My native land is wide ... There are a lot of palaces, museums, mountains in it ... That's exactly the sound of Lebedev-Kumach's song, think of it to write not for the government's order, but for curious tourists.
Sights of Russia have long beena proverb in the country not only for its inhabitants, but also for foreign guests. Our country - a kind of quintessence, where many of the world-famous cultural and historical monuments are gathered.
The main sights of Russia includeitself, perhaps, three tourist itineraries. First, of course, this is Moscow. With its white-stone temples and wide squares, with world-famous stadiums and museums. Secondly, this is St. Petersburg, which has long been called the cultural capital of Russia. That's where the real expanse of tourists. Even unremarkable courtyards-wells sometimes keep secrets within themselves. But, apart from them, there is always the fussy Nevsky and Tretyakovka, Petropavlovka and the granite Neva, which carries majestically its waters. The third most popular tourist route is the famous Golden Ring. Eight cities, keeping in themselves the silent memory of the past, surrounded by a dense ring of Moscow, are rightly considered the greatest value of our country.
And there is Vyborg - an ancient northern town, which until 1940 belonged to Finland. Now he is on the territory of the Russian Federation.
The sights of Vyborg containThe taste of Finnish rigor and refinement. The streets of the old city are not full of advertising, they are quiet and cozy. You can wander around them, not noticing the time, looking into the courtyards and absorbing the gray dust of the old architecture.
In Vyborg, the synthesis of cultures is nowhere felt. It absorbed Swedish, Finnish and Russian traditions. Attractions of Vyborg will make you love this city and come back to it again and again.
First of all, it should be noted VyborgThe castle is the only medieval castle in Russia. Russia is not generous with such architectural delights as Mother Russia. Why not generous? Yes, because in the Middle Ages in Russia, the Kremlin and fortifications were built, but there were no castles. You can get into it from the side of the Castle Bridge, which is remarkable for its amazing beauty.
Attractions of Vyborg subjugate theirsimplicity and elusive attractiveness. Take, for example, the Clock Tower. It has not been repaired for a long time, but nevertheless there are some inexplicable charm and charm in it, which attracts to itself, not allowing to pass by.
Monrepo Park ... If you are in search oflandscape paradise, you should definitely look here. His heart is a manor and park ensemble in the style of classicism. But the rock park itself is not inferior in its natural beauty to the masterpieces of architecture.
And let the sights of Vyborg are now not in the best condition, but the merciless time can not erase the greatness and luxury that were originally incorporated in them.
