About Kaliningrad

Located between Lithuania and Poland, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave, a city connected to Russia but not actually within Russia’s borders. Therefore the mother tongue in this city is Russian. Considering that fact, we recommend taking a Russian language book with you. This port city is closer to Europe, unlike other Russian cities. This environmentally friendly city has clean air and wonderful greenery. Due to its location on the shores of the Baltic Sea, fish soup is one of the most popular dishes. You can walk from one side of the city to the other in about 1-2 hours. The city was seriously damaged throughout World War II but several historic buildings have survived.
