Let's go to Tsarskoe Selo! 
Free, windy and drunk, 
There are smiling lancers, 
Jumping on a strong saddle 
Let's go to Tsarskoe Selo!

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Tsarskoye Selo

The main thing that attracts crowds of curious tourists to Tsarskoe Selo is the famous Amber Room in the Catherine Palace. To admire it, most likely, will have to defend in a long queue. As you know, the original Amber Room, taken out by the fascists from occupied Pushkin, disappeared without a trace in Koenigsberg, before the entry of Russian troops into it. Restoration of the masterpiece took many years and required putting about 6 tons of amber into operation. But the palace itself is equally magnificent both outside and inside - which is only worth the grandiose Golden Suite of palace halls, created by the Rastrelli project.

Everything that visitors see today is the fruit of the titanic work of restorers, whose efforts after the Second World Palace literally rose from the ashes.

In the Catherine Park, which serves as a magnificent setting for a luxurious palace, many beautiful avenues, picturesque ponds and canals and remarkable buildings .Curious, for example, the history of the pavilion "The Hermitage" - its purpose was to spend time in a narrow circle, and in order to avoid the obsessive presence of servants, a cunning system of ordering lunch was developed .Slate board, on which each guest wrote his wishes on the menu, went down to the kitchen for a rope .And after the meal went under the floor and the tables themselves, and the pavilion turned into a dance hall .Pay attention to the Grotto - the traditional decoration of the English landscape parks of the 18th century, and the Turkish bath, accurately reproducing one of the Constantinople mosques .One of the symbols of Pushkin was a sculpture-fountain "Girl with a jug", a copy is installed in the park, the original is kept in the Russian Museum .A magnificent view of the park opens from the Granite terrace, in front of which a colorful flower carpet spreads .

The film about Tsarskoe Selo

Less grandiose, but still, one of the best examples of architecture of classicism, the Alexander Palace attracts visitors with an exhibition of objects of everyday life of the royal family: personal belongings, dresses, toys of Tsarevich Alexei .It was here after the 1905 revolution that the family of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II resided permanently .During the fascist occupation, the palace housed the Gestapo and the German headquarters, the cellar became a prison, and the square in front of the palace - a cemetery for SS soldiers .In the Alexandrovsky Park, a special interest is represented by the Chinese village, which arose as a result of the hobby of the Oriental culture .Continue the eastern theme of the Great Chinese Bridge of pink granite, the Dragons Bridge, the Cross Bridge and the Chinese Theater, from which, however, to this day only ruins have reached .

Certainly worth a visit in the Tsarskoe Selo building Lyceum, which trained young Pushkin .At that time it was one of the best educational institutions in Russia and in the world .Now in the building there is a memorial museum open for the 175th birthday of Alexander Sergeevich .In the Lyceum Garden there is a monument to Pushkin-Lyceum .Another place connected with the great Russian poet in Pushkin is a museum in the house of Kitaeva on Pushkinskaya street, d .2 .Pushkin took this dacha immediately after his marriage, here he wrote "Onegin's Letter to Tatiana", prepared for printing "The Tale of Belkin" and "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" .
