Лавка Рыжей Лапки
Start your acquaintance with Vyborg by tasting the pretzel of the same name, the recipe for which has come down to us from the Franciscan monks themselves.
You can also visit a cozy souvenir shop of local craftsmen and a cafe with its ginger owner Kuzma Voldemarovich, who might even join you for a cup of coffee.

Площадь Старой Ратуши
Stroll around the oldest square in Vyborg, which, by the way, hasn't changed in appearance since the 17th century. Take a photo with the founder of Vyborg Castle, Swedish Marshal Torgils Knuttson and go to the castle!

Vyborg Castle (Выборгский замок)
Here it is, the main attraction of the city - the castle, founded by the Swedes in the XIII century. A curious fact: it's the only castle on the water in Russia! In addition, it is also completely preserved, despite numerous sieges.
Important: on Monday, the castle is closed.

Таверна
It's a good time to eat in an atmospheric tavern, as befits a true hungry knight.
The place is very authentic indeed, from the food on offer to the burning candles and the waiters in period costume.

Набережная Большого Ковша
Vyborg Castle is especially beautiful at sunset. See it for yourself, take a walk along the embankment and see it from a new perspective.
Make a stop at the Viking drakkar, a 24-metre long ship that Vyborg inherited after the filming of "And Trees Grow on Stones".
