On September 15, 2012, the fountains in Peterhof will be closing until the spring season starts again. Last year, around 40,000 people attended the closing ceremony of beautiful Peterhof. The attendees did not include only citizens, but also people from around Russia, and Europe, to see the “northern capital” and the wonderful closing ceremony, with a great perfomance by Paul Brun. The organizers of this year's ceremony promise something new and different. Bear in mind that all hotels surrounding Peterhof are occupied already, and transport is sure to be full but available.

So come and see the great closing ceremony of the Peterhof fountains, or you will have to wait almost another year to see the fountains reopen again! :)

Please, note that the date is not set in stone and may change. We will do our best to keep the information up to date.
