An old Swedish-Finnish-Russian town

Hi everybody!

I am happy to live in a very interesting place. It is Russia and it is so close to Europe at the same time, part of my region was Swedish and Finnish many years ago.

So I don’t even need to cross the border to travel a little.

I wanna show you Vyborg (Finnish Viipurri, Russian Cyrillic Выборг). Vyborg doesn’t look like Russia at all! (Be sure, I will show you how Russia really looks like a little later).

Vyborg just looks like this

Here is the Vyborg Castle. It was founded during The Third Swedish Crusade and fought during years between Sweden and Novgorod (Novgorod is an ancient Russian town, a very important part of our history and culture).

Inside it

The moat and shadow of the Castle

Now Vyborg is not just a historical place. You can have fun an eat tasty as well ;) I’m not going to show you my food and coffee. But look at the Knights Room at the first floor of the Castle!

You just pay about 5 US dollars and you can try on and wear all the armor and even weapon! Of course, you should be careful ))

I used to (look like Jane of Arc) have long red hair not so long ago )
