Peterhof Road, Heritage highway in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The 20-kilometer Peterhof Road extends from central Saint Petersburg to the Gulf of Finland, featuring architectural elements from the 18th century along its path.
Peter the Great commissioned this road in 1710 to connect his new capital with the imperial residence of Peterhof, establishing a route for the royal court.
The road connects multiple noble estates, palaces, and parks that demonstrate the architectural practices and lifestyle preferences of Russian aristocracy through centuries.
Modern travelers can access the road via public transport from Saint Petersburg, with regular bus services operating between the city center and Peterhof Palace.
The highway maintains its original 18th-century layout while functioning as a contemporary transportation artery serving thousands of visitors to Peterhof Palace daily.
