If you have even the only day in St. Petersburg you can not miss the visit to at least one of the summer Royal residences in the city suburbs. Palaces and parks are open year round (though the fountains of Peterhoff run May to October), and thus if you are coming to St. Petersburg in the winter time, our recommendation for you will be Catherine Palace in Tsarskoe Selo (Pushkin) and Paul’s Palace in Pavlovsk.
