Peterhof, the summer palace of Peter the Great, is one of my favourite places in the beautiful city of St. Petersburg, Russia.
It's not far from downtown, and is a pleasant excursion from the city since it is surrounded by a large park and has lots of these fantastic fountains. If you are spending some time in Peter, as I did one summer, it is a good place to escape the traffic and noise of the city.
The best way to approach the palace is the way Peter the Great did, by water. There is a hydrofoil that serves Peterhof regularly in summer from the Embankment beside the Hermitage.
