The most western region of Russia, Kaliningrad, is slowly becoming known to tourists, though it’s still outshined by major destinations such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

While it’s not a major destination for travelers who visit Russia, Kaliningrad boasts unique history, plenty of charm, and close proximity to Europe. Unlike other cities in Russia, it offers a mix of historic landmarks alongside skyscrapers and huge blocks of apartment buildings. It’s also widely known as the city of amber—a fossilized resin sometimes called “sunstone”—as this stone is one of the major exports from the region.
