What to do and see in Kaliningrad, Northwestern District: The Best Cultural Tours
A little extra chunk of Russia stuck between Lithuania and Poland on the Baltic Sea, Kaliningrad was known as Königsberg from its founding by the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century until after World War II. It was renamed, repopulated with Russians and became part of the Soviet Union. Today, as it has been for centuries, it’s known for amber products, with most of the world’s harvestable amber still lying off its coast. The 14th century Königsberg Cathedral is a main city attraction.

We booked for the Swan Lake ballet on 25 December 2019, with travel date on 24 May 2020, through U Visit Russia. . Due to the Covit19 pandemic we were unable to visit Russia nor attend the ballet. Two tickets were purchased for US$465.50. U Visit Russia was advised of not being able to attend and agreed to pay a full refund but there would be a delay due to the number of cancellations. After some time no refund was forthcoming and U Visit Russia was again contacted by email and we were advised that due to the volume of cancellations the refund would be credited to our credit card within 9 weeks. Nothing and again they were contacted by email but no response was ever received. No refund was ever received. Nothing!! The lesson is to beware of ever dealing with this company.
4. Excursions to the Curonian spit
What can you expect: A pleasant walk in nature. Sandy beaches, mild climate, forest and water — just for those who are tired of the bustle of the city. The guide will not only tell you the historical facts, but also complement the story with stories from the life of archaeologists, ornithologists and foresters. Guests note that the guide provides information easily and with humor. Climb the observation tower EFA to see from the height of the Baltic sea, the Bay, the highest dune Vecekrug, gull lake and woodland. "Dancing forest" and "drunk forest". Here grow trees with unusual trunks of different shapes: round, zigzag, in right angles. Of the 6 hours of travel approximately 1.5 we will spend on the road. If you do not have enough time to swim and relax — just refuse the return transfer. Many tourists in good weather ask to leave them in the resort of Zelenogradsk -it is also possible with us.

Мы начнем нашу экскурсию с города Багратионовск (Пройсиш-Эйлау), город, где в феврале 1807 года русская и прусская армии дали генеральное сражение французской армии Наполеона. В историю это вошло как битва при Пройсиш-Эйлау (одно из самых кровопролитных сражений, не принесшее победы ни одной из сторон). Далее мы посетим городок Домново (Домнау) и город Правдинск (Фридланд), где в том же 1807 году Наполеон жестоко отомстил русско-прусской армии, которая допустила несколько стратегических ошибок, чем Наполеон воспользовался и одержал победу. В Правдинске мы посетим самое высокое здание России построенное в 16 веке - Фридландскую кирху, поднимемся на ее колокольню и с высоты сможем увидеть поле битвы. Следующий город маршрут - Железнодорожный (Гердауэн). Это город мечей, алхимиков и деревянных башмаков. Здесь мы осмотрим руины замка, замковый пруд и мельницу.
