The Leningrad region is one of the most interesting regions of Russia for car travel enthusiasts. There is an incredible, unique nature, and amazing historical heritage, and a variety of cultural objects.
This trip is specially planned for brave and active people who love long walks, are interested in the culture and history of their country and its traditions. Our trip will begin with a car rental, after which we will travel north along the shore of Lake Ladoga. There we will have a one-day trip to Valaam Island. And after that we'll go westward towards the most "European" city of Russia - Vyborg, to walk along its ancient streets and feel the peace in the park with a very unusual landscape.
