Tsarskoye Selo

Tsarskoye Selo is one of the best estates in St. Petersburg. The estate has two palaces, both of which have gardens with beautiful fountains. The estate was built in the 18th century for Russian Empress Elizabeth and have become famost among Russian travel fans.

Catherine and Alexander palaces are located in the estate. Catherina palace is one of the most wonderful palaces, preserved till our times. Some of the hotels in St. Petersburg Russia are offering tours to the estate, but it is better to arrange a tour before time. The palace represents Baroque architectural style and has one of the luxurious interiors in Europe. Alexander Palace was built according to the order of Russian Empress Catherine the Great for her grandson Alexander. The palace was built in neoclassical style and was one of the most popular ones among Russian elite.

The town of Pushkin, which surrounds the estate was named after great Russian poet Alexnader Sergeevich Pushkin in the Soviet times. The city has numerous kinds of sights connected with life and works of the great Russian poet. I would recomend those going on Saint Petersburg travel to arrange a visit to this beautiful sight.
