Vyborg is an amazing city with a centuries-old history, which was formed under the influence of three states: Sweden, Russia and Finland. It still has the atmosphere of the European Middle Ages, which cannot be found in an ordinary Russian city. On a small territory there are more than 300 historical monuments, as well as the Vyborg Fortress - the visiting card of the city. The inhabitants of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region like to come here for the weekend.
The most beautiful route from St. Petersburg to Vyborg runs along the Gulf of Finland. This area abounds with parks, beaches, observation points, capes and bays. Do not miss a great opportunity to admire the scenic views and stop by a few of these places along the way!
