Recreation

The National Congress Palace offers you lots of options for comfortable and informative leisure: you can take a pleasant stroll in Lower and Upper Parks, enjoy the views of the aquatorium of the Gulf of Finland, visit 18 comfortable villas or the Pavilion.

Or take a memorable tour of Konstantinovsky Palace featuring the original items of the imperial family from the collections of the Hermitage, take a wine tasting in the palace cellars featuring the unique collection of nearly 17,000 best samples of Italian, French, Spanish, Hungarian and the New World wines. You can also visit the exhibition of the contemporary Russian artists and artisans or enjoy a musical concert. In the spring and summer the guests also have an option of making a Lower Park promenade in mini cars.

An interesting leisure idea is to go by sea to visit the old Fort Alexander. The hydrofoil will take the guests to the fort, offer a panoramic tour and an entertainment program a la Fort Boyard.

A nice closure to any day spent at the National Congress Palace is a visit to any of the Baltic Star Hotel restaurants: the Russian Versailles, the Northern Venice and the lobby bar offer the best of Russian and European cuisines. Pool tables and beauty salon operate round the clock.

For those wishing to spend a few days at the gulf coast, the National Congress Palace offers 106 comfortable hotel rooms affording the beautiful views of the Lower Park, Konstantinovsky Palace, and the aquatorium of the Gulf of Finland. 18 exquisite villas are also available for refined and comfortable rest. Each villa features sauna, gym and a swimming pool.
