KALININGRAD

The region has been known from classical antiquity as a main source of amber in Europe. Around 90 percent of the world’s amber deposits are located here. The Amber Museum’s galleries are full of curiosities - from enormous 4kg chunks to chips that have encased ancient insects for hundreds of thousands of years.
