Vyborg is located in Leningrad Region on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Finland, some 120 kilometers from St. Petersburg. Vyborg is famous for being Russia's most European city, renowned for its remarkably preserved 13th-century Swedish medieval castle and its multi-layered history as a territory that has belonged to Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Located right on the Gulf of Finland near the Finnish border, its unique aesthetic blends Nordic cobblestone charm, Finnish functionalist architecture, and Russian culture. Vyborg Castle is the town's ultimate symbol. Sitting on its own small island, it is the only fully preserved medieval fortress in Russia. Its defining feature is the 75-meter-tall St. Olaf's Tower, which offers panoramic views across Vyborg Bay and the historic center.
