"Koenigsberg in Kaliningrad" - City tour
Description:
Kaliningrad is the most unique and contrasting Russian city. The history of the city of Kaliningrad begins in 1946, and before that it was called Koenigsberg.
763 years since the founding of the Royal Castle - the beginning of the birth of Koenigsberg. A huge layer of history; interesting facts; traces of Masonic lodges; amazing monuments of architecture; sculptures that have survived to this day - this will be the basis of our unforgettable excursion.
Following the route of our excursion, we will visit the most unique and oldest area of the city - Amalienau. The area of beautiful villas and European architecture, centuries-old trees and roads covered with native pavers. You will learn the history, buildings of Amalienau and you will be able to visually see how different social strata of Koenigsberg lived. Looking into the little-known corners of our city, we will see the monument to the "drum dogs" and the sculpture "girl with a cat" and you will learn their soulful and even tragic stories. Further along the route, we are waiting for: Brandenburg Gate; the Königsberg Marzipan Museum (here, if you wish, you can buy yourself a sweet one); the monument of the First World War (Kaliningrad region - the only region of Russia on the territory of which large-scale hostilities of this war took place); a two-tier bridge with a unique lifting mechanism, built in 1926; the harbor of the port; the Star Square; the Church of St. Adalbert; the Church of Queen Louise; the sculpture "Fighting bisons"; the Cathedral Cathedral; the Cathedral.
