Peterhof Palace, St Petersburg
Date: 2012-05-19
Known as the 'Russian Versailles', the ornate palace overlooks the Gulf of Finland. The Grand Cascade fountain features Samson prying open a lion's jaws as water cascades down terraced steps.
When we visited on May 19, 2012, it was the seasonal fountains opening day with grand ceremony and tons of visitors. Photo and video are prohibited inside the palace.
