Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Group meeting Excursion to Vyborg, A. Aalto Library, Vyborg Castle

    Arrival in Saint Petersburg.

    09:30 Meeting with the guide at the monument to Peter the Great at the Moscow railway Station, St. Petersburg. The plaque "The history and secrets of Medieval Vyborg".

    Departure to Vyborg. A guided tour that tells about the historical events and nature of the Karelian Isthmus.

    11:30 Walking tour of the center of Vyborg. Each epoch and culture has left its own vivid impressions in the appearance of the city. On the narrow, cobblestone streets side by side: the oldest stone house in Russia, which has been inhabited by ordinary citizens for 400 years; the witch's house.

    As well as various towers: Sentry, Round, Town halls; Burgher's houses, knight's, merchant's; 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.

    12:30 Medieval lunch for an additional fee (1300 rubles): Homemade Pork with pickles and mustard. Fish soup with trout in creamy broth with a wicket Monrepos chicken fillet stuffed with cheese and herbs. Boiled rice. A French bun. Morse.

    14:00 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 did Peter the Fool 1 get the nickname "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 witnesses of the legend of the deep antiquity: castle towers: the tallest in South Karelia is the tower of St. Olaf, the most unusual with a Heavenly name.

    As well as 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.

    15:00 Guided tour to the Alvar Aalto Library. The library is a unique "box" in the treasury of Finnish modernism in Vyborg, the "white flower", which grew up 90 years ago in the city's Lenin Park (Esplanade). And the genius of architect Alvaro Aalto "planted" it.

    Let's look into this "box" and feel the comfort and warmth of all its comfortable values: in the lecture hall we will hear impeccable acoustics; in the most unusual reading room we will see diffused light without shadows and glare.

    We will orient ourselves to the four cardinal directions; we will sit on the famous stool-60; we will see the original railing and a tray for wrapping paper; and at the very bottom of the box we will breathe along with the old books of the vault.

    16:00 Accommodation. Free time.

    16:30 For an additional fee. Beer tasting tour "Underground City". Let's go through the stone maze to the Vyborg Brewery. The Head Brewer will be your guide in the world of brewing.

    He will tell you about the specifics of the beer production process and share the taste subtleties of different varieties of the drink. You will find out what secrets are hidden behind each step of production.

    Try different types of beer (only for organized groups: from 30 hours 1400 rubles, from 20 hours 1600 rubles, from 10 hours 1800 rubles, less than 10 hours 1900 rubles, children 7-14 years old without tasting 500 rubles).

    20:00 For an additional fee. Boat trip along Vyborg Bay (during navigation period May-September). The boat goes out into Vyborg Bay, goes along the coast of Monrepos Park and the islands of Vyborg Bay: Tent Island, Island of the Dead, Islands of Love and Bylinny.

    Monrepos Park looks different from aboard the ship. We will see: Chinese bridges, a tea gazebo, the temple of Neptune, the Ludwigstein Chapel.

    On the way back, the ship will pass through the Fortress Strait along Castle Island, admire the towers and walls of Vyborg Castle from the water.
