๐ Imagine a city where history meets modernity and centuries-old culture is in every corner. Kaliningrad has medieval buildings, cozy cafes, ancient cathedrals and interesting museums. ๐ท๐บWelcome to Kaliningrad!
๐ก Kaliningrad Forts
In the 19th century, when Kaliningrad was part of Prussia and called Koenigsberg, the construction of forts began. The purpose was to strengthen the city from possible attacks. The forts were connected by a network of underground passages and trenches, which allowed the garrison to move and defend effectively. Today, many of them are open to the public and serve not only as historical monuments, but also as places for cultural events.
๐ก Kant's Island
If you are on this island - be sure to visit the Cathedral (https://sobor39.ru/en/)! It is a building of the XIV century, built in the Gothic style. There is a museum inside it which is dedicated to Immanuel Kant, and not far away is the philosopher's grave.
๐ก Amber Museum
After visiting the cathedral, we advise you to visit the Amber Museum, which contains jewelry and household items made of amber from the Neolithic Age (IV - II thousand BC) to the present day.
๐ก World Ocean Museum
For science lovers and tourists with children, we recommend checking out this museum. There are several expositions dedicated to the world ocean and its inhabitants. You can also visit the research vessel โVityazโ, submarine B-413 and โCosmonaut Viktor Patsayevโ - this is the last surviving ship that was serviced by the Russian Mission Control Center.

The beauty of Siberia๐ท๐บ
โSiberia, like โthe cold,โ has for centuries been synonymous with the very image of Russia.
๐Technically, Siberia is the land east of the Ural Mountains and west of the Russian Far East. This area covers an area of 10 million square kilometers (4 million square miles, roughly two thirds of Russia) and extends 7,000 kilometers (4,350 miles) from east to west and encompasses eight time zones.
๐ฒ๐ปThere are four ecological main zones: 1) the treeless tundra in the north; 2) the taiga forest; 3) a complex region of steppes and hill country; and 4) a region of mountains, with some very high permanently snow-capped peaks. These include the Altai mountains, the Sayan mountains and the Tuvan mountains.
๐ฆWithin Siberia are 53,000 rivers, more than a million lakes, and five of the worldโs longest rivers: the Ob, the Irtysh, the Lena, the Yenisey and the Amur.
