Vyborg and Monrepos Park
Vyborg is one of the most unusual cities in the northwest of Russia. Its history is connected with Sweden, Finland, and Russia, so the architecture here differs from typical Russian cities. Stone facades, narrow streets, old squares, and towers form a cohesive historical appearance.
The main symbol of the city is Vyborg Castle, founded in the 13th century. It rises on an island and sets the tone for the entire historic center. Nearby is the old town with cobblestone streets, towers, cathedrals, and houses that preserve the atmosphere of medieval Europe.
A special place is occupied by Monrepos Park – granite rocks, a bay, islands, and northern nature make it one of the most picturesque locations in the region. Vyborg combines a fortress, nature, and old architecture in one space, which keeps the city a popular destination for travel and historical exploration.
