Pavlovsk excursions are very popular with the locals. Pavlovsk park is the most beloved place to go for the young families and local Grannies, feeding the squirrels and birds.

The estate was given as a gift to Paul, the son of Catherine the Great. Empress Catherine the Great was on bad terms with the son and his spouse, the construction faced many difficulties on the way. But the result turned out to be wonderful. Maria, Paul’s wife, loved horticulture, gardening and country life in general, so Pavlovsk Palace and Park were her favorite refuges from the merciless court intrigues. Her efforts turned Pavlovsk into one of the most beautiful environs of St Petersburg.
