    Throughout its centuries-old history, Konigsberg was a fortress city and remained impregnable until April 1945. 

    The city gates, towers, bastions and forts preserved in Kaliningrad are examples of the brilliant embodiment of the most modern military engineering thought in Europe of the past years. 

    An exciting tour awaits you with a drive along the defensive fortifications of the inner defensive ring of the city: the defensive rampart, the moat, the Don Tower, the bastions, the Kronprinz defensive barracks and, of course, the gates of the city.

    You will also visit the outer line of defense of Konigsberg and visit two forts of the city of Kaliningrad. 

    Visit to Fort No. 1 "Stein". This well-preserved fort will amaze you with the power of its walls and the ingenuity of such fortresses.       

    Visit to Fort No. 5 "King Frederick William III". At the end of World War II, Fort No. 5 became the site of fierce battles between the Soviet Red Army and German Nazi troops, and also witnessed the unparalleled courage of our Soviet soldiers during the storming of Konigsberg in April 1945. 

    Our tour will end in the very center of the city at the bunker where the underground headquarters of the Konigsberg garrison was located at the end of the war. Here an agreement was reached on the surrender of the German troops. 

    The situation of the headquarters was preserved in the bunker at the time of the surrender of the German garrison on April 9, 1945. The atmosphere and circumstances of this most important event in the annals of our victory have been recreated.

    Visiting the bunker on your own is optional. Tickets are purchased in the bunker at the museum's ticket office.
