Kaliningrad City Break

3 nights winter break in Kaliningrad. Kaliningrad was once known as Koenigsberg, land of Teutonic knights, capital of east Prussia, home of philosopher Immanuel Kant, and one of Europe's finest looking cities. Has become a quirky corner of Europe to visit, a true testament to 20th century history. A curious place for the discerning traveller. Tourism is developing, as people come to see this fascinating place. Amid the austere Soviet architecture, there are still suggestions of a more creative German past. Picturesque Königsberg buildings, such as the cathedral, become even more appealing amid a sea of monotonous concrete. Whilst the region's Baltic cousins have embraced modern European culture with a vengeance, this unique enclave appears hesitant to sever links with its Soviet past. NB cost covers flight and hotel accomodation (based on 2 sharing) and breakfast only. On our own for everything else, but lots of scope.
