lighthouse of memory on the "Island of Forts" will remind you of those who discovered Antarctica, and the panoramic swing will give you a view of the endless bay – and the penguin will fulfill your wish.
An enchanting multimedia show awaits you, in which the grandeur of the ancient architecture and fountains of Peterhof will be combined with a large-scale installation.

Visit the giant Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt, similar to Constantinople's Hagia Sophia, where you will feel like part of a naval epic.
