The Peterhof Palace
The Peterhof Palace is a series of palaces and gardens located in Saint Petersburg (Russia), laid out on the orders of Peter the Great.
These palaces and gardens are sometimes referred to as the Russian Versailles.
The palace-ensemble along with the city center is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The dominant natural feature of Peterhof is a sixteen-metre-high bluff lying less than a hundred metres from the shore.
Atop the bluff, stands the Grand Palace (Bolshoi Dvorets).

Is Versailles better than Peterhof Palace? Travel Vlog Day #107a
DAY 107a // October 16, 2017 // Paris, France
Part 2 (Paris food):
It was interesting to compare Peterhof Palace & Versailles, as Peter the Great actually tried to make Peterhof more grand than Versailles.
Our opinion on which is better may have been changed had we seen the fountains on at Versailles.
Our time in Russia, Peterhof Palace (Day 76):
Favorite was actually St. Catherine's palace in Russia - Peter the Great had built this for his wife:

The Winter Palace of Peter the Great
The Winter Palace of Peter the Great is a unique architectural monument of the first quarter of the 18th century. The official residence of Peter I was located on the territory now occupied by the Hermitage Theatre. In the part of the palace which has been preserved, there is a memorial exhibition dedicated to Peter the Great and his time. In his rooms - the study, the dining room and the turnery - decoration has been recreated using genuine items that belonged to the Emperor. So-called 'Wax effigy,' a posthumous sculptural portrait of Peter I, has been also put on display.
UNESCO World Heritage: Peterhof Gardens/Fountains, St Petersburg, Russia
After arriving on hydrofoil, we witnessed the spectacular turning on of the Grand Cascade and the Samson Fountain. The fountains are turned on each morning accompanied by the music of Hymn to the Great City. The Peterhof gardens have a unique fountain system that requires no pumps. Water for the fountains is supplied by a gravity-fed water system, 22km long, skilfully designed to exploit the natural slope of the terrain. This system operates no pumps and supplies enough water to the fountains and cascades of Peterhof to keep them working for up to ten hours a day.
The palace and its grounds have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are among the most popular tourist attractions in St. Petersburg. There is a good reason it is called the Capital of Russian Fountains. The gardens include many fountains such as Sun Fountain, Chess Mountain (Dragon Hill), Trick Fountains etc.

Russia Winter Palace Inside Views PART 2
Russia Winter Palace Inside Views PART 2. The Winter Palace is one of the most splendid buildings in St. Petersburg. Almost all the Romanovs starting from Catherine the Great resided there. The palace had hundreds of rooms; many of them were State Halls the interiors of which are preserved till the present days and open to visitors. When you are inside of these miraculous halls you'll have a strong sensation of having got back to the times of the emperors. When you take the magnificent State Gala Staircase covered with a red velvet carpet and decorated with sculptures, huge mirrors, ceiling paintings, marble, gilded wood carvings - all to the baroque style - you are going to feel yourself one of the astonished guests invited to the pompous balls and receptions held in the Winter Palace. They had never before imagined such richness and splendor. Candles were lit in the vast Great Throne Room where the Emperor and Empress as well as Grand Dukes received their guests. Nobody was forgotten. The provincial nobility was received in the Emblem Hall covered all over with gilded bronze and sparkling in the candlelight.

CATHERINE PALACE | BEST Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia
Today, Katie and I visited Catherine Palace just outside of St. Petersburg, Russia. It was an incredible day and one of the better palaces we've visited around the world. Extremely beautiful and opulent!
This palace was owned by Peter the Great, then Elizabeth the I, and then Catherine the Great!
The Amber Room was a highlight and very interesting to see. It has great significance in the history and the original room was stolen and never recovered.
We enjoyed touring the beautiful gold rooms and palace grounds today. Peterhof may have incredible fountains, but by comparison the palace itself at Catherine Palace is much more impressive!!
Make sure you buy your tickets in advance and likely join a group tour to keep things easy as this palace lines up for HOURS out front. It's not worth the wait if you can just walk in with a tour guide.
Stay tuned - tomorrow we head to Peterhof to compare the two palaces and grounds.

City of the Tsars: 7 Facts about Saint Petersburg
Please consider supporting this channel via Patreon, by accessing the link bellow. Any contribution is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Social Media:
------------------------------------------------
More information about the video content bellow:
1. St Petersburg is one of the most visited cities in Russia, attracting tourists for many reasons. Some come for the architecture, some for the history and others to experience the rich culture.
2. St Petersburg was founded by Tsar Peter I. It is widely believed that the name was chosen to honour himself. But in actual fact, the city was named after the tsar’s patron saint, the apostle Saint Peter. After World War I, there was widespread anti-German sentiment, and so the city’s name was changed to Petrograd, which sounded less Germanic than Sankt Peterburg. Following the socialist revolution, the city was renamed again to Leningrad, to honour the communist revolutionary, Vladimir Lenin. The city’s name finally reverted back to St Petersburg after the fall of the Soviet Union.
3. St Petersburg used to be Russia’s capital city. Just 10 years after the city was founded, St Petersburg became Russia’s new capital city in 1712. Except for a brief four-year hiatus, the city would remain the country’s capital for the next 200 years. It was only during the Revolution of 1917, when the country started to cut itself off from its imperial history, that Moscow regained its title as Russia’s capital city.
4. The Winter Palace was the official residence of the Russian Emperors from 1732 to 1917. The palace was constructed on a monumental scale that was intended to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia. The storming of the palace in 1917, as depicted in Soviet propaganda art and Sergei Eisenstein's 1927 film October, became an iconic symbol of the Russian Revolution.
5. It would take more than 10 years to see the entire Hermitage. About three million people visit the Hermitage Museum annually, but none has ever seen the whole, vast collection of Russia’s most famous museum. It is estimated that if a visitor spent around one minute at each exhibit, it would take more than a decade to go round the entire museum.
6. 10% of the total area of St. Petersburg is covered with water. The city is located on 42 islands, has over 300 bridges. Tsar Peter I envisioned the city to be like Venice, where its citizens would move around by boat.
7. During the Second World War, while St Petersburg was still known as Leningrad, German forces surrounded the city, cutting off entry and exit points. Hitler had planned to hold a celebratory banquet at the Astoria Hotel once he conquered the city. Despite the odds, he never succeeded. People were starving and surviving freezing temperatures without access to water or electricity, for almost 900 days. Millions of civilians died, but they were determined to protect their city until the end. Local radio stations played the sound of a ticking metronome so that locals knew that their city’s heart was still beating. Beneath The Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad you can still hear the city’s beating heart.

Pushed to Insanity
Most Awesome Palace and Mansion in Russia
Russian palaces are each splendid and obscene. They’re splendid due to their healthiness’, scale and luxury. They’re obscene as a result of they’re a reminder of the brutal thralldom that plagued the society for many years. After all, a lone palace owner mightn’t look after such homes… it needed a military of virtual slaves UN agency worked day and night all of their life so one family could sleep in luxury.
Without a doubt, the illustrious Russian wood palace seen higher than and below is my favorite Russian palace. The design, workmanship and scale are second-to-none. whereas most palaces were made of brick and stone, the wood palace bucked the trend nevertheless doesn't lack in healthiness and splendor.
While a number of the Russian palaces ar distinctive, most emulate several of the palaces and manor homes designed throughout Europe. One distinction tho' is that the influence of Asian style within the design.
Sit back and revel in the splendor from year’s agone, nevertheless being aware of the good suffering endured by uncountable individuals to construct and maintain these homes. FYI – I don’t mean to single out Russian monarchs and nobility because the solely oppressive system… oppression dominated the day throughout Europe and far of the globe. Moreover, whereas we have a tendency to prefer to suppose we’ve return an extended manner since thralldom, market economy leads to its own type of economic slavery.
Catherine palace Екатерининский дворец - Tsarskoye Selo Царское Село
The Tsarskoye Selo palace and State Museum Preserve is a superb monument of world ranking architecture, garden and park design dating from the eighteenth to early twentieth centuries. A whole constellation of outstanding architects, sculptors and painters made the ideas of their crowned clients a reality here. Tsarskoye Selo is a cluster of very fine examples of Baroque and Classical architecture and it was also the first place in the Russian capital where interiors decorated in the Moderne (Art Nouveau) style appeared.
The compositional centre of the ensemble is the Catherine Palace – a splendid example of Russian Baroque. Visitors are enraptured by the sumptuous décor of the Great Hall and the Golden Enfilade of state rooms that includes the world famous Amber Room now returned to life. Today, as we enter the palace, we can sense the spirit of the times of Empresses Elizabeth and Catherine II and admire unique works of fine and applied art.
Tsarskoye Selo is also home to one of the finest creations of Classicism in architecture – the Alexander Palace. Passing through the rooms of the living apartments that are open to visitors, you can get an idea of the aesthetic preferences of the last members of the Romanov dynasty and view the Emperor’s State Study that was decorated in the Moderne style.
More than a hundred historical monuments are scattered across the Catherine and Alexander Parks that have a joint area of 300 hectares: there are grand palaces and intimate pavilions, bridges and marble monuments, and also exotic structures imitating Gothic, Turkish and Chinese architecture that invest little corners of the parks with a romantic atmosphere.
