What to see in Kaliningrad: interesting sights of the city

Amalienau is the soul of Kaliningrad. This is one of the oldest German areas where luxury villas were once built. Rent a car and head out to see the legacy of the pre-war past. Each house is like a work of art. Some of them are made in art nouveau style; in the architecture of others, there is a renaissance and classic styles. The attention of tourists deserves the gray villa Schmidt, yellow-red villa Makovsky, partially half-timbered villa Leo. Interestingly, there are no intersections with right angles; on the contrary, the streets meander in arcs. Such a design system is absolutely contrary to the Prussian canons of urban development.
