About KALININGRAD
Kaliningrad is also named Königsberg. Everything here has two names and two destinies.
The combination of Renaissance, rococo, baroque, Gothic and Soviet buildings and modern constructions — you will not find anything like that in any other town or city in great Russia.
The castle city. The fortress city. Protestant churches, gates, triumphal castles, towers, bastions and forts. Unusual sights, museums, galleries.
The Fifth Fort is the Russian national treasure. The Pre-Peter Shipbuilding Museum and the Museum of Pre-revolutionary Artefacts that were collected by locals from all the corners of the city. The Museum of the World Ocean and the world`s only deep submergence vehicle Mir-1. It has been used for exploring three oceans (at the depth of 6170 metres) and for shooting the film Titanic.

The city where you can feel the atmosphere of the works of the great philosopher Kant and the fairy tale writer Hoffmann.
The amber capital of the magic stone of happiness, health and sun.
The park city and its unique natural phenomenon the Curonian Spit — the dunes, the forest, the sand and the picturesque sea. Every spring and every autumn 250 species of birds make a stopover here.
