More Information Photo Galleries Moscow St. Petersburg Pushkin Peterhof Novgorod Kotlin Dikes Sosnovy Bor Video Clips Me Skating in Moscow My Fall in St. Petersburg No visit to St. Petersburg would be complete without a visit to the beautiful palace of Peterhof (also called Petergof, Petrovorets, and Peter's Palace). Peterhof is about 30 kilometers west of St. Petersburg, and I usually travel there by hydrofoil and return home by bus and underground subway. It is possible to skate in Peterhof, but I usually make this a non-skating day trip to give my feet a chance to rest. The main reason to visit Peterhof is to spend the day at Peter's Palace. The palace is a fabulously ornate structure built to rival the Palace of Versailles. You can take a guided tour of the interior of the palace, but I prefer to spend the day strolling through the formal upper gardens and the park-like lower grounds, with more than 150 very unique fountains. If it is a very warm day, I might even decide to climb IN all those fountains and dance in the water sprays (it's a perfectly acceptable thing to do).
