Breakfast at the hotel is a buffet.
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.
Walking along the park alleys, along the sparkling waters of Vyborg Bay, listening to birds singing and the breathing of stone boulders inscribed in the water, you can see how tempting distances leading to the Baltic Sea open up to your eyes — and then, who is not a poet becomes a poet…
That's how the people who visited this amazingly beautiful place describe the actions.
Visit the 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 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.
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.
Lunch at a cafe.
A master class on baking Vyborg pretzel at the Pretzel Factory in Domus Posso at the intersection of "5 balconies". You will learn about the history of Vyborg pretzel, recipes and participate in the manufacturing process yourself. We will try an authentic medieval pretzel recipe.
Guided tasting tour in the grotto. If there are places of power in the world, then this is certainly one of them.
This man-made cave with mesmerizing vaulted ceilings was created over millions of years of geological processes and refined by the soldiers of Peter the Great, who conquered additional space from the granite rock.
Besides being a unique caving site, the GROTTO is also an art space with works by Vyborg artists and vintage photographs of Vyborg.
Tasting. You can try craft beers brewed in Vyborg (ale, lager, porter) and cider made in Vyborg for bottling, in cold weather you can try cider in the form of hot Glegg, and enjoy the signature gem — chocolate stout.
Free time.
