Martov Kaliningrad met Hmuro guests. We flew here on the weekend, so I did not want to lose time. They settled into the room and run to the excursion kiosk - buy a sightseeing tour of the city, we ourselves did not have time to go around and see. A pleasant consultant consultant advised the company with which it is very nice to spend time, we bought a tour. Yes, and the price was pleasantly pleased - 500 rubles.
The first stop of our excursion is the most significant place in Kaliningrad is the island of Kant, a cozy place connected to the rest of the city's parts by a big bridge, completely fucked by "Love Castles". Here is the cathedral and the graves of the famous philosopher Immanuel Kant, hence the name of the island.
The cathedral is impressive by its greatness - outside the strict lines in the spirit of Friedrich the Great, and inside the angels, the golden stucco, stained glass windows. Services in the Cathedral now do not pass, the Cathedral is used as a platform for exhibitions and expositions. But the organ hall is not included in the excursion, there are concerts of organ music, the entrance to individual tickets, the price is up to 400 rubles per adult to the evening session.
Further, we moved across the bridge, and found themselves in the fishing village - this is a local ethnohard, it is already built in our time, but the spirit of old Königsberg is well recreated when he was still pre-war owned by Germany.
The place is very interesting, here you can touch everything, explore, soaring in the spirit of old good Prussia. Many here and shops with souvenirs, pass by them will not succeed.
And when the evening began to go to the city, we reached the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, he is relatively new (1995), but very majestic, he is the first in the city of the temple, built according to the "Rules of Orthodox Architecture", a five-chapted, whitewashed.
Everyone in the city delighted us, everything liked it - there is even a little non-Russian food here, a cafe is dominated from Lithuanian cuisine. Here you need to return and spend a whole vacation, the more my son really liked it, he photographed everything and recorded. He is very interested in history, and contact with a living story is very helpful.
