We combined a trip to Tsarkoe Selo with a visit to nearby Pavlovsk in one day. Tsarskoe Selo, still commonly referred to as Pushkin, is home to Catherine Palace & Park, one of the imperial estates surrounding St. Petersburg. Although a bit dull & staid inside, the exterior design of the palace and its sprawling grounds are beautiful.
The lesser-known Alexander Palace is also located within the town limits ~ it's a much smaller-scale property, with a very touching display of Romanov memorabilia.
For Pushkin fans, there are also some buildings connected to the much-loved poet. |

The hint on transportation, though, won't be helpful for most, as the town can be easily accessed by public transportation by something like 50 cents and not 100 dollars! | Sharrie Wed Apr 7, 2004 06:07 UTC

Aleksander Sergeevish Pushkin has a city named after him, this Gorgeous Poet of love! I liked what you wrote dear Stevie, and didn't know before about Turkish baths in Russia, but knew about wild dogs LOL! | syllybabe Sun Aug 17, 2003 23:53 UTC
Must be lovely to wander around and get lost in those grounds. Looks like it was worth the side trip. |
