Christmas weekend in Kaliningrad

We invite you to a New Year's tale in the Kaliningrad region to wander through the waves of the morning surf, find a piece of amber, see medieval castles and taste local delicacies.   

Get acquainted with the village of Yantarny, where 90% of the world's amber reserves are concentrated, and visit the main attractions of the capital of the region. You will travel to the amazing, fragile world of the sand spit that separates the freshwater Curonian Lagoon from the salty Baltic Sea and the cozy resort towns of the region.

Itinerary

    The tour starts at 13:00, and the bus picks up guests from their hotels.

    City tour with a unique history.

    Once a Prussian settlement, later the capital of the formidable East Prussia, it is now one of the regional centers of the Russian Federation.

    Within three hours, you will cross the time boundaries of the history of several eras and peoples.

    You will visit the walls of the medieval cathedral, which has been preserved due to the proximity to the burial place of one of the great sons of the city.

    Take a trip to inspect the preserved city gates built in the 19th century, which once served their intended purpose.

    A festive Christmas tree on Victory Square is added to the usual list of attractions during the New Year holidays.

    You will definitely have the opportunity to add a group photo to your photo collection!

    16:30-17:00 Transfer to Zelenogradsk — a little Christmas mood!

    17:00-18:20 A significant number of monuments of German architecture have been restored in the resort city, new hotels and guest houses appear every year, and modern residential areas have been built.

    A wide sea promenade stretches along the seashore for 3 km.

    But despite the rapid modernization, Zelenogradsk has retained the cozy atmosphere of a small resort town with a web of ancient German streets.

    Zelenogradsk looks especially cozy during the holidays due to the rich New Year's decor.

    18:20-19:00 Return to Kaliningrad.
