Tsarskoye Selo

Tsarskoye Selo, a magnificent royal estate in Pushkin, was the summer residence of Russian emperors. Visitors marvel at the baroque Catherine Palace, whose Great Hall and restored Amber Room dazzle with gold and amber panels. The estate also encompasses the neoclassical Alexander Palace and vast landscaped gardens with pavilions and ponds. A visit offers a glimpse into the imperial lifestyle through richly decorated state rooms, personal chambers, and sprawling parklands ideal for strolling.
