Old photos attest that until 1945 Königsberg was one of Europe’s finest-looking cities: regal, vibrant, cultured and an archi- tectural gem. But WWII, later Soviet destruction of German-era constructions and misguided building projects saw to it that today’s Kaliningrad is not exactly eye-candy.
However, there are lovely residential corners of the city that predate the war, a forestlike park and a few large ponds which work as effective antidotes to all the concrete. A number of central areas have been given a recent and friendly face-lift. It’s also a vibrant, fun-loving city that feels larger than its population would suggest.
