📍 Destination Overview
Kaliningrad, a Baltic exclave ringed by Lithuania and Poland, is Russia's westernmost point. Formerly Konigsberg, capital of East Prussia, it was renamed in 1945. Famous for philosopher Kant's tomb and an Amber Museum holding about 90 percent of the world's amber, it preserves Konigsberg Cathedral, while the Curonian Spit's dunes are World Heritage, giving it a unique European identity.
