Kids under 16 can get a free ticket! (Not valid for the tower). 🥳 However, people under 16 cannot visit this island without an adult. 😔

Nice museum even just entrance ticket to the island ( 100rub for Russian and 200 rub for foreigners but foreigners can enter the island with 100rub if you buy ticket in the machine)

Museums are definetely not worth it, but you should 100% stroll around the castle itself. Very nice views, vibes are different from other places in the whole country (well it is the only real preserved medieval castle in all of Russia). 100% recommend but DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS with people dressed like knights and ladies, they will take all your money and then some!

Worth enough to visit ! The museum tell us a lot about the history of Vyborg. Most of discriptions are written in Russian but unexpectedly there are some English,also! +At the end of October, some parts of the castle were under construction so I couldn't see the whole Tips: They offer a special discount for Russian student card holders! And I'm not sure about international student ID card but at least we can try it :)

Definitely a must in Vyborg, still under restoration in some parts of the castle. But a mission up the stairs to the viewing platform over the city of Vyborg, an mediaeval fortress town.

Fantastic museum with several very different exhibitions, amongst them one being about the civic history of the Finnish period of Wyborg and the ecological make up of the region. Small and sweet and I would highly recommend!

Beautiful historically important castle dates to the Middle Ages. Located in the nice town of Vyborg.

I can rate it only from pictures what looks really nice,when we came to see it it was closed for reconstruction inside and outside even if information didn't mention about it.Check properly before you gonna go what you can get inside and not only look at big covered "something"

More cool live

(Translated by Google) The ruins are carefully fenced, and of course, it’s impossible to even imagine what the cathedral looked like. It is only possible to imagine the scale of the building itself, which commands respect. The cathedral was built in the 15th century and was Catholic, Lutheran, and Orthodox. Now there are ruins that cannot be called picturesque. Perhaps only the restored bell tower, now the Clock Tower, somehow brightens up the depressing impression and drives away thoughts of frailty. (Original) Тщательно огороженный руины, и конечно, даже представить как выглядел кафедральный собор не возможно. Возможно представить только масштаб самого строения, который вызывает уважение. Собор был построен в XV веке, был католическим, лютеранским, православным. Теперь руины, которые нельзя назвать живописными. Пожалуй только восстановленная колокольня, теперь она Часовая башня, как-то скрашивает гнетущее впечатление и отгоняет мысли о бренности.

(Translated by Google) An underrated Russian railway) there would be beauty there, restored and cleaned (Original) Недооценённый русский колезей) там бы Красоты была есть восстановили и почистили

(Translated by Google) It is difficult to evaluate something that cannot be evaluated. If only for the reason that I don’t know what it looked like before. But I see only the restored bell tower of the Cathedral - the current Clock Tower. Well, the Cathedral itself is now in such a state that it is unlikely that anyone will ever undertake to restore it. It would be more honest to “clean up” this site, removing the rather dangerous ruins, open to everyone, and erect some kind of memorial chapel in this place, reminiscent of the former greatness of this place. (Original) Трудно оценивать то, что оценить невозможно. Хотя бы по причине того, что я не знаю, как это выглядело раньше. А вижу только восстановленную колокольню Собора - нынешнюю Часовую башню. Ну а сам Собор нынче находится в таком состоянии, что вряд ли его кто-то когда-то возьмётся восстанавливать. Честнее было бы уж "вычистить" эту площадку, убрав довольно опасные руины, открытые для всех желающих, и поставить на этом месте какую-то мемориальную часовенку, напоминающую о былом величии этого места.

(Translated by Google) It's a pity that everything is abandoned and turned into a trash heap. It is unlikely that they will restore it, of course, which is a pity. Such buildings are always beautiful and attract tourists. Since the city is small, it’s not difficult to stop by and take a look at the past. But there is nothing to see there, and this attraction is dubious; there is something to see even without it. (Original) Жаль что всё заброшено и превратилось в помойку. Врядли восстановят конечно, а жаль. Такие сооружения всегда красивы и притягивают туристов. Так как город небольшой, то зайти постоять и окинуть взглядом былое не трудно. А так смотреть там нечего, и достопримечательность эта сомнительная, есть что посмотреть и без этого.

(Translated by Google) A significant place in the history of Vyborg. It was built by the Swedes to protect against the Muscovites. For many centuries it served as an outpost in the defense of the city. Even during the Great Patriotic War it played its role: it was on the spire of the Clock Tower that the red flag was hoisted as a point in the liberation of Vyborg from the troops of the Finnish army. (Original) Знаковое место в истории Выборга. Была построена шведами для защиты от московитов. На протяжении многих столетий служила форпостом в обороне города. Даже в годы Великой Отечественной войны сыграла свою роль: именно на шпиле Часовой башни был водружен красный флаг, как точка в освобождении Выборга от войск финской армии.

Many small stores are located here. The market has roof. Many of the workers are from abroad and speak russian. The main goods are cheap clothes and supermarket products. One can walk through the market within 10 minutes

This market was a bit dirty, most of the shopkeepers were nice but in the middle there are couple mid eastern men selling vegetables and they're way too pushy / agressive about selling the fruits and vegetables. I've been at this makrket couple times now on my trips and they've been annoying me there even though I was jut passing by to the next section.

Nice market to buy food and souvenirs. It has meat, vegetables, fruit, drinks, fishing gear, t-shirts, glassware, footwear and candies.

very impressive architecure. the market inside is a joke.

Good market.

Good market to stop by for quick souvenirs.

Expensive place made only for tourists, no authenticity

Good food and service. Pleasant medieval surroundings. The prices are adequate.

All dishes were delicious, well presented, good quality and reasonable price. Good vegetarian page in the menu, pumpkin soup is recommended.

The location is good, but the service and food were terrible. To top it all off, halfway through, our dinner was interrupted by a ridiculously loud and overdrawn folk music performance.

Everything is fine but the songs ,one more thing,you should provide fresh juice

Good service, good food, Great atmosphere in 15 century round house and English spoken

The building is exquisite, the interior design is lame, and the service is awful. Rude rednecks.

Autentic atmosphere . Tower restaurant having good food and deacent pricing

(Translated by Google) The cathedral was built by order of Catherine II in 1787-1793. Architect Nikolay Lvov. Not many buildings of this brilliant architect of the Classical era have survived. All of them are unusual, unique and original. This includes the Priory Palace, the Cathedral in Torzhok, the boulder bridge, the pyramid, of course “Kulich and Easter”, the Post Office and the gates of the Peter and Paul Fortress. This city is decorated with the wonderful Transfiguration Cathedral. You can come to Vyborg just to see it. (Original) Собор был построен по указу Екатерины II в 1787-1793 годы. Архитектор Николай Львов. Сохранилось не так уж много построек этого гениального архитектора эпохи классицизма. Все они необычны, неповторимы и оригинальны. Это и Приоратский дворец, собор в Торжке, валунный мост, пирамида, конечно «Кулич и Пасха», Почтамт и ворота в Петропавловской крепости. Вот этот город украшает замечательный Спасо-Преображенский собор. Только ради того чтобы его увидеть, можно приехать в Выборг.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful building built during the time of Catherine II. It is majestic and calm inside. A place with strong energy. I lit a candle for the repose of a person close to me. (Original) Красивое здание, построенное во времена Екатерины II. Внутри величественно и спокойно. Место с сильной энергетикой. Поставил свечку за упокой близкого мне человека.

(Translated by Google) Simultaneously with the construction of the Lutheran Church in 1783, by order of Catherine the Second, it was decided to begin the construction of a new Orthodox Church for the needs of the Russian population of Vyborg. The temple was consecrated on September 14, 1817. In 1826, a new side altar was installed on the left side in the name of the icon “Our Lady of All Who Sorrow.” In 1892, with the creation of the Vyborg diocese, the cathedral became a cathedral. In 1945, the church was mined, the archive was burned, and the icons were taken away. In 1947, the restoration of the cathedral began, but the old painting was restored in modern times. The colors turned out gloomy, blue and red colors prevail. It feels like the cathedral is very non-Russian, although it was built in a classic style for an Orthodox church. (Original) Одновременно с постройкой Лютеранского храма в 1783 году по повелению Екатерины Второй было решено приступить к возведению нового православного храма для нужд русского населения Выборга. Освящен храм 14 сентября 1817 года В 1826 году с левой стороны был установлен новый придельный алтарь во имя иконы «Богоматери всех скорбящих радость». В 1892 году, с созданием Выборгской епархии, собор стал кафедральным. В 1945 году церковь была заминирована, архив сожжен, иконы вывезены. С 1947 года началось восстановление собора, но старую роспись восстанавливали уже в современное время. Краски получились мрачноватые, синие и красные цвета превалируют. По ощущениям, собор очень НЕрусский, хотя выстроен в классическом для православного храма стиле.

(Translated by Google) The Transfiguration Cathedral was built in 1786 in the classicism style during the reign of Empress Catherine II. (Original) Спасо-Преображенский собор построен в 1786 в стиле классицизм в период правления императрицы Екатерины II.

(Translated by Google) This is pure classicism without any impurities! It stands at the end of a hefty empty square, which, however, perfectly “holds” with its architecture and volume. Not a masterpiece, of course, there are many similar, well-preserved churches in Russia from the mid-to-late 18th century with very similar architecture. But THIS one is in ITS place! (Original) Вот уж чистый классицизм без всяких примесей! Стоит в торце здоровенной пустой площади, которую, однако, своей архитектурой и объёмом прекрасно "держит". Не шедевр, конечно, много по России подобных, неплохо сохранившихся церквей середины-конца XVIII века с очень похожей архитектурой. Но ЭТА здесь на СВОЁМ месте!

(Translated by Google) The cathedral was built by decree of Catherine II, issued on December 18, 1786, according to the design of the architect N.A. Lvov (with changes made by the Vyborg provincial architect I. Brockman, who reduced the size of the temple, leaving all the decor unchanged). Initially, the temple was built with a dome; its portico, located in front of the main entrance, consisted of columns of the Tuscan order. Over the next century, the temple regularly changed its appearance. Initially, the bell tower of this temple was the Clock Tower, but then a new bell tower was built, standing separately from it. Somewhat later, the temple and the bell tower were connected. A tower clock was installed on the bell tower of the cathedral in 1797, but its chiming began to interrupt the ringing of the clock from the neighboring tower of the city police department. In this regard, and also due to the dilapidation of the mechanism, they decided to dismantle the clock in the 19th century (again, the clock on the bell tower of the cathedral appeared only in 2012). (Original) Собор был построен по указу Екатерины II, отданному 18 декабря 1786 года, по проекту архитектора Н.А. Львова (с изменениями, внесёнными Выборгским губернским архитектором И. Брокманом, который уменьшил размеры храма, оставив весь декор неизменным). Первоначально храм был построен купольным, его портик, расположенный перед главным входом, состоял из колонн тосканского ордера. В течение следующего столетия храм регулярно менял свой внешний вид. Изначально колокольней этого храма служила Часовая башня, но затем была выстроена новая, стоявшая отдельно от него колокольня. Несколько позже храм и колокольню соединили. На колокольне собора в 1797 году были установлены башенные часы, однако их бой стал перебивать звон часов с соседней башни городского полицейского управления. В связи с этим, а также по причине ветхости механизма, часы в XIX веке решили разобрать (снова часы на колокольне собора появились только в 2012 году).

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, beautiful small square with paving stones in front of the cathedral. A very photogenic place. I recommend looking at the cathedral at least from this square; we never visited the cathedral ourselves. But the surroundings are beautiful. I also really liked the antique lantern, which perfectly complements the photographs of this place. On a weekday at lunchtime there was no one on the square, I don’t know what it’s like there in the evenings. (Original) Красивое место, красивая небольшая площадь с брусчаткой перед собором. Очень фотогеничное место. Рекомендую посмотреть на собор хотя бы с этой площади, сами внутри собора мы так и не побывали. А вот окрестности красивые. Еще очень понравился фонарь под старину, который прекрасно дополняет фотографии этого места. В будний день в обеденное время на площади не было никого, не знаю, как там по вечерам.

Red square never borrowed it’s name from its Moscow namesake.

Square is okay with a lot of parking spots and Lenin on the place

Nice square sorounded by shops

Nice square in viborg

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) Red Square in Vyborg... one could come up with another name. Lenin, paving stones, but more notable on it is the apartment building of the merchant Moskvin in the northern Art Nouveau style. In general, the square is not the most remarkable place in the city; in fact, there is nothing special about it. There is an Alvar Aalto library near the square, I recommend visiting it. (Original) Красная площадь в Выборге... можно было бы придумать и иное название. Ленин, брусчатка, но более примечательным на ней является доходный дом купца Москвина в стиле северного модерна. В целом площадь - не самое примечательное место в городе, собственно, ничего особенного на ней нет. Рядом с площадью есть библиотека Алвара Аалто, рекомендую ее посетить.

(Translated by Google) There is a large Christmas tree and a photo zone for pleasant family photos on the square. Townspeople feed pigeons. For children, there is a mini go-kart track on the square. A wide beautiful square with a large Lenin monument. (Original) На площади установленна большая ёлка, фотозона для приятных семейных фото. Горожане кормят голубей. Для детей, на площади есть мини картодром. Широкая красивая площадь с большим памятником Ленина.

Slow service and steak was made wrong.

(Translated by Google) That's enough for a C grade. Such a good, solid one. I would have lost another point, but I liked Beef Stroganoff. Mmm, what a service! No sanitizers, no soap in the men's restroom, no masks for the staff. I spat on my palms the old fashioned way, rubbed it well and you can start eating. And what kind of fruit drink is here!? I don't think I've tried this in other establishments. You are at a loss - what is it made of? The subtle sweetish notes with the aroma of tap water are really confusing. I immediately remember YUPPI and ZUKO, extremely diluted. The pike perch was good... True, it drowned in mayonnaise with giblets. The result was a pool of mayonnaise with pike perch. Direct path to ➡🐷. This dish is not for those who love healthy seafood. Black bread... I couldn’t find where it was black. Maybe it was in a black bag when the restaurant unpacked it after purchasing it? It's not clear. Beef Stroganoff is perhaps the only edible dish that turned out to be. And yes, my son liked the book about vintage cars, which he leafed through with interest. So overall the impressions are average or slightly lower. (Original) На троечку вполне. Хорошую такую, добротную. Сбросил бы ещё балл, но Бифстроганов понравился. Ммм, а какой сервис! Ни тебе санитайзеров, ни мыла в мужском сан узле, ни масок у персонала. Плюнул на ладошки по-старинке, растëр хорошенечко и к трапезе можно приступать. А какой морс тут!? Я похоже не пробовал такой в иных заведениях. Теряешься в догадках - из чего же он? Еле уловимые сладковатые нотки с ароматом водопроводной воды реально сбивают с толку. Сразу вспоминаются ЮППИ и ЗУКО, разбавленные донельзя. Судак был хорош... Правда утонул он в майонезе с потрохами. Получился бассейн из майонеза с судаком. Прямой путь к ➡🐷. Блюдо не для любителей здоровой еды из морепродуктов. Чёрный хлеб... не нашёл в каком месте он чëрный. Может он был в чëрном пакете, когда в ресторане его распаковали после закупки? Не понятно. Бефстроганов - пожалуй единственное оказавшееся съедобное блюдо. И да - сыну понравилась книжка про старинные авто, которую он полистал с интересом. Так что в целом впечатления средненькие или чуть ниже.

(Translated by Google) My girlfriend and I came to eat and were disappointed. We won't come again. The girl ordered fish soup with cream for 350₽. and they brought it to her almost immediately... They thought that it had been prepared yesterday. After they brought the fish soup, I watched the girl eat it, and I was waiting for my beef stroganoff, which I already wanted to refuse because the girl had already eaten the fish soup. Well, since they brought it, they moved it.... Let the girl now watch me eat beef stroganoff for 450₽.🤷‍♂️ Unfortunately, the beef stroganoff was terrible...namely, the meat was tough, I couldn’t chew it and it felt like it wasn’t fresh, there was a lot of onion, that’s a lot! There's not enough cream( (Original) Пришли с девушкой по кушать и разочаровались. Больше не придем. Девушка заказала уху со сливками 350₽. и ей принесли почти сразу... Подумали что её вчера приготовили. После того как принесли уху я смотрел как её есть девушка а я ждал свой бефстроганов от которого уже хотел отказаться тк девушка уже уху до ела. Ну раз принесли то перенесли ....Пусть девушка теперь смотрит как я ем бефстроганов за 450₽.🤷‍♂️ К сожалению бефстроганов был ужасен....а именно, мясо жёсткое я его так и не разжевал и чувствуется что не свеже, лука очень много, вот прям много! А сливок мало(

(Translated by Google) Quite tasty! It was my first time in Vyborg on a bus excursion. We were taken to this restaurant. Unpretentious menu: salad, borscht, piece of beef with mayonnaise and mashed potatoes. Very good indeed! (Original) Вполне вкусно! В Выборге была впервые на автобусной экскурсии. Повели в этот ресторан. Неприхотливое меню: салат, борщ, кусок говядины под майонезом с пюре. Очень даже неплохо!

(Translated by Google) Very tasty. We come every week, no comments) The staff is very friendly, the food is delicious. The wait is not very long. The location is good. Tables for both small and large groups. I recommend visiting. (Original) Очень вкусно. Бываем каждую неделю, замечаний нет) Персонал очень радушный, еда вкусная. Ждать не очень долго. Расположение удачное. Столики и на маленькие компании и на большие. Рекомендую к посещению.

(Translated by Google) Delicious, but sooooo long. If you're willing to wait about an hour, the food is worth it. Strange musical background - a mixture of pop music 1980-2020. (Original) Вкусно, но оооочень долго. Если готовы ждать около часа, то еда того стоит Странное музыкальный фон - смесь попсы 1980-2020.

(Translated by Google) A very nice restaurant in the center of the old town of Vyborg. Prices are average - Finnish soup 350 rubles. Very tasty homemade buns. There was a renovation not long ago. (Original) Очень славный ресторан в центре старого города Выборга. Цены средние - финская уха 350 рублей. Очень вкусные домашние булочки. Не так давно был ремонт.

This is a nice cafe with tasty food including a few vegi dishes. Staff was very friendly. They even made a cool birthday present for my wife. This cafe works till 11pm, not like the most of them (8-9pm). Location is very convenient. I totally recommend this place.

Nice place with small space. Tasty food, large portions but impression was a little spoiled by the long wait (about 45 minutes).

Good Sushi with moderate price level.

Nice food, friendly staff (but service sometimes a bit slow). Would be also nice to have an English menu.

Cozy place. Localised sushi. So don't expect real Japanese sushi

Really good food

(Translated by Google) Delicious udon with chicken, fast serving and warmest tea, divided the portion of minari in half and served beautifully. Special thanks to the waiter Danil for the service, one of the best waiters in my memory. The prices, by the way, are very loyal and pleasant. 5 out of 5. (Original) Вкуснейшие удон с курицей, быстрая подача и теплейший чай, поделили порцию минари пополам и красиво подали. Официанту Данилу отдельное спасибо за обслуживание, один из лучших официантов на моей памяти. Цены кстати очень лояльные и приятные. 5 из 5.

We were looking die vegetarian options, which ist not so easy in Wyborg, and the nice waitress helped us find some dishes which weren't listed in the english menu. Very nice and it tasted good. So if you are not sure, just ask!

Bear meat was really great. Highly recommended is the wild platter for two (it's big portion). The athmosphere is really fitting and very well done!

Very colouful and atmospheric place. Extensive menu and very nice staff. Highly recommended

Great prices and food. Only minua would be the low ceilings... Even for a 173cm man they're low

Good.

(Translated by Google) After the walk we decided to go to a restaurant for dinner. A restrained and pleasant interior, consistent with the name, stuffed birds and animals, but without excesses, everything in moderation. Interesting details. Calm atmosphere. A good selection of music that doesn't hurt your ears. Good menu, large selection of hunting dishes. We took the “For Two” set and homemade pickles. An excellent assortment of well-cooked meats with a side dish of vegetables. Pork, lamb, beef, chicken, the meat is tender and juicy. The vegetables are tasty, moderately fried. The dish is served in a roasting pan on a hot burner. Therefore it stays hot for a long time. The crispy pickles complement it perfectly. Rich blackcurrant juice is very aromatic. Fast and attentive service. The waitresses are smiling and friendly. We had a pleasant evening. Thank you. (Original) После прогулки решили зайти на ужин в ресторан. Сдержанный и приятный интерьер,отвечающий названию, чучела птиц и зверей, но без излишеств, все в меру. Интересные детали. Спокойная атмосфера. Хорошая музыкальная подборка,не бьющая по ушам. Хорошее меню,большой выбор охотничьих блюд. Брали сет "На двоих" и домашние соленья. Отличное ассорти из хорошо приготовленного мяса с гарниром из овощей. Свинина, баранина,говядина, курица, мясо нежное и сочное. Овощи вкусные, в меру прожарены. Блюдо подаётся в жаровне на горячей конфорке. Поэтому долго остаётся горячим. Хрустящие соления отлично дополняют его. Насыщенный морс из чёрной смородины очень ароматный. Быстрое и внимательное обслуживание. Официантки улыбчивы и доброжелательны. Приятно провели вечер. Спасибо.

Пиво нормальное. Туалет закрывается на ключ от посторонних посетителей с улицы.

The best restaurant ever!!!! The food is delicious!!! The staff is very attentive.

Nice, quiet, quaint little place. The restaurant has a separate little bistro for a quick bite. Service is nice, and the food is good. The place is also quite fascinating, as it is a rebuilt version of the historic restaurant (est 1898) that burnt down in the previous century. A very unique place.

Nice interior and good service. Warm food is served on cold plates and tastes as if it was cooked a day before. No Finnish beer served.

Nice place inside the city park, in the middle of the town. I always eat the fillet that is really good. Good wine, nice people, very kind personnel

Super place, recommended. When it rain or cold outside it is awesome. We did it every day with no regret. Bon appétit.

Nice ambience..good food. Some vegetarian options is also available. English speaking staff. I loved the food n beer

I love it! Beautiful and tasty food and price was not much!
