The Sheremetevs and Stroganovs, the Shuvalovs and Bestuzhevs, and many others not only made a huge contribution to the development of Russia, but also left numerous palaces, temples, and monuments that form the historical appearance and aura of our city.

During the tour, you will visit one of the most luxurious palaces in St. Petersburg, the Yusupov Princes' Palace on the Moika River embankment.

Excursion to the Yusupov Palace. The Yusupov Palace is one of the rare mansions where not only the main halls, but also the private chambers of the owners have survived. The appearance of the palace reflected both the Oriental origin of the owners, as well as the delicate taste and unlimited financial possibilities.

A walk on the island of "New Holland". You will find yourself in a beautiful new public space in the city center, where a New Year's atmosphere reigns. It's incredibly beautiful here during the holidays.

Bus tour to Pavlovsk and Tsarskoye Selo "Suburban imperial residences". Located very close to each other, these two palace and park ensembles have almost nothing in common.

One impresses with grace and dazzling luxury, the other with impeccable taste, harmony and grace.

One was a representative residence, in which the richest decorations were created "for the unified glory of the All–Russian Empire"; the other was a private property of the imperial family - "an ideal place for an ideal life."

Pavlovsk. Guided tour of the Pavlovsk Palace. The Pavlovsk Palace captivates absolutely everyone with its harmony and grace.

Surrounded by a magnificent park in the valley of the picturesque Slavyanka River, it embodies all the originality of the Russian and European artistic culture of the XVIII century.

Pay attention to the collections of watches, mirrors and porcelain items on display.

Stretching for almost 300 meters, the suite of rooms and state halls, richly decorated with intricate carvings and gilding, will certainly not leave you indifferent.

And the "highlight" of the palace is the famous Amber Room.

Driving along the "road among manors", you will feel the flavor of bygone eras. You will find out why, already during the construction of the magnificent park with fountains, the emperor had to move to another place and why two palaces for one king appeared in Strelna at once.

At the end of the 18th century, the Strelninsky ensemble became a country grand ducal residence. Since then, the Bolshoy Strelninsky Palace has been called the Konstantinovsky Palace.

Excursion to the Konstantinovsky Palace. The tour route passes through the suite of state halls and living rooms of the palace with a visit to the official apartments of the President of the Russian Federation and meeting rooms in an informal setting.
