You can get to the 19th century without a time machine, just open the gates of the Yusupov Garden.

Here, by the light of a lantern, you can sit on a bench and think about something of your own, walk in the midst of greenery in summer, and feel the spaciousness and unlimited space in winter. A large pond, islands and bridges — all this creates a romantic image of the century before last.

On the territory of the garden there is a mansion of the Yusupov family, rebuilt according to the project of architect Giacomo Quarenghi. However, it is impossible to enter the building because the museum does not function.

It is noteworthy that in the XIX century, the first ice rink was opened in the garden, where competitions in speed skating and figure skating were held. For many years, no one remembered the old tradition. But everything new is well forgotten old, and the skating rink reopened in 2013 as part of the Petrovsky Ice skating competition.

In addition to other joys, a slide opens in the garden in winter, where everyone — both children and adults, restless people and quiet people — can ride and get a lot of positive emotions!
