Breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Room release.
Sightseeing bus and walking tour of the historical center of Vyborg. Walking along the cobbled streets, among cathedrals and residential buildings dating back more than 500 years, you will plunge into the era when the horseshoes of knights' horses clattered on the pavements and merchants' carts rumbled, bringing goods from all over Europe to Vyborg.
You will see a medieval fortress on a rocky island with the ponderous St. Olaf Tower and beautiful views of Vyborg Bay. From the distant past, through the "cascade of squares".
You will walk through the "Old Vyborg", getting acquainted with Swedish, Russian and Finnish history. The city of three peoples and three cultures has preserved its unique charm to this day.
A visit to the Castle Island with an excursion, without visiting the expositions. This Swedish castle, built in 1293, is Russia's only fortress of the medieval knights, and it is not for nothing that jousting tournaments are held here every year. Tour of St. Olaf's Tower.
Lunch (extra charge).
Boat trip along the islands of Vyborg Bay with audio tour "Legends of Monrepos". Disembarkation at Monrepos Park.
Monrepos Park sightseeing tour followed by an independent walk. A landscape park of rare beauty was created on huge cliffs descending to the waters of the bay.
The skill of gardeners and architects turned this corner of the wilderness into a delightful romantic work, and the owners themselves complemented the "Monrepos" with their poems and fairy tales.
And today, walking along the winding paths of the park, you are unlikely to remain indifferent to the blue expanse of Vyborg Bay, shady alleys, elegant gazebos and severe monuments, as if they came from the runes of the Kalevala.
Check-in at the Pretzel Factory, which is the official manufacturer of Vyborg Pretzel. There you can get acquainted with the history of the pretzel and buy real delicious souvenirs for the whole family.
