Kaliningrad is a small city in the Baltics.

Beautiful Kaliningrad, formerly known as Königsberg, can be traced back to 1255, when the city was founded by the Teutonic Knights. This place once belonged to Germany. It was the hometown of the great philosopher Kant and was also a cultural center of Germany. In 1945, the Soviet Red Army occupied the city, and after World War II, it became Soviet territory according to the Potsdam Agreement. Currently, the city is a Russian exclave. Kaliningrad is located on the Baltic Sea, with many lakes and rivers in the city and a mild and humid climate all year round. The overall feeling here is comfortable, clean, fresh and peaceful. Victory Square is the center of the new city area. The architectural layout of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Victory Monument is a bit like Victory Square in Moscow. Kaliningrad is rich in amber. In the specialized shops on the streets, there is a wide variety of amber jewelry. The prices are affordable and the authenticity is guaranteed. The Amber Museum in a Teutonic castle is world-famous. Here you can learn about the history and culture related to amber and appreciate many exquisite amber handicrafts. When you come to Kaliningrad, you will feel happy and relaxed whether you stroll on the streets, sit in a cafe, visit an exquisite church, or buy a few amber ornaments. If you have the chance to visit Russia, it is a great leisure destination.
