Alexander Park is a picturesque English landscape garden adjacent to the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo. Designed in the 18th century, it features winding paths, artificial ponds, romantic bridges, and charming pavilions like the Chinese Village and the White Tower. Visitors enjoy leisurely strolls beneath ancient oaks, past the Gothic Chapel and the Arsenal building. The park's naturalistic layout contrasts with the formal French gardens of the Catherine Park, offering a peaceful retreat with glimpses of imperial history.
