Kaliningrad Accommodation

Booking your own accommodation in Kaliningrad means having the freedom of going beyond restaurants. Baltic fish, including eel, halibut, and crayfish—both fresh and smoked—can be bought from local fishmongers, home-cooked, and enjoyed accompanied by the local vodka, Stari Königsberg.

In the old centre, you will surely notice Kaliningrad’s latest food trend: trendy restaurants serving old Prussian dishes such as Königsberger Klopse (veal meatballs in a white sauce). Visitors staying by the river, on the other hand, have quick access to charming riverside bars. The Fishing Village here is home to ample dining.

Kaliningrad’s old city centre is filled with hints of the city’s Prussian past. Renting a holiday home in this area allows visitors to immerse themselves in history, and get a privileged view of Königsberg Castle.

Baltika stadium, not far from the new centre, was built to host some of the matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and is now open to visitors.

Gemstones lovers will appreciate Kaliningrad’s natural amber. Before venturing into the shops, you can get familiar with this stone at the Kaliningrad Amber Museum, three kilometres away from the city centre.

Nature lovers looking to get away from it all can head for the Curonian Spit, an enchanting spit of land in the middle of the Baltic sea. There is a national park here, offering ample opportunity for swimming in the summer months, as well as hiking and birdwatching.
