LET’S GO ON A SIGHTSEEING TOUR

Once you arrive in Kaliningrad you may suddenly forget that you are actually in Russia – the unusual former name of the city “Königsberg” derives its origin from times when the Germans took over parts of the country and left their traces which can be found until today. Those who share the same passion for culture as for football, can go back to their childhood memories and visit imposing fortresses and castles, or even become a knight for themselves! Another architectural uniqueness are the city’s several gates, which date back to the 19th century.
