Kaliningrad — a city you can’t manage without a guide: it’s woven from different eras and reveals itself to far from everyone. This guide will be your personal key to its secrets: the romantic Amalienau, the fortresses of old Königsberg, the promenade in Svetlogorsk, and bike routes that locals are usually the only ones to know. A native of the city, Alexander Bulychev, tells it in such a way that Kaliningrad stays with you for a long time.
There are cities that are best explored together with a guide — and Kaliningrad is exactly that kind. It’s built from layers of history and doesn’t always reveal itself at first glance. This guide will help you find the key to the mysteries hidden in its streets and neighborhoods.
On the pages of the book, you’ll find routes for every taste. You’ll feel the special romance of Amalienau. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Rasthof and Jüditten. Follow in the footsteps of 19th-century Königsberg — through fortresses, bastions, and city gates. And then breathe in the Baltic air on the promenade in Svetlogorsk.
The guide will suit those who love long walks on foot, as well as those who prefer fast trips by bicycle or scooter. The material was compiled by Alexander Bulychev — he was born in Kaliningrad and navigates here flawlessly. He knows how to tell the story of the city so that you want to come back again and again.
“Dear readers, don’t rush! Let the city have time to look you over!” — Alexander Bulychev.
