The more we stayed in St.Petersburg, the more intriguing places we found and visited. Peterhof is one of St. Petersburg's most famous and popular visitor attractions, the palace and park at Peterhof are often referred to as "the Russian Versailles". Versailles was the inspiration for Peter the Great's desire to build an imperial palace in the suburbs of his new city and, after an aborted attempt at Strelna, Peterhof - which means "Peter's Court" in German - became the site for the Tsar's Monplaisir Palace, and then of the original Grand Palace. One of the big advantages of becoming an unique palace is the palace near the sea making the air is so fresh. People can see the other side of St. Petersburg by the coast.
