Vyborg is located in western Russia, close to the Finnish border. One of the popular attractions in Vyborg is a medieval castle located on an islet. The castle now serves as a museum and has exhibition halls with photographs of Finnish history in World War II. Enjoy the stunning landscape of the town from Olaf Tower, located inside the castle. Visit the Alvar Aalto Viipuri library, a classic example of regional modernism. Built by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, the wave-shaped ceiling in the auditorium is the most talked about. Stroll down the Old Town Hall Square, to get a glimpse into the medieval past of Vyborg. Buy Finnish goods and taste the town's famous spicy pretzels at the Central Market.
