I happened to be for me on Vyborg. The trip was businessy yes in winter. For an acquaintance with the city Rovno one day. And what can be viewed in one day, and when on the street -7c? As I got unsuccessful, they say that it usually happens much warmer.
First of all went to Montrepo. MONREPO This is the famous landscape park of Baron Nikolai. It combines the architectural buildings in the form of a column in honor of the emperors Paul I and Alexander I, a tea gazebo, White Chapel Ludwigsburg and natural monuments: rocks, granite caves, bizarre trees. Winter snow covered park looked amazing. One of the advantages of winter is the opportunity to walk on ice to the granite rock on which white chapel stands. It turns out that the rock at another time of the year does not approach - the boats are not allowed to do it, but there is no bridge. Lasting in the park went into a cafe, which is located there in the "refrigerator" of the XVIII century, the ice was previously stored in this construction. But the menu is there just hot: tea coffee baking. Entrance to the park is inexpensive, only 100 rubles.
Warred visited a sightseeing bus tour of the city. For 2.5 hours showed the entire old part and the city center. The city is very liked. A lot of vintage medieval buildings and buildings have been preserved. And since the city was built the Swedes, and then Peteri won it, then the architecture belongs to various epochs and peoples. Very nice. Expensive, but interesting.
Closer in the late afternoon went to the Vyborg Castle. This is where the city originated. Medieval cannon with subsequent buildings. It looks impressive. Present Middle Ages. Raised to the viewing platform on the Tower of St. Olaf (the entrance is paid 80 rubles), the view of the old city is just fabulous. And the museum connected with the medieval life of the city was fluked. If I had more time, it would see the fortress of seeded and museums too, and there are several of them there.
The impression of the city remains good. If you buy a guide, then you can also inspect all the sights. Transport inexpensive in the city 30 rubles for passage, taxis from 100 rubles for a trip around the city. True, it will be born from 350 rubles, but you can live in the apartment and prepare themselves. Be sure to return to this city again, but already in the warm season.
