All day in Vyborg

One of the main sights of Vyborg, which is mandatory to visit.
The castle was built in the XIII century by order of the Swedish king, but despite this, the historic site is well preserved.
At the beginning of XVIII century the castle passed to Russia. For a long time it served as a fortification protecting Vyborg. There were also barracks and a prison.

The medieval knight Torgils Knutsson built the Vyborg Castle, so he is considered the founder of the town.
His monument on the background of the City Hall looks very beautiful in the photos, so take a moment and take a photo as a memory!

The first chime clock was installed on this tower, and the bell used to hang to warn residents about the danger.

House-museum with items related to the life of an urban resident (burger) of the Middle Ages, working every day.
The charming tour guide Gretchen will guide you through all areas, from the attic to the wine cellar.
Here you can also buy the famous Vyborg pretzel.

This used to be the border of the city. Then a market square appeared on the place of the fortress wall.
There are still some engraved vendor numbers on the bridge. The building of the covered market is built in Art Nouveau style.
The market is still functioning today, although the buildings were very damaged during the war.

You can grab a bite to eat in a cosy café in the historic centre. Cream Cafe is known for its desserts and delicious pastries. You can also have a hearty lunch of soup and salad here.

This monument is a new sight of Vyborg. A German tram of 1912 served as a model for it. The monument stands on real rails!
In addition to the car model, you can also see two other characters: a mustached car driver standing at the tram entrance and a stowaway boy on the rear footstep.
Bright tram attracts the attention of both adults and children. You can go inside, look at its interior and touch everything with your hands.

It is very interesting to watch how the glassblower works and to see the process of making unusual souvenirs, which can be purchased as a gift to your best friends.

The main embankment of Vyborg is very picturesque. A walk along it will bring a lot of pleasure. Everybody especially wants to take a photo against the background of the ancient ships of Drakkars. On such ships in ancient times the Vikings sailed along the famous trade route "From the Vikings to the Greeks". We will not sail with you, and can ride on catamarans.

A restaurant where you can taste the most delicious seafood dishes, or you can even catch fish from the pond yourself. And it will be prepared the way you wish.
And so that children do not get bored while cooking dinner, the restaurant has a playroom, playground and even a mini-zoo.
On weekends it is better to book table in advance.
