Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Fortified heritage
Vyborg Castle
The castle’s tower and stone buildings form a waterfront landmark. Exterior views reveal the site’s position and the relationship between enclosure, buildings and Vyborg’s urban landscape.
Park and garden
Monrepos Park
Monrepos combines rocky terrain, trees and water views. Its walking landscape alternates wooded spaces and open vistas rather than a sequence of formal flower beds.
Architectural heritage
Alvar-Aalto Library
Alvar Aalto’s library combines restrained forms with carefully designed light and reading spaces. It remains a working library; architectural visits need to respect readers and visitor arrangements.
Fortified heritage
Round Tower of Vyborg
The Round Tower stands out for its cylindrical body and roof within the urban fabric. Its silhouette offers a different view of Vyborg’s fortifications from the waterfront castle.
