Russia has become one of the most important and popular tourist destinations in the world in recent years. Every year, millions of tourists visit Russia from different parts of the world and enjoy its tourist attractions. One of the main reasons for Russia's progress in the tourism industry and hosting millions of tourists throughout the year is to have many tourist attractions that are distributed throughout Russia. In some tourist destinations in Russia, the number of tourist attractions is so large that no tourist will have the opportunity to see all of them in one trip to Russia. Moscow, the capital of Russia, is one of the cities that hosts a large number of tourist attractions and many tourist services and entertainment programs. The resort city of Sochi is another tourist destination in Russia that has attracted many tourists' attention in recent years. With modern recreational and tourism facilities, this city has been able to provide an attractive environment for tourists who want to relax during the trip and use modern recreational facilities or getting close to nature. Many other tourist destinations in Russia attract the attention of some tourists. However, due to the small number of tourist attractions and places of interest, they are not suitable for multi-day trips. St. Petersburg is one of the most popular cities for tourists touring Russia, with many tourist attractions and recreational programs. However, at the same time, many tourists who visit this beautiful and historical city plan to see some of the major cities and tourist destinations around it.
St. Petersburg Tour is one of Russia's most exciting and popular tourism programs, which attracts millions of tourists. Especially during the summer, due to the numerous festivals in this beautiful and historic city and the favorable climate of St. Petersburg, a massive number of tourists visit St. Petersburg. Of course, the number of tourist attractions in this city is so large that it can host this number of tourists. Numerous art and historical museums, countless cultural centers, historical and scenic landmarks, large and spectacular gardens and parks with beautiful scenery, and entertainment programs that can attract all ages' attention are some of the things that St. Petersburg offers to its visitors. Undoubtedly, due to the number of tourist attractions and places of interest, almost no one will have the opportunity to see all of them on a short trip to St. Petersburg. That is why most tourists trust the plans offered by travel agencies and tour operators in Russia and adjust their itineraries based on their recommendations. However, some tourists who are looking for a rare and unique experience also visit the cities around St. Petersburg. Since St. Petersburg has some of the most exciting tourist attractions around it, some tourists' decision to visit them during their trip to St. Petersburg is not too surprising. One of the most popular cities for tourists around St. Petersburg is the city of Vyborg, whose daily tour program attracts a large number of tourists during travel to St. Petersburg.
Vyborg is a historic and fascinating town 140 km northwest of St. Petersburg near the Finnish border. Many tourists use the St. Petersburg Railway to reach this beautiful and spectacular city, transporting tourists from St. Petersburg to Vyborg in less than two hours. Some also travel to this city by rental cars or tour buses, which reach Vyborg in about two hours. Founded in 1403, this historical city was part of Finland's soil before World War II but was ousted by the Soviet Union after World War II and added to The Soviet territory. Vyborg is a medieval town where tourists can visit medieval buildings, some of which date back to before the 13th century. Perhaps the most important reason for tourists to visit Vyborg during a St. Petersburg tour is to enjoy the medieval atmosphere of the old town of Vyborg. However, the city has many tourist attractions, sights, museums, and cultural centers that tourists can visit during a day tour to Vyborg and return to St. Petersburg with many memories of this historic city.
One of the main reason tourists visit Vyborg is the medieval castle of this city, the Vyborg Castle. Constructed in 1293 by the Swedish Empire, this medieval castle is Vyborg's most important tourist attraction on tour to Russia. This military castle, which became the first stronghold of the Swedish Empire in the Karelian region, is the castle around which the beautiful and historic city of Vyborg is formed. For centuries, Vyborg Castle had been the first defensive fortress of the Swedish Empire against the Russian Empire's invasion. This irregular quadrangular castle has become one of Vyborg's main tourist attractions today. Many tourists from all over the world travel to Russia to see the castle and the medieval town of Vyborg. Another of Viborg's landmarks, which today serves as a restaurant and entertainment center, is The Round Tower, located in Vyborg Market Square. The structure was built between 1547 and 1550 by Gustav I of Sweden as part of the defensive wall of the medieval town, but today it is known as one of the city's sights and attractions.
Another major attraction on a St. Petersburg tour when visiting Vyborg is the Monrepos Park, State Historical, Architectural, and Natural Museum. This 160-hectare English landscape park, home to many museums, natural, architectural, and historical landmarks, is one of Vyborg's most visited tourist attractions. One of the most spectacular places in the heart of this park is the Temple of Neptune. Ludwigsburg Chapel is another interesting architectural structure in the park. Visitors to this large and natural park can visit its many museums or get acquainted with this park's nature, which is located in the northern part of the rocky island of Linnasaari.
Although many tourist attractions await tourists in Vyborg, next to Vyborg Castle, the old town that still retains most of its medieval architectural structure is one reason for this tour's popularity during travel to Russia. Sightseeing in this beautiful and historical city is one of the reasons that has fascinated many tourists in this part of Russia. Of course, we should not forget that Vyborg also has many souvenirs to offer to tourists. Krendel is a famous pastry and one of Vyborg's delicious souvenirs. Unique ornamental jewelry is also one of the favorite souvenirs of Vyborg that tourists can obtain when visiting this city. Most of Vyborg's tourist attractions are grouped near each other, and tourists can easily see most of these tourist attractions by spending about six hours of their time. Of course, you should keep in mind that due to this city's distance from the center of St. Petersburg, tourists will have to dedicate one day of their St. Petersburg tour to this medieval city.
