How to get to Gatchina from St. Petersburg
This suburb of St. Petersburg was held hostage by the Swedes. The great Peter I was able to triumph in the Great Northern War and annex this picturesque place to the Russian land. There is a huge palace and park complex in Gatchina that was used by Paul I. He was waiting for many years here for his turn to ascend the throne after his mother, Catherine II.

Rail transport
For railway lovers, electric trains run along two lines: the Baltiyskaya and Luzhskaya. The cost is a little more than 100 rubles. You will enjoy the views from the window for about 1 hour.
