Day Four
Head out of the city early to spend the day in tsarist opulence. Go first to
Tsarskoe Selo
in order to visit the
Catherine Palace
during its opening
hours for individuals (as opposed to groups) and have a walk in the gardens.
If you're still wanting more,
Pavlovsk
is a quick bus ride away and the park is even
wilder and more beautiful.
Lunch
Back in town, head to Garçon (

Buy the full ticket and add on the
Stroganov Palace
,
Marble Palace
and
Mikhailovsky Castle
for some fabulous interiors too.
Dinner
Dine with the cool kids at fabulous Dom
Enjoy the bars around ul Rubinshteyna - have a drink at

Soviet-era dance at
Petrovich
, or head to alternative favourite
Griboye-
dov
for some electronic music or
Kitaysky Lyotchik Dzhao Da

based sounds.
