The Old Castle (fortress) beautifully located on the island. Museum, gift shop. Excellent views of the surrounding area. It's a very atmospheric place.
The best gift for a former opera/operative/operative
["Psychologically, there are serious differences between an operative and employees of other police units, for example, the psychologist of the Ministry of Internal Affairs claims:
"Operas must be cunning, transform, merge with the environment, the investigator is not so alive, he is an analyst, a thinking person," on the contrary, according to many operatives, since it is often the operative who initiates the initiation of a criminal case, "the investigator is an appendage to a typewriter, he does not disclose anything, but simply documents what the operative""] got for his birthday (or October 5...) is to listen and see the opera in the Olavinlinna fortress at the Savonlinna Opera Festival, which has been scheduled to take place in the summer since 1912.
A beautiful medieval lake fortress with an interesting story, which I will not tell you about :). There are museums dedicated to the history of the castle and Orthodox iconography within the walls of the fortress.
In addition, the Savonlinna Opera Festival has been held here every summer since 1912. Our family has a tradition of riding it. Savonlinna at this time is a sunny resort town with seas of tourists and an appropriate atmosphere. Listening to the opera in Olavinlinna Fortress is an unforgettable experience. I advise you to repeat our experience!
