    Getting to know Vyborg

    An eventful day awaits you in the atmospheric Vyborg. Treat yourself to a legendary pretzel at the Ginger Cat's house, dress up in knight's armour at Vyborg Castle, explore the mysterious Monrepo Park. For dessert, take a stroll along the waterfront and a photo at sunset by Viking drakkars.

    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.

    Castle

    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.

    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.

    Vyborg Castle is especially beautiful at sunset. See it for yourself, take a walk along the embankment and see it from a new perspective.
