KALININGRAD
Kaliningrad has one of the most turbulent - and interesting histories - of any territory in Europe. Now Russian, but once Prussian, German and Polish, Kaliningrad’s architecture is a fascinating mix of the old Prussian red-brick buildings, Soviet blocks of flats, detached houses, brand-new Orthodox churches and glass high-rises. Kaliningrad’s pride is the Königsberg Cathedral and the beautiful nature reserve of Kurshskaya Spit.
