Peterhof Grand Palace and Lower Park Private Tour

Peterhof was founded by Peter the Great as Russia’s answer to Versailles.  Peter the Great is famous for the westernization of the country, and the main purpose of this particular residence was to impress foreign guests and to show that Russia was able to compete with Europe in architecture and park design. The Peterhof Upper Gardens and Lower Park are genuine masterpieces of landscape design.

They include over 150 fountains and 4 monumental cascades. What differentiates Peterhof’s fountains from those of Versailles is that the water runs using its natural pressure without any pumps — the idea belonged to Peter the Great and it still works!

The Grand Palace dominates on the park. This truly impressive building was the official summer residence of several Russian Tsars. This is why the interiors are made up of different architectural styles deriving from different époques.
