Activity Overview

Catherine Garden (Ekaterininsky Sad) is a historic public garden located in the heart of St. Petersburg, near the Fontanka River and Nevsky Prospekt. The garden takes its name from the monument to Empress Catherine II, which stands prominently at its centre.

The garden was laid out in the 18th century as part of the development of the area around the Alexandrinsky Theatre. Its landscaped paths, mature trees, flowerbeds and fountains provide a peaceful green space surrounded by some of the city’s finest historic architecture.

The centrepiece is the impressive Monument to Catherine the Great, unveiled in 1873 and surrounded by figures representing prominent personalities from her reign. Today, Catherine Garden offers visitors a pleasant place to relax while exploring the cultural and architectural heritage of central St. Petersburg.
