Kaliningrad

Kaliningrad combines a Baltic coastline with low-lying inland plains in a way that reflects its position between Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic Sea. Russia’s western exclave is defined by water: the Pregolya River runs through its capital before reaching the Vistula Lagoon, while the Curonian Spit forms a long sandy barrier along the northeast coast and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. In Kaliningrad city, the rebuilt Königsberg Cathedral recalls the period when the city was Prussian Königsberg; philosopher Immanuel Kant is buried beside it. Farmland, woodland and lagoon shores give the oblast a rhythm distinct from Russia’s mainland.
