During our first day in St. Pertersburg Russia we took a tour of Peterhof Palace. It was a bit of a drive, but along the way we were able to see a lot of pretty churches and other buildings as well as listen to some of the history of this interesting city.
At Peterhof there were many fountains, manicured gardens and palaces to see. Peterhof is actually a series of palaces and gardens located in St. Petersburg by the order of Peter the Great. Peter the Great cared a lot about his image and wanted an extravagant place to take his honored guests.
We rode on this fun train to see some of the other palaces and gardens at Peterhof.
Fun re-enactments and activities for the children (we unfortunately didn't have time to participate).
Though it was a very hot day in St. Petersburg we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the beauty and culture of the palaces and gardens at Peterhof.
