Visit two summer residences of the Russian tsars—the baroque Catherine Palace and Pavlovsk Palace.
First drive to Tsarskoe Selo where you will venture inside the magnificent Catherine Palace, celebrated for its unique and lavish azure façades. Stroll through spacious rooms to the Amber Room, often considered as the Eighth Wonder of the World thanks to its incredible gold leaf.
The next stop is just a few miles from Catherine Palace—the expansive Pavlovsk estate. This Imperial Estate was the residence of Emperor Paul I, the son of Catherine the Great. The estate's magnificent palace sits on a hill overlooking a landscaped park.
