Water excursion along the canals of St. Petersburg (Summer Palace of Peter I)
Last summer my family and I traveled around the country a little. I took a lot of photos on this trip. And I want to share them.
Having sailed from Hare Island across the Neva River and under the Troitsky Bridge, our pleasure boat headed along the Fontanka River.
To our right was the Summer Garden. Now there is a park here. And initially it was created as a summer royal residence for Emperor Peter I (The last Tsar and the first Russian Emperor). Therefore, the first building we encountered on our way turned out to be the Summer Palace of Peter I. Currently there is a museum here.
Below under the photo I have added a map of our route. On the map I marked the approximate points from where I took the photographs shown in my previous posts and in this post.
And below I have added a gif in which you can see several photos from my previous posts in this series.
I strongly recommend to open the photo in a separate tab to appreciate it.
