Varyazhsky Dvor means Viking's Yard in Russian but it actually has another - and by far simpler a name - Svargas which is translated from Indo-European as Sunny Sky. This is a purely private project which is sixteen years old. Their life has been tough - constant fight with local red tape and corruption, volatile cash-flow and even a direct arson attack from hostile competitors. They were burnt virtually to ashes (!!!) and reconstructed the whole thing with their own hands! (One can still see charred walls on the second (English - first) floor. To understand what goes on there please read a review by the guy from Vermont. I'd only add that you can also try a smashing old-style lunch there - Vikings' cabbage or pea (no rubbish cream!) soup and home-made ham hock (Haxe, Eisbein) with potatoes. But - attention! - this service is oursourced so please get in touch with the complex in advance and bear in mind that if the guys are missing there'll be absolutely no opportunity to even have a snack there. So mind it in the course of your planning. But if they ARE there then first thing to do upon arrival should be approaching them and making an order. Then go to their smithy, throw axes, shoot a bow, try chainmail and other medieval haute couture stuff, etc. 'coz in an hour the meals will be ready and you won't have to wait. Their parking is rather modest and this should be taken into account as well. And toilets... Mind-blowing smell. Get ready for a simple obsolete outhouse. Very disappointing. Apart from this - magnificent and very interesting. Recommended!

“The creation of the Drama Horse Theatre has always been my dream, the embodiment of which I have been engaged all my life.” (Evgenii Tkachuk) The history of the theatre has begun during the students’ years of Evgenii Tkachuk. It is based on the idea of harmony between humans and horses in the united space; the unity of drama and Slavic mythology that gave the name to the theatre – VelesO, in the honour of master of arts and wild nature – god Veles. During several years they had been gaining experience of working together with horses and the way they behaved with people; the first plays were staged “The Little Prince”, “For her sake”, “Steed is the dearest for Cossack”. They had also changed several places of the theater. The number of adherents who believe in the power of arts and free flight of creativity. In 2016 the theatre moved to village Lepsary in the Leningrad region. Creativity is an endless process…

Really picturesque from across the river, as long as you're not on the side with all the construction. The museum is a good one, even though foreigners are supposed to pay an entry fee double what Russians are charged.

✨The Great Gatchina Palace was built in 1766-1781 in Gatchina according to the project of Antonio Rinaldi for the favorite of Catherine II Count Grigory Grigoryevich Orlov. Located on a hill above Silver Lake, the palace combines the themes of a medieval castle and a country residence. The interiors of the palace are an example of Russian classicism at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries. The palace was one of the favorite resting places of the royal family✨

Beautiful park to visit already now, only ca 2km from the city center. Monrepos Park is being thoroughly restored but can already be visited (the small island bridge wasn't there, but many parts of the park could already be visited). The shores and the landscape is calming and you see many different types of visitors - joggers that pass quickly and families that take time to admire the flowers. The Neptun temple has been rebuilt 1999. The sun was shining and it was relaxing to walk around and wonder how people used to walk and visit the park 100 years ago. Next time I'll bring some picnic and enjoy an even longer stay.
