Alexander Palace served as the primary residence of Emperor Nicholas II and his family. Unlike the opulent Catherine Palace, this neoclassical retreat feels more personal, with rooms preserved as they were in the early 20th century. Visitors can see the private apartments, including the study and children’s rooms, and learn about the family’s daily life before their exile. The palace provides a poignant contrast to the grandeur of nearby Catherine Palace, focusing on the human story behind the monarchy.
Don't miss
- The private study of Nicholas II, with original furnishings.
- The Maple Room, used for family gatherings and tea.
- The exhibition on the Romanov family’s final years.
