Beautiful
We loved exploring more of St. Petersburg and the gardens of Catherine’s Palace! We would recommend Catherine’s Palace over Peterhof Palace if you could ONLY visit one. But Peterhof was also magnificent too! Catherine’s was more affordable and less crowded.
In this video:
We explore more of St. Petersburg – there’s so much to see!!!
Wonder around the sprawling gardens of Catherine’s Palace in Pushkin
 Grab some dinner at Kafe Barbaris
