Top Nature in Saint Petersburg

Definitely take your time exploring the smaller pathways—some hidden art and sculptures are easy to miss if you stick to the main paths!

I think it's worth packing a portable charger. I took tons of pics, and my battery was drained by the end of my visit!

I suggest checking the weather beforehand. A sudden rain shower caught me off guard, so an umbrella saved my day!

Consider getting the combined ticket for the nearby Peter and Paul Fortress if you plan to explore more; it saved me a few rubles while I was there.

Bring snacks and drinks with you! The cafes inside the park can be pricey, and some benches are perfect for a little picnic

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The pathways can be a bit uneven, and you'll want to stroll around without your feet killing you halfway through. I learned that the hard way.

There's a small café nearby where you can grab snacks or drinks... I suggest stopping there instead of searching for cafes far away... You'll save time and can keep enjoying the park!

if you can, arrive right when they open at 10 am to beat the crowds. i made the mistake of going later and missed some great photo ops in the less busy areas.

Wear comfortable shoes! Between walking through the palace and the vast gardens, my feet were killing me by the end of the day. Make sure to enjoy every corner without the pain!

Consider buying your tickets online in advance to skip the long lines. Trust me, waiting in line can be a real mood killer when you just want to explore.
