City a fairy tale

П. Сыровников
We’re glad to present you the town, where one can come across the medieval fairy-tale and contemporaneity, the memories of the historical past and the perspectives of the present.  It is situated on the North-West of the country just 120 km off St.Petersburg, on the boarder between Russia and Finland. Its cultural, historical and architectural monuments as well as picturesque landscapes, streets and cobble-stone roadways attract tourists from all over the world. Vyborg today is recognized as the tourist centre of Russia – established shipping routes, railway and car tracks connect it with Europe and the rest of the world. Day by day comfortable hotels, private inns, restaurants and cafes serve their clients at high European level. Travellers traditionally rejoice at the variety of fascinating excursion programmes in the Russian, Finnish and English languages. In this town alone one can climb to the sightseeing ground of the only medieval castle in Russia, walk along the romantic «Monrepous» park, dine in the historical restaurant, located in the ancient «Round Tower». In our wonderful town one can mentally go hundreds of years way back to fancy the life of knights and kings, picture the future vividly – the era of new discoveries and technology. Unique historical “scenery” that have preserved the spirit of the Middle Ages as well as picturesque landscapes of the suburbs traditionally draw attention of Russian and foreign film studios, while the staggering bond of epochs inspire painters and impress tourists. If you happen to visit our town even once, you will never forget it!
