Does anyone have any suggestions of websites that have a map of the fountains at Peterhof? How far are they from each other? Which fountain is the most beautiful among them to see? Thank you.

The Grand Cascade is I believe the most beautiful - the one with the Samson figure. Chessboard Hill is quite attractive and the other cascade with Neptune (I forget the name right now) is undergoing restortion but still worth a look. Eve is very photogenic and I never saw Adam due to being rained off. Sun is worth watching for a few minutes, Pyramid is impressive in its own little way and the Roman copies near Chessboard are very grandiose. They are all within fairly easy walking distance of each other providing you have no mobility problems. The guidebooks have maps if you buy one but I've no idea about a website.

Good Luck
