GoOur address: Saint Petersburg, Vosstaniya St. 1
As soon as the "Meteor" departs from the pier on Palace Embankment, the bustle of the big city is left behind, dissolving in the steady hum of the engines.
The wind tousles your hair, throwing salty Neva spray into your face—here, before the Gulf of Finland, it already feels the breath of the Baltic. The city slowly recedes, revealing itself from a new angle: you see firsthand how Peter I cut a window to Europe, gazing at this expanse of water.
Speed increases. The Spit of Vasilyevsky Island, monumental bridges, piers, and yachts flash by. And then St. Petersburg remains only a golden line of spires and domes on the horizon, while before you lies the boundless expanse of the gulf. The sky dome merges with the water, and it seems the vessel is hovering between two elements.
And suddenly, like a mirage, the shore emerges from the haze. First—silver streams of fountains soaring above the trees, then—the gold of the Grand Palace domes. Approaching the pier, you realize: you have arrived not just in a suburb, but at a legend, at the capital of fountains awaiting its triumph.
If you want not just to get to Peterhof on the Meteor, but to see the main sights of the imperial residence with a guided tour, choose one of the ready-made routes from Leningrad Tour.
Want to see Peterhof as fully as possible—choose the excursion with the Grand Palace and fountains. If a walk through the Lower Park, cascades, and water fun is more important—the excursion to the Peterhof fountains will suit you.
