Dear Visitors
We are pleased to inform that one more entrance to the Catherine Park of Tsarskoe Selo—the Kadetsky Gate Entrance near the Admiralty pavilion—is open from Wednesday, 19 August 2020.
Only three entrances to the Catherine Park opened when Tsarskoe Selo resumed work after a 97-day lockdown from 3 July. Following the requirements of the regional healthcare authorities and the Museum's financial situation affected by the coronavirus pandemic, we had to keep some of the park entrances closed until any improvements.
Now the following four Catherine Park Entrances (ticketed) are open daily 9.00–21.00 (9am–7pm), entry until 21.00 (9pm):
- Main Entrance near Palace Chapel and Lyceum Arch
- Hermitage Kitchen pavilion
- Orlov Gate
- Kadetsky Gate
Dated Tickets available on the day at Park Ticket Booths; Open-Dated Tickets (for one visit, valid through 18 Oct) available online on our website’s Russian version . Hard-copy IDs and documents allowing reduced rates are required.
