Vyborg

 

One of the best towns near St. Petersburg, taken from Finland following World War II. After a long period of underfunding, it has finally begun to be put in order.

 

Hermitage's branch museum.

 

Restored Pietinen's house opposite the station.

 

They even started restoring old doors, but not on such scale as in Kaliningrad oblast.

 

But in general, Vyborg still looks shabby.

 

Details.

 

Old Finnish inscriptions.

 

St. Elijah's Church.

 

House from the rail car. Someone lives in it with a cat.

 

Railway station.

 

Fire station.

 

The building of the former Czechoslovak consulate.

 

Next to it is a long-term construction, which was supposed to be completed in 2007.

 

Methods of local private debt collectors. Right at the entrance to the apartment building they write "So-and-so, return the debt."

 

Methods for strengthening old trees.

 

A copy of the tram car that ran in the city before the war.

 

There are still no cyclists in winter, and you can park on the bike path.

 

Getting in (as of November 2022): 2 hours by car or by train from St. Petersburg. Easy, fast and convenient.

What to buy: local kringles.
