The palace has been transformed from a derelict to its original grandeur and the grounds transformed into a veritable fairyland of walkways among trees and gardens, fountains and canals. The gardens are only open during the summer. The palace is open on a very limited schedule. Very few are permitted. It you ever have an opportunity, TAKE IT!

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin is the poet, playwright, and novelist who is considered by many to be Russia's greatest poet and the founder of modern Russian literature, and it is he that the town of Pushkin is named after. It is also known by its former name Tsarskoye Selo - or the Tsars Village which was its name before the Revolution in 1917. This beautiful bronze of Alexender Sergeyevich in thoughtful repose is a 'must see' when you visit the town. If you are trvelling by coach you will pass it anyway, but as it is situated on the boudary of the Lyceum Garden - a small park in which you can walk and relax and savour nature at its best - at any time of the year, you should really take a few minutes to study what many think is one of the very finest bronze sculptures of Pushkin. It survived the Nazi occupation of Pushkin during the second World War, buried in the park to evade being looted and exported to Germany. It is just as much an essential part of a visit to Pushkin as the Lyceum itself, where Pushkin studied.
