A walk through the Summer Garden in Saint-Petersburg

Brilliant St. Petersburg. The garden and park ensemble "Summer Garden" is a fairy tale in the center of the stone jungle

The brainchild of Peter the Great and the pearl of the park necklace of the Northern Capital. Many architects and skilled gardeners, Russian and foreign, worked on its creation. The date of foundation is considered to be 1704.The "business card" of the garden is its most beautiful fence, created under Catherine II. In the 19th century, it was said that the lattice of the Summer Garden, as well as the magnificent embankments of St. Petersburg, deserve to be world landmarks!

During the Great Patriotic War, an anti-aircraft crew was stationed here. The statues were carefully buried and returned to their places after the war. Currently, the Summer Garden has been completely restored and welcomes visitors with silence, regularity and coolness. By the way, in order to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a bygone era, you can put on luxurious clothes of the Peter the Great era. A local costume rental organization offers them for a reasonable fee.
