Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Saint Petersburg. Departure to Vyborg. Castle Island
Arrival in Saint Petersburg.
09:30 Meeting with the guide at the monument to Peter the Great at the Moscow railway Station in St. Petersburg. Transfer to Vyborg.
A guided tour that tells about the historical events and nature of the Karelian Isthmus.
Arrival in Vyborg.
12:00 Visit to Castle Island, where the medieval knightly Vyborg Castle is located.
Vyborg Castle is a symbol of the city, its heart and core. It was from him that the difficult history of the city and people began, and all roads in Vyborg lead to the castle. Is that all? Was there a secret passage? Where is the Matveev hole? Why was Peter the Fool 1 nicknamed the "Vyborg Beard"? Who lived in the castle? And kings, and servants, and military men, and even prisoners.
Vyborg Castle will be 732 years old in 2025. We are greeted by the following witnesses of the legend of the deep antiquity: castle towers: the tallest in South Karelia — the tower of St. Olaf, the most unusual with a heavenly name; artifacts of maritime archaeology — a Swedish anchor and cannon from 1790; real medieval walls in a cozy courtyard. And each of us can witness a different, museum and cultural-historical life of the ancient castle.

Walking day.
10:30 Walking tour of the center of Vyborg.
Each epoch and culture has left its own vivid impressions in the appearance of the city. The narrow, cobblestone streets are adjacent:
The oldest stone house in Russia, which has been inhabited by ordinary citizens for 400 years.;
The witch's house;
various towers: Clock Tower, Round Tower, Town Halls;
Burgher's, knight's, merchant's houses;
schools: Russian, Finnish, Swedish.
There are three cascaded squares, each with its own church: Cathedral Square with an Orthodox one, Theater Square with a Lutheran one, and Market Square with "temples" of commerce and banks; and in the middle is the Vyborg tramway.
Krasnaya and Sigovaya squares, although not neighbors, but two Russian rulers "live" there.
Bears, squirrels, goat's heads, sheep's heads and rich floral ornaments — all these and other inhabitants of the northern territory on the portals and facades of the creations of the Art Nouveau era we will see on the streets of Vyborg.
12:00 Free time.
13:30 Lunch for an additional fee (950 rubles).

Day 3 - Monrepos Rock Landscape Park. Departure to Saint Petersburg
09:00 Breakfast in the hotel restaurant.
10:00 Meeting with the guide.
10:30 Guided tour of Russia's only rock landscape park Monrepos. The name in French means "my rest", "my rest", "my rest".
The rock landscape park of Monrepos of the XVIII–XIX centuries is located on the lands of a former private estate, the owners of which for 150 years were the Barons Nicolai, who served Russia in the field of education and diplomacy. This place is imbued with romanticism and the spirit of its creator.
Take a walk along the park alleys along the sparkling waters of Vyborg Bay, listen to the birds singing and the breathing of stone boulders inscribed in the water, sit on a bench near a hundred—year-old birch tree and see how tempting distances leading to the Baltic Sea open up to your eyes - and then who is not a poet becomes a poet… This is how the people who visited this amazingly beautiful place describe the actions.
12:30 Lunch for an additional fee (950 rubles)
14:00 Free time to buy souvenirs.
17:00 Departure from Vyborg to St. Petersburg at Moskovsky railway station.

My daughter and I took the St. Petersburg Collection tour for 7 days, and I highly recommend it for first-time visitors to the city like us. The tour is well-designed, allowing you to see the main attractions in a short period of time. A great advantage is that you can join on any day. Everything was well-organized—excellent guides, comfortable buses, and provided radio headsets for better communication. There were no delays or long waits. The schedule was planned in a way that left plenty of free time in the evenings for walks or additional sightseeing. The tour package includes hotel accommodation, with several options to choose from. I stayed at the Rossiya Hotel near Pobeda Park and was very satisfied. The rooms were clean, with daily housekeeping, fresh towels, and air conditioning—which was perfect given the pleasant temperatures of 24–30°C during our stay. A buffet breakfast was included—simple but sufficient to start the day. It was really convenient, as we would bring a small snack for the day and have dinner somewhere in central St. Petersburg. The hotel is within walking distance of the blue metro line, making it easy to reach the city center without transfers. There’s also a supermarket nearby, along with plenty of street food options. It’s also worth mentioning that additional excursions are available. We took a boat trip to the forts of Kronstadt and joined a nighttime tour to see the city's famous drawbridges—both were unforgettable experiences
