The Peterhof landing stage is a historic pier on the Gulf of Finland, originally built to welcome tsars and dignitaries arriving by sea. Today, it remains the primary entry point for visitors taking hydrofoils from St. Petersburg. As you approach, you'll see the Grand Palace rising above the terraced gardens, offering a dramatic first glimpse. The landing stage itself features elegant 19th-century architecture and provides a scenic spot to watch boats come and go. It's a unique way to experience Peterhof, arriving like royalty across the water.
