The palace, parks, fountains and grottoes of Peterhof on tours

Peterhof is the main seaside residence of the Russian emperors. On a vast territory of 414 hectares, architecture, gardens and the water element come together: more than 150 fountains, 255 sculptures gleaming with gilding, the Grand Palace, cascades, grottoes, the Lower Park and a view of the gulf.

What You Will See on a Peterhof Tour

In Peterhof you will see the Grand Peterhof Palace and the large Lower Park, which is home to the city's main symbols: the Grand Cascade, the grottoes, the Samson Fountain and more than 150 other fountains. You will also be able to see the Upper (Small) Park and the small palaces, including Peter I's favourite palace, Monplaisir, stroll through the eastern and western parts of the park to the Chessboard Hill and Golden Hill cascades, and experience the trick fountains for yourself.

Why Peterhof Is Chosen Most Often

  • Peterhof is the most popular suburb of St Petersburg, visited by more than 5,000,000 people every year.
  • It is the largest and most famous palace and park ensemble in Russia, with a vast territory of 414 hectares.
  • You can choose a format to suit your interests: the large Lower Park and fountains, the full programme or only the Upper Park and the palace. You can also visit the grottoes separately.
  • The route delivers vivid visual impressions and combines architecture, a stroll, history and striking views.
  • A bus trip to Peterhof is convenient for tourists and guests of the city.
  • In summer you can choose the Grand Peterhof Programme by Meteor.

Peterhof is a rare place where palace architecture, water and landscape design are perceived as a single whole. What matters here is not only what you see, but also how the space unfolds: first the strict ceremonial grandeur, then the expanse of the park, and after that the sound of water, the sparkle of fountains and wide vistas stretching towards the gulf.

That is why trips to Peterhof from St Petersburg remain among the most in demand: the route gives a vivid, memorable and very cohesive impression that works equally well for a first visit and for a return trip.

Popular questions about Peterhof

What to see in Peterhof?

First, the Lower Park with golden fountains, water cascades, hundreds of sculptures and access to the sea. Children love running through the trick fountains. Second, you can see the Grand Imperial Palace and the Upper Park. Third, the grottoes (grotto visits are conducted in small groups and the ticket is purchased separately), which are located inside the cascades and offer a view of the large Samson Fountain. Additionally, you can visit the small palaces of Peterhof.

When is the best time to go to Peterhof?

You can come to Peterhof at any time of year, as the park is beautiful and interesting in its own way in every season. However, if your goal is to see the famous fountains, plan your trip between late April and mid-October. The fountains are opened on April 25.

How much does a trip to Peterhof cost?

The price depends on the chosen program. Bus tours cost from 2,600 to 5,000 rubles depending on whether the route includes a visit to the Grand Palace or just a walk by the fountains. A trip on the high-speed Meteor will cost more – from 5,400 to 8,500 rubles per person, with the most expensive option including a full tour of the state rooms and the park.

Which is better: the Meteor or the bus?

The choice depends on your priorities: the Meteor is best suited for a fast and scenic journey by water with arrival right at the fountains of the Lower Park, while the bus is a more practical and budget-friendly option that allows you to comfortably explore the residence regardless of the weather.

Is it worth going to Peterhof with children?

Yes, Peterhof is great for visiting with children, especially if you choose the fountain-focused format, which is considered the most spectacular and engaging for young visitors. The main attraction for children is the trick fountains, which unexpectedly spray passersby with water, turning a walk into a fun game.

Do I need to buy tickets separately?

No, tickets to Peterhof are already included in the price of the chosen program.

How long does a trip to Peterhof last?

Bus tours from St. Petersburg usually last from 5 to 7.5 hours, with the most packed routes including visits to both the palace and the park with fountains. Meteor trips take about 5–6 hours, of which 40 minutes each way are spent traveling by water.

How to get to Peterhof from St. Petersburg on your own?

You can get to Peterhof on your own by suburban train from Baltiysky Station to Novy Peterhof station, then transfer to a local bus to the park entrance.

The fastest and most scenic way is the Meteor hydrofoil, which takes passengers right to the pier in the Lower Park.
