B-413 Submarine
Mentioned on
Maritime museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
The maritime museum B-413 Submarine is a cool place to visit for anyone interested in submarines. The exhibits inside tell the story of the submarine, from its construction to its use by the Soviet Union and Russia. It is part of a larger collection of boats at museums of oceans, and it is worth visiting if you're curious about maritime history.
You can't even imagine how difficult and unbelievable is to live and work in the submarine. Go and discover world of small spaces under the water. How they work, sleep, fight and go to the restroom. Take a walk from top to end and learn how difficult is to maintain it working. Wonderful experience!

This was a cool place to visit. For decades a submarine used by Soviet Union and Russia. It's part of bigger collections of boat at Museums of Oceans. It is 300 rubles to get into boat. It is really striking just how cramped and claustrophobic it is. The displays are in Russian but still got a good sense of how it felt in the vehicle.
Very interesting object to visit, rarely where to see everything inside. Definitely worth a visit
Greatly preserved and renovated Soviet / Russian Federation Navy attack submarine constructed in 1960s and being in service until recent years.
Unique opportunity to visit military submarine. Very interesting especially if you have never seen something like this before.
Amazing experience to visit the real boat! An audio guide was helpfull as it was available in a number of languages - English, Russian, Lithuanian, etc.
It's really cool in there and I think it's the best place you can go in that museum
Brilliant experience into Russian Naval history. Would recommend it to anyone who has the slightest interest in Naval history.
If you over 1.90 cm high, better to stay outside 😁.
But if seriously only for one-time visiting, just to see the ship from inside.

Fort Donkhoff
Mentioned on
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Fort Donkhoff is a 19th-century fort that boasts a moat filled with water, earthen embankments, and inner courtyards. It is the best-preserved fort among those in the area because it never saw any real combat. Currently undergoing extensive restoration works, visitors can explore the site with or without a guide who offers free hourly tours. Additionally, there are paid amenities such as a café and shooting range available on-site.
Wonderful historical place. You can order excursion in English beforehand or just pay for ticket and come to see the fort built in 19th century.
Elena T — Google review
From all of the forts this one is considered to be in the best condition because it never saw real combat. It is also being restored quite extensively lately, so you might see more than in the other forts. A guide gives free tours at the start of every hour but if you wish you can wander through the fort all by yourself. There's also a cafe and a shooting range operating there but those aren't free.
Not to mention that the location is quite far from center, the fortress offers you a free tour for around an hour in the Russian language. It is interesting to know story behind. There is no proper toilet, so be aware. There is only one place to eat but they microwaved the meals (not fresh). Area is nice. Ticket is 250. Worth to visit.
Fortress is in good condition. It’s seems personal love what they do. Very interesting guide, at least in Russian. Awesome coffee and cocoa at the point there. Worth to visit
Had a great time, historic place, you can walk almost everywhere. Recommend to take an hour(50min) with a guide
Nice place - old military buildings with no special exhibition.
Very cool museum..lots of interesting places..very well maintained..we liked this place very much..and grate coffee and cafe in the inner yard 😉👍
Fantastic place, very good!

Curonian Spit
Mentioned on
Peninsula
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Curonian Spit is a popular tourist destination along the Baltic Sea, spanning 98 kilometers and featuring beaches and resort towns. Although it experiences seasonal closures outside of summer, visitors can obtain visas to walk from Europe to Russia. However, recent summers in Northern Europe have seen unusual cold and rainy weather patterns, requiring travelers to bring essential items such as umbrellas and raincoats even on sunny days. Despite these challenges, the Curonian Spit remains a sought-after vacation spot for those seeking seaside relaxation.
This 40-foot sundial stands atop the Parnidis Dune, one of the scenic highlights of Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site shared by Lithuania and Russia. Built in 1995, the sundial was damaged by a hurricane a few years later and rebuilt in 2011. It accurately tells time by creating shadows on the steps, with notches for hours and half hours, as well as months, equinoxes, and solstices.
March 20 marks the spring (or vernal) equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning that for the next six months daylight hours will outlast nighttime darkness. When it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere, those of us above the equator are tilted away from the sun, giving us shorter days and longer nights. In summer, we're tilted toward the sun, but the equinox is right in between. It's the moment during Earth's annual revolution around the sun when its axis is neither tilting away nor tilting toward the sun, giving everyone on the planet an equal split of day and night. This phenomenon happens twice a year—in March and again in September. In the Southern Hemisphere, everything's flipped. There, it's the autumnal equinox today — and, yes, winter is coming.

Might be unique wonder of nature, but human touch (ferry service capacity from and to mainlaind) makes the experience of getting there uniquely painful and nightmarish. 5 hours(!!) waiting in car at the ferry terminal (back and forth) to have 2 hours in the Sea museum (as there was no time left for anything else). All thumbs down for (de)organized logistics here.
I am very pleased to have visited this place. With a visa you can walk from Europe to Russia.
Was very disappointed, there where sign's all over the place saying keep off sand dunes before I got onto the beach then I walked onto the beach and there was no sand and only a puddle of water. I was ready to go the the beach and everything. I brought my beach chair and sunscreen and just wanted a nice peaceful day at the beach but there was no beach for me to be at.
30 euros to enter plus ferry expenses plus atractions entrance fee is way too expensive to pay for the place. Extremely overrated. You can see places like this throughout Europe for free. I was deeply disappointed.
One of the most intriguing & disturbing scenes the beaches are spectacular its s wonderful drive down fromKailipeda
Great place , but bad surprise entry fee 20EUR for without notice on road only at place where need to pay . Didn’t check this before driving there
Very unpleasant experience

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Old House Apartment Museum in Kaliningrad gives a fascinating insight into how a typical apartment in this area would have looked 100 years ago, with interesting items including furniture and period pieces. Designed as a meeting place for interesting meetings, lectures and excursions, the museum is also great for children who love to learn about history through objects.
Really interesting insight into merchant's home 100 years ago. (Tour is in Russian only but you can grasp essentials even with very limited Russian)
Helen Matthews — Google review
Ticket is 500 rubles and you will get 40 minutes of guided tour only in Russian language. For me it is a bit over priced. The room is only one floor and interesting to know how people lived 100 years ago. But in my personal opinion, nothing is surprising to see the house, but to hear the story is a great experience.
It helped me to imagine the house of my charger (artist and writer)
Definitely worth a visit. Small, but so well done. And if you are lucky, like me, to have an English speaking guide, you will learn so much more.
Nice place, but not many things to see. Museum doesn't work on Sunday
Suggest to visit👍👍👍

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Königsberg Cathedral is a brick Gothic-style religious building situated on the island of Kneiphof in the Pregel River, Kaliningrad, Russia. It is an important monument as it is one of the few remaining structures from the former City of Konigsberg which was almost completely destroyed during World War II.
ケーニヒスベルク時代の大聖堂とイマニュエル・カントの墓、博物館があります。カリーニングラードに来たら、ぜひとも立ち寄りたい歴史的な遺産です。オルガン演奏もあります。

The Königsberg cathedral, the tomb of Immanuel Kant and the museum. If you come to Kaliningrad, it is a historical heritage that you definitely want to stop by. There is also an organ performance.

Amazing place to check out and kaliningrad itself it has a lot of history, and I would definitely recommend going to check it out. Here are a few photo I took
2021年12月訪問。普通の大聖堂。上部に博物館とカントのお墓。興味がある人には良いかも。

Visited December 2021. ordinary cathedral. Museum and Kant's grave at the top. Good for those who are interested.
It is a Brick Gothic-style monument in Kaliningrad and is the most significant preserved building of the former city of Königsberg, which was largely destroyed in World War II.
The construction was completed in 1380. Although it was heavily damaged in World War II, it has since been restored afterward.
It is the largest brick church in the Baltic region and has three towers, and a 700-pipe organ (one of the largest in Russia).
The interesting fact about it is that It is the burial place of Immanuel Kant, the famous philosopher and his statue is in the cathedral as well.
There are lots of interactive parts inside the exhibition about Kant, for example in one part you can ask any question from him, and he'll answer you!
If you are interested in learning more about the history of Königsberg or the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, then a visit to the cathedral is a must.
Beautiful cathedral was built in 14th century. Doest function as an regular cathedral nowadays. It's is a museum. To get in you need to buy a ticket. There is also possibility to listen to organ music there.
Another place I did not have the pleasure of experiencing its interior. It is worth the time to walk to it and enjoy the vendors and views of the pond and park.
We enjoyed organ concert. Mozart sounded so wonderful. I am very impressed
The catjedral hosts now the musem of Emmanuel Kant and organ concerts. It si more interesting to watch here outsode than inside. Afterall the cathedral was bombed djrong the ww2 and for a long time it was a ruin. Worth for a visit.
Beatiful building resounding park and lake. Walk from main road to this cathedral and go to fishing village and Kaliningrad stadium. Take some time to buy some amber outside stall.
Standing proudly in the heart of Königsberg, the Königsberg Cathedral serves as a captivating testament to the rich history and architectural grandeur of the region. With its imposing presence and intricate details, this majestic cathedral holds within its walls the echoes of centuries past.
The Königsberg Cathedral, originally known as the Cathedral of the Holy Family, stands as an iconic symbol of Prussian heritage. Constructed in the 14th century, it served as the spiritual heart of the medieval city of Königsberg, the former capital of East Prussia.
The cathedral's towering spires and Gothic architecture reflect the magnificence and power of the Teutonic Knights, who once ruled over the region. The Teutonic Knights, also known as the Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem, were a medieval Catholic military order founded in the late 12th century.
One notable feature within the cathedral is the tomb of Immanuel Kant, the renowned German philosopher who spent most of his life in Königsberg. His final resting place is a site of pilgrimage for intellectuals and admirers of his philosophical contributions.

First restaurant in Kaliningrad according to TripAdvisor rank. It’s located into shopping malll but if You go go inside You will not feel it.
Great staff, very clear english menu with exact pics of dishes. Food here is like from heaven. Very soft dumplings, really tasty barshch, beef strogonoff with potato puree also perfect. The bill for 3 people under 2000RUB which is OK for such service. Very nice owner who said „dasvidania” when we went out. RECOMMENDED place to visit!
Delicious! We had the haddock tartar, the mushroom caviar, borsch and stroganoff. Highly recommended.
Go for the Ukrainian sausage and for a dark beer. You can't go wrong with this! Also, english friendly staff with english menus.
Waited 30 minutes for service... And when waiter passed by.. He told me table was closed and i had to move to another table.... Waiter got angry.. Took away the menus from table and never came back.... Very funny restaurant... When my friend asked for manager..he got the manager with the security guy...and they demanded we leave. Better to go to some other place
Perfect all together. Affordable, good food and friendly staff. Got a couple of shots included with our food. Quick service. Beautiful music. Very impressed.
Nice restaurant at Kaliningrad city sqare. Food is tasty, prices are correct, toilettes clean, staff pleasant.
Decent food, but limited on that day in options of food. It wasn't a wow factor, chairs were super hard for me, chicken was a bit dry, presentation overall was good. Wasn't thoroughly impressed, just average. For 5 star food and service while paying 2 star pricing, go to Fischer restaurant, German style food with russian soul.
Came here on the recommendation of locals. The welcome drink (hrenovuha) from the chef was good especially together with the bowl of borsch. All of the dishes served were tasty. Service was quite speedy.

Ugli is a restaurant that takes its name from the word "coals" and specializes in dishes cooked over an open flame. The menu features a variety of meaty options, including steaks, home-smoked duck breast, salmon, and baked bone marrow on rye toast. The restaurant offers well-chosen wines to pair with the meals. The ambiance combines elements of an industrial warehouse with a cozy woodland cabin, creating a unique dining atmosphere. Guests appreciate the friendly service and value for money.
I loved the place, location food and atmosphere and most importantly the wonderful staff.Honestly i had nothing but good food and great service,music was also great.
Denis Utrobin — Google review
Both the menu and the service just don't match the expectations of a place rated so highly. The food is nicely served but lacks the inspiration or variety for that matter, the service could be improved as well, with less intrusive touch (where appropriate - that's what the waiters should be sensitive to). The interiors are nicely designed and thought through, apparently.
To summarise - I'd rate it 5* if it was less expensive, but you just don't get what you pay for here 🤷🏻♂️
Fukken amazing value, great food, cute staff, and they will pack the leftovers if you accidentally order too much.
The menus are available in English, though the one for drinks is only in Russian (western brands of beer or whatever are still in Latin letters).
All in all, a great spot! If only it was the closest restaurant to a better hotel than "Moscow."
Super nice and trendy. The steak I had was the best I’ve had in my life - and I lived in Argentina!! Staff are nice, food is good and the cocktails are great!
Lovely place, nice staff, beautiful people
Great atmosphere and excellent service. They have a large selection of wines. Moderate prices. I would recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Kaliningrad.
Grill restaurant with blizzard interior. Good grilled meat dishes. The grilled cabbage as side dish has very interesting taste with meat.
Delicious food (burger was amazing), nice hostess, cozy atmosphere.

Rybnyy Klub is a top choice for seafood enthusiasts in Kaliningrad. While it may be on the pricier side, its delectable menu and picturesque waterfront location along the Pregolya River make it a worthwhile dining experience. The restaurant offers a formal dining room as well as an open terrace with views of the river and Kant Island.
Amazing food! All the seafoods are extremely fresh and of a very high quality. Didn’t explore too much, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the best fish restaurant in town. The prices are a bit high for Kaliningrad, but still much lower than in Moscow for this quality.
Fish Club platter is a must to try!
Valeriya Avdeeva — Google review
Well, place is nice regarding design. Food is fine, but not spectacular regarding serving. What is down for this place is a Service. I was with a friend. We ordered 2 different dishes. After 20 min my friend received his. After another 10 waitress came with information that they dont have the Fish i ordered. They needed half hour to come to this coclusion. No sign of apologise like a complimentary drink or a dessert. For them there was no issue. So my experience was rather poor after all.
Price not fit to quality . Ucha was like solanka. Very strange. Kotleta were good but smashed potato had very strange taste.
To many tastes not give you understand what exactly you eat.
Hidden costs beware! They will exploit the bill if you are not local, you will pay double the price. The price of drinks are not shown , and once you make an order it will be too late. Russian scammers!
Excellent food and service, the prices are high but it is worth it!
Good food but small portions. Nice and helpful staff.
Very tasty food, fish especially. The restaurant is one of the best fish restaurants in Kaliningrad
Posh, pricy and nothing impressive. Old school atmosphere, 90th)) never ever again

Khmel prides itself on its traditional Russian cuisine and the variety of beers it offers in its highly acclaimed beer restaurant. The interior is adorned with industrial elements such as steel beams, dark wood accents, and atmospheric lighting, creating a brew house-inspired atmosphere. You can indulge in classic dishes like venison, wild boar, and sterlet while enjoying a refreshing pint. This establishment not only satisfies your hunger but also feeds your soul.
Food was really nice, i had raindeer fillet with blackcurrant sauce and potato pure. In compare to it's price it was totally worth. Other dishes ex. fish, raindeer burger also pretty nice. Nice thing is that yoy get a pair of gloves to your burger, so you don't get messy too much. Highly recommend!

Russia surprises! We love it!
Excellent food-excellent staff-fair prices-perfect location
Due to my profession in the hospitality industry as motivation and marketing trainer on top management level I was super happy to experience friendly, well informed staff.
Food was prepared like the "real thing".
Nicely decorated, but not too much.
I would say it was the very good taste of Russian dishes.
Even if it is located in a shopping mall this restaurant is really good. What we ate was very good and tasty. I had a beer produced by them and was too quite good. The personel was professional and ok. Prices are really good. One of the places in Kaliningrad were you can be satisfied with the meal.
Loved the place - we went for the whole line-up of their house beers and plenty of different seafood and fish meals: absolutely delicious smoked mackerel and some baked whitefish with barley, as well as a grilled squid, aubergine rolls and pan-fried potatoes with forest mushrooms). Everything was just great and served perfectly (the waiter's name was Alexei - he was knowledgeable and courteous). Given we've paid less that 30 quid for the dinner - the place is a real marvel of Kaliningrad fine dining. Strongly recommended!
Amazing place! Awesome food and beer for right price. Service is amazing with very kind and energetic personal doing their best and knowing what they are doing. Food is great as I said and also gigantic portions =) Another good point is that there is an english meny and staff at least some of them speak english. We are very happy with everything and will come back again. P.s. you can buy their amazing and not expensive beer with you 👌
Decent food and pretty good service. We were there on a busy night during a world cup match but the staff still could handle the crowd. English menu is available and makes it a lot easier to get what you really want. Nothing spectacular but a trusty choice if you're visiting.
I was so lucky : the barman is nice and kind, working with a smile. The beer and food was good. The atmosphere was good.
The atmosphere was great and good local beer. Sadly food was not good at all, frozen meat, hair in the food, grillfood taste very bad and even borsjtj meat tasted bad.
Overall a nice place but food is not good at all. Good service and nice service people thou!
