Not too expensive and it's really really good, so many fountains. So many views. So much green. But during peak times it can get crowded. And so many people taking photos. The big museum is for additional fee, but even the garden is difficult to visit all in one day.

Great but a bit smaller than expected. Takes around 15 mins to walk the entire complex on your own, 45 if part of a tour. Summer season still on as of writing, so separate tickets for the garden, then the palace complex for 3,200 RUB total. You need the garden ticket to enter the compound, turn left, then enter the palace building. No line at ticket counters on a weekday 2 PM. Practically empty. Just 3-4 tour groups and they move fast.

This place is a must see, we had a great time and the weather was amazing. Prepare for long walk all around the park and lots of fountains perfect for the kids.

expensive because you will need 2 ticket just to go inside and for museum separately as well, long walks and expensive water bottles and food. Must say amazing architecture

Opulence turned into landscape. The palace feels like it was built just to prove what human hands can do when given no limits. Golden statues everywhere, fountains that move with impossible precision, and that long axis leading straight to the sea, pure theater. Inside, it’s mirrors, chandeliers, and silence heavy with history. Outside, it’s joy and spectacle. You walk away a little dazzled, a little jealous, and completely convinced that beauty can be engineered.

Fable-like palace displaying the power and richness of the czars. The lavish interiors and the gigantic gardens with their water-plays are a testament to an era of nearly infinite wealth (for them of course not for the country). Impressive

We were on a cruise thru the Baltic Sea and one of the main stops was in St Petersburg. We had most of the day and had a great all day tour organized by the ship. One of the highlights was the Peterhof Palace and gardens. We had tickets in hand arranged by the cruise tour group. The palace was very nice but the gardens were spectacular. Just amazing and so perfectly maintained.

The Grand Cascade is the most remarkable feature in a stunning garden full of water displays. Its gravity-based mechanism (still the original one, if I correctly recall) provides a spectacular water-jets show at fixed hours (11 am in the morning back in 2018). Magnificent during a sunny day !

Grand Cascade at PeterHof. Site was selected as it allowed the water to drain from the higher hill slopes to the fountains and then to the Gulf of Finland. Looks good in summer and it must be pretty cold and frozen over in winter. The buildings, paths and fountains around this Grand Cascade are all arranged symmetrically.

very good place to visit. all fountains were working. colourful flowers. Battery operated vehicles for persons who cannot walk.

Great place. You can see The Gulf of Finland, many fountains and parks. But the best option to go to this place on a sunny day

One of the best places I have been to, but you should check the forecast before going ^^

Oh boy oh boy! This cascade is just breathtaking! Such a grandiose place! Love it!

Absolutely stunning

Stunning and certainly better than my bird bath fountain at home. It is also known as "Samson Tearing the Lion's Jaws and clearly is the centerpiece of the Grand Cascade at Peterhof Palace. It was originally designed by Bartolomeo Rastrelli and installed in 1735. It symbolizes Russia's victory over Sweden in the Great Northern War, with Samson representing Russia and the lion representing Sweden. Interestingly the fountain features a powerful jet of water that reaches up to 21 meters high

Best place, been there few times, my wife went first time amazing.

The most beautiful place in saint Petersburg

Samson fontain is the central fontain in Peterhov. Fontain reaches 21 meters.

It's definitely the most beautiful fountain of the whole park. Don't miss the moment when everybody's here to see the launch of them. The crowd is more interesting than what is really happening. Then choose a way to walk around the park and come back here when the crowd is completely gone.

Wonderful place to visit.

A lovely Garden from the imperial Russian emperor during autumn. I capture the rainbow by lucky. don't expect to walk the whole garden, but do visit the palace and walk to the sea, far better than the palace in France.

Stellar

(Translated by Google) The museum itself is located on the shore of the bay and looks very picturesque. Very close to the pier, so it's crowded there. For yacht lovers it is definitely worth a visit. (Original) Сам музей находится на берегу залива и смотрится очень живописно. Совсем рядом с пристанью, поэтому многолюдно там. Для любителей яхт в него точно стоит зайти.

(Translated by Google) Small museum, next to the pier. (Original) Небольшой музей, рядом с пристанью.

Restaurant, Duck and Drake has rip-off culture. I asked if I could change the type of potatoes with my meal from fried potato wheels to small amount of French fries. I was told that I would have to pay the price on the menu for the fries as a side dish. The beer comes as 0.5 litre, but only 7/8th full, profit of 100% on every 7 or 8th glass (not bad). One meal states you may order a side dish with it, but you are then charged for the side dish. As a foreign guest, I felt that I was getting special treatment, but not the nice one, whether they just don't like the British or it's more general. I ordered items on a number of occasions before local people, but received them after the local people. The room had tea making facility, but the hotel would provide creamer or instant coffee sachets. I could only use the swimming pool while I was out during the day working, not in the evening when I was in the hotel,.

Good for wedding couples - mine was in 29 Aug 2017 in St Petersburg Russia, and we stayed in that Hotel with my spouse and her dear friend.

Good hotel with good breakfast. And gym available for guests free of charge. Spa services available for cost

Nice in the summer, lovely breakfast buffet, but no kettle in the room.

The staff and amenities are exceptional for being on the far north side of St Petersburg! Very much worth the trip!

Nice food. Room service might be more attentive.

Pleaant hotel near Peterhof palace. Good place to stay.

Amazing place, even served us after closing time

prices above average but meals are good

Felt the delicious and stylish Russian cuisine here

The Best

Cosy and quite

(Translated by Google) An incredible cafe, completely invisible from the road, but it’s worth coming here to eat and enjoy the delicious food and beautiful decoration of the hall!!! The prices are very affordable! The food is truly incredible! Thank you and we will recommend your cafe to everyone! (Original) Невероятное кафе,совсем незаметное с дороги но сюда стоит приехать поесть и получить удовольствие от очень вкусной еды и прекрасного оформления зала!!! Цены очень доступные! Еда реально бесподобная! Благодарим и будем всем рекомендовать ваше кафе!

(Translated by Google) The main thing is to get there by taxi if you left the park on Avrova Street! Having looked at the map and the beautiful houses around, we decided that we would walk, but we did not notice that the path lies along a neuropsychiatric boarding school, through two forests and along houses with big loud dogs... Do not trust the maps, it is better to take a taxi, the place is worth it. The interior has a soul, there is no feeling of chain city restaurants, it is clean and cozy, the staff is friendly. We ordered fish on a spinach bed, eggplant salad and delicious tea with fruits. The fish is tender, the spinach is delicious. The salad was fresh, there was too much sauce for me (balsamic, probably), I do not often eat spicy food, but my friend liked it, and she is picky. The Aromatic tea was 😍💜🌸 I liked everything very much. I took some cocoa for the road, we made it)) We want to continue exploring the parks of Peterhof and the Home cafe menu 😊 thank you ❤️ (Original) Главное, добираться на такси, если вы вышли из парка на ул. Аврова! Посмотрев на карту и красивые домики вокруг мы решили, что дойдём пешком, но не посмотрели, что путь лежит вдоль психоневрологического интерната, через два леса и вдоль домов с большими громкими собаками... Не верьте картам, лучше на такси, место того стоит. Интерьер с душой, нет этого чувства сетевых городских ресторанчиков, чисто и уютно, приветливый персонал. Заказывали рыбу на подушке из шпината, салат с баклажанами и вкусный чай с фруктами. Рыбка нежная, шпинат вкусненький. Салат был свежий, для меня соуса было многовато(бальзамический, наверное), я не ем часто острое, но подруге понравилось, а она привередливая. Чай Ароматный был 😍💜🌸 Все очень понравилось. В дорогу взяла себе какао, сделали)) Хотим продолжить изучать парки Петергофа и меню Home cafe 😊 спасибо ❤️

Lovely staff and great food. Yes the price is high but that is to be expected within the area of Peterhof.

The idea of a buffet is great and I was totally grateful to finally eat after a whole day walking around the park, but somehow the quality of the food doesn't swipe off your feet... The fish was amazing but the French fries were a bit soggy and pickles didn't really taste like pickles. I guess some problems can be ascribed to the very idea of a buffet and food just lying around all day. But the dessert was nice :) My biggest complaint is about the price. You can get a nice buffet food in Marketplace in the centre for much less money.

We had a good experience with the ala carte buffet option here before our tour of the Peterhof gardens. My borscht soup and attendant sides of herbed potatoes and mixed vegetables were all delicious and it was a good option for a light meal prior to our sightseeing. We also appreciated the relaxing outdoor seating options in this thickly forested area near the seaside. I wouldn’t mind going back for another bowl of that borscht. Keep an eye out for the pigeons that waddle around. They tend to think you should treat them to your meal. Anyhow, stop by here if you need a quick bite. I thought it worth it.

Amazing food! We had a very nice Russian waiter (very bilingual, which was also impressing) who took time to explain the menu and the specialties of each dish, where it came from etc. We tried different meat dishes and I was very surprised, they were just delicious! Perhaps not the place to eat on budget but food there is worth every rubla. Although we went there on high season I do think they could improve some on the waiting time.

The worst experience so far in St. Petersburg! The restaurant is overpriced for the type food and service that you are getting. You are better off buying something from a street vender. It took 50 min to get our order from the time we ordered it. When it finally came out everything was cold and subpar quality. When I told them that I don’t have time to drink my tea because it took too long to bring it out and we had to make it to our tour around the park, the server took the tea back but didn’t take it out of the final check! I’ve never seen that kind of service anywhere. Also, 10% tip was automatically included because we had 6 people at the table. Steer clear of that place unless you want food that taste horrible and is cold when it’s served for premium prices

I have no idea why this isn't the highest rated restaurant in all of Saint Peteesburg area. I should review more often, and especially for exceptional experiences. That being said this place demanded a review, absolutely the besr meal of my life. The service the quality the atmosphere nothing is missing.

Such a surprise after seeing the bad ratings on Google! I have had a Borscht soup and a very delicious Chicken ("Chicken of tobacco"), which was very tender inside, crispy and flavourful on the outside, with rosmary potatoes and Salsa. The service was fast and well-organized. Definitely recommended!

A beautiful summer picnic on the way to the Peterhoff mansion we spent with friends a good time we had lunch and had tea, and we took some pictures, to remember these beautiful places in their pleasant atmosphere and good hospitality.

This is a restaurant with local foods. We enjoyed hot chicken soup. Nice salads and well done roasted beef.

Best i have eaten in Russia so far. Our waiter was very polite anx patient tried is possible best to explain the menu in english. Highly recommended if you are visiting Peterhof palace

Nice food, very spacious restaurant. Enjoyed our time there

restaurant is specialized in lunches for tourist groups. Food has good quality and service attentive.

The place really nice. The food so so. The service really great!

Basic food. Clean and well run venue. Helpful staff

I came here around one year ago and it was a good restaurant and good sitting arrangements but now it turns over a fast food shop and the price is very very high then normal. I had no other way then this shop but I don't recommend. Because this is the only good place you can eat and sit. They are playing Monopoly.

Good location and food is quite good. Asian dishes are surprisingly better than western ones.

It is near the garden and its prices are good. The atmosphere is plesent and there is some waiters can speak english. We had shawerma there that its taste was very good. The cakes are deliciouse too.

I have been here before and I rated it 5 stars then. A year later, I came back with so much excitement but was let down in every sense. The entire restaurant has changed, it's a self service restaurant now. The variety is no longer there and prices are through the roof. They are selling pretty well due to the location but I'd suggest avoiding it if possible

The only possibility to eat something on the way from the palace to the tour bus in winter. Free Wi-Fi, credit cards, English menu with photos. The food is authentic casual Russian. The staff doesn't always speaks English.

Good location near Petergof park. Better take “cheburek”, as this they special and tasty. Very quick service.

Good food, fast serving, nice staff.
