On a note!
When going to Kaliningrad, it will not be superfluous to take an umbrella with you, since the weather in the city is changeable and it may suddenly start to rain. If you are one of those who like night walks around the city, please note that there is no public transport in Kaliningrad after 23:00, and if you need to use a taxi, call it by phone (it will be cheaper than catching a taxi on the street).
As mementos, it is worth bringing amber products (jewelry, interior items) - buy them only in specialized stores (most are located in the central area of the city), since souvenir shops often sell fakes, and it costs the same as natural stones.
