Yusupovsky Garden

Yusupovsky Garden is a historic garden in central Saint Petersburg that spans several connected areas throughout its grounds. Stone pathways wind between tree groves and lead past a central pond with decorative bridges, creating a network of walking routes.

The garden belonged to the wealthy Yusupov family during imperial times and became state property following the Russian Revolution of 1917. This shift marked the change from a private estate to a space open to the public.

The garden displays different planted areas that blend Russian and European gardening styles in ways visitors can observe while walking through. These traditions remain visible in the carefully maintained beds and tree groupings throughout the space.

The garden stays open year-round and can be entered from multiple points along the surrounding streets. Benches are placed throughout the pathways, allowing visitors to rest while exploring.

The garden's layout from imperial times remains intact, preserving its original design as it was centuries ago. A network of water channels running through the grounds connects to the nearby Fontanka River, allowing water to flow through the space.
