Выборг — это один из самых красивых городов России с богатой многовековой историей. Он располагается в западной части Карельского перешейка, в 122 км от Санкт-Петербурга.
Пройдемся по некоторым достопримечательностям города. Визитная карточка города – Выборгский замок. Сегодня здесь находятся Музей подводной археологии и Выборгский краеведческий музей. На территории замка действуют экспозиции, посвященные богатой истории этого края. Окунуться в атмосферу Средневековья помогут театрализованные представления и интерактивная выставка «Рыцарский зал».
Одно из самых красивых сооружений Выборга — часовая башня. Ранее на этом месте стоял католический храм. Во второй половине XVII века после пожара здание отремонтировали и достроили башни Олафа. Своё нынешнее название башня получила после установки на ней в 1660 году часов.
В конце XVIII века очередной пожар охватил весь Выборг. Императрица Екатерина II выделила из государственной казны деньги на восстановление пострадавших зданий и подарила городу набатный колокол, установленный впоследствии на башне вместе с новыми часами. Его звон и в наши дни раздаётся над Выборгом. В 1848 году часы заменили, добавив еще два циферблата.
Отдохнуть в городе можно на пляже или, прогулявшись, в красивых парках.

Vyborg is one of the most beautiful towns in Russia with a rich, centuries-old history. It is located in the western part of the Karelian Isthmus, 122 km from St. Petersburg.
Let's take a walk through some of the city's sights. The visiting card of the city is the Vyborg Castle. Today here are the Museum of Underwater Archaeology and Vyborg Museum of Local Lore. On the territory of the castle there are exhibitions devoted to the rich history of this region. Theatrical performances and interactive exhibition "Knight's hall" will help you to plunge into the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.
One of the most beautiful buildings in Vyborg is the clock tower. Earlier there was a Catholic church. In the second half of XVII century after a fire, the building was repaired and the Olaf Tower was completed. The tower got its present name after the clock was installed on it in 1660.
At the end of XVIII century another fire destroyed the whole Vyborg. The Empress Catherine II allocated money from the treasury to rebuild the damaged buildings and gave the town the alarm bell, installed later on the tower, together with a new clock. Its ringing still goes on in Vyborg. In 1848 the clock was replaced by adding two more dials.
You can relax in the city on the beach or, for a walk, in the beautiful parks.
