On this trip you will get the atmosphere of a medieval European town, where the tallest building is a tower rather than a skyscraper, where pretzels are baked and aromatic glegg is brewed and where a Christmas fair appears every winter on the market square.
You'll also meet reindeer and have lunch in a medieval tavern.

Admire the mysterious and atmospheric Clock Tower, and twilight adds to its mystery and enigma.
This tower, built in 1494, was once the bell tower of Vyborg's Old Cathedral.
Despite the dilapidated state of the tower itself, the mechanism on it continues to function.
