* In a medieval town by the Gulf of Finland, everything is nearby: an old castle, gray temples, houses of citizens and office buildings in the Northern Art Nouveau style. Shall we try to find out how they became neighbors? Listen carefully: it's as if invisible guardians of history are hiding in the arches of the city, ready to tell us a lot of interesting things. The main thing is to listen to them without interrupting. What awaits you: Ancient Vyborg We will walk along the main streets and discuss the history of the Round Tower, the Town Hall, the Cathedral and the colorful monument to the tram. We will admire the Castle Island and the Burgher manor. I will tell you about the House of the merchant Guild of the Holy Spirit, the Witch's House and other original buildings, of which there are many in Vyborg. We won't stay near the ancient monuments for long, but it's worth climbing the Town Hall tower to appreciate the beauty of the city from a height. Mysterious Vyborg One of the most amazing local phenomena is the so—called Vyborg thunder. Let's talk about how the first major event of the Russian-Swedish war of the 15th century is connected with the mystical phenomena of Vyborg. You will learn about the siege of the city by the troops of Ivan III, as well as about a man who brewed a certain "terrible potion from snakes, toads, mercury, ash and salt" and ordered it to be carried under the walls of the only surviving tower. Organizational details: The tour is a sightseeing tour, visiting the facilities is not included in it. However, you can climb the Town Hall tower — it will take 5-10 minutes.
