Great for just wandering around. Very eclectic mix between the outdoor gardens and the ornate mansion . I don't recommend trying to walk to here! Very off the beaten path.

This beautifully maintained mansion boasts one of the most remarkable collections of Russian decorative art outside of Russia. Enjoy afternoon tea after one of their docent or audio tours .
