Kaliningrad region

Land of knights, Kant & amber where modern Russia meets Old Europe

James Brown heads to Russia's western exclave of Kaliningrad, where he discovers its modern and Prussian heritage. He first attends a bartending contest; there the event's host introduces him to different cocktails before the two head outside to explore the city's artistic heritage. Later, James heads to a marittime museum and goes scuba diving before visiting a war memorial outside the city, as well as the ruins of a fort and a modern horse farm. Then he tours an amber museum and goes sailing before hitting the beach, where he looks for the amber that the region is famous for.
