Königsberg Fortress in Kaliningrad

This tour is suitable for those who are ready to immerse themselves in the history of the city with their heads. Kaliningrad is a unique city, examples of which simply do not exist. Even after more than 70 years, it has preserved its unique atmosphere: the underground structures of forts and bastions look the same as they did 160 years ago. And between the fortifications sprouted urban infrastructure of different time periods.

It is very difficult to understand it, so many who come here, not seeing the usual tourist center of the city and not understanding its structure, leave with not very good impressions. But all you need is someone to point to the right doors and give the right keys.
