In a couple of days I will be traveling to Warsaw, and from then on towards Kaliningrad, having booked the morning bus on Ecolines, starting from Warsaw Zachodnia.

Do any of you have experience with Ecolines and/or this route in particular? So far I’ve been using PKS from Gdańsk through the Mamonovo crossing, but this one is supposed to go through Bagrationovsk. Is it any different from what I’m used to?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all I am travelling to kaliningrad on the 8th, returning on the 12th. Both journeys via the bus route from kaliningrad to poland. I am seeing a lot of things about being denied entry to poland on return. As a UK citizen who will be flying home 48 hours from entering poland again, would I likely be denied entry to poland? Getting into kaliningrad doesn't seem to be a problem, but getting out is worrying me. Can someone shed light on this situation? Best regards

Hi there

Is it possible to carry a non-motorized bicycle on the buses that travel to Kaliningrad from Gdansk?

Many thanks

Hello there! Are there foreigners in here that are currently living in Kaliningrad? What are your hobbies? Where do you join activities or workshops?

If I'm granted the evisa, I will visit Kaliningrad oblast at the end of June (and later Leningrad oblast). I never used Airbnb but for this cycling trip that's ahead of me, it may turn out to be useful in big cities. As expected though, Airbnb doesn't participate on the Russian market anymore.

Thus I'd like to ask if there's a similar Russian online service, or a foreign one that doesn't participate in the stupid sanctions?

If there isn't, could you recommend a good platform for booking Russian hotels?

Even if payment with Western credit cards isn't possible, I'd see where good privately rented rooms/apartments or hotels are and would contact them asking if cash payment is possible.

Thank you very much

Hi, I'll be visiting Kaliningrad for a couple of days and I'm thrilled to get to know this very interesting place.

I'll be coming from Gdansk by bus.

Any recommendations regarding a nice (simple, central) hotel for 1 or 2 nights? Might fly to Moscow after that but not sure yet. Many, many thanks.

Hello, As already described in the title, I would like to visit Kaliningrad Oblast and the rest of the Baltic countries. I am German and would like to drive my mom’s car to Gdansk -> Kaliningrad -> Vilnius -> Riga -> Tallinn to visit all Baltic countries. I have heard that I need an e-visa. Do I need any other documents like car insurance or similar? And what about the Border Guards in Grzechotki and Советск? Do I need to show some other papers when leaving Russia? Thank you, Спасибо :) Oh and btw I know Cyrillic and some Basic Level A1 Russian.

I was there for a week. I had an incredible time. Anyone coming on here looking to see "if its safe" or anything like that, go. I went as a dual Irish/US citizen on an e-visa. Definitely go, its an incredible and fascinating place.

I also highly recommend the beautiful beach town capital of cats, Zelenogradsk.

I feel confident in saying Russia is the friendliest country I have ever visited, and I experienced this all in Kaliningrad.

большое спасибо!

There are many cool villages to explore it seems in this oblast, what's the best way of getting to them?

Do Yandex Taxis Operate Through the Entire Oblast? (Not just the city)

Any other options? Regional transport deals?

Hello everyone, in may I plan to visit Kaliningrad from Poland. But for the return trip I have to go back via Lithuanian Chernyshevskoye - Kibartai checkpoint. Are there any specific rules for this border crossing? I hold a bosnian passport so I can travel to EU Schengen countries and Russia visa free.

I'm a british citizen with a british passport hoping to visit Kaliningrad, according to my research i can travel on a bus from Poland to Kaliningrad but i can not return on a bus back across the Polish border? is this correct?

Hello,

I am a Russian American traveler planning on visiting Kaliningrad from Gdansk sometime this month. I am in Poland with my US passport but will arrive in Kaliningrad with my RUS passport. How do I leave Kaliningrad afterwards? As I heard there are complications with Poland border, should I go to Lithuania after?

Thanks for reading

Trying to see what it looks like now. Saw demolition pictures from a while back.

Some links to book buses from Gdansk to Kaliningrad ?

I would like to know if currently it is possible to travel via Bus from Gdansk to Kaliningrad ? Are there any links for the same. I am a permanent resident in EU and citizen of Russia.

Thanks

I am a US citizen looking to solo travel to Kaliningrad from Gdansk in June. Some people think it would not be a safe place to travel because of the political situation between Russia and the West.
What do you think?

There’s a number of websites that come up in search and some are not showing times for week days so it’s very confusing.

Hi, I'm a Brazilian living in the Netherlands and I will be travelling to Lithuania soon, I would like to go Kaliningrad, but I'm not sure if it's possible because of the war restrictions.

I am a Kaliningrad citizen, and I want to find people who have recently arrived or have lived here for a long time, for a walk around the city, I understand English quite well, but I write and speak often with a translator, I want to improve my skills in English, I hope for understanding, write in PM!

I'm a Canadian citizen planning on travelling to Moscow via Kaliningrad on April 1st. I know things change quickly, so does anyone know if the land border to Kaliningrad is still open?

В мае собираюсь посетить Калининград, еду на 6 дней. Какая у вас обычно погода в этот месяц? Какие достопримечательности есть, какие города/места в городах посетить? Куда съездить за город?

I'm trying to dig further on my 4×great grandfather, who claimed to have been born in Kaliningrad in 1847. His name was Ignace/Ignatius Almanofsky/альмановский.

Any suggestions on where I would start looking, other than travelling to look physically myself in person?

Планирую в Мае отпуск в Калининграде, посоветуйте проверенные компании по прокату. В поиске нашел парочку, но у нас же не как в европе (вышел из аэропорта и там сразу 5 разных прокатов), а надо договариваться по телефону и в итоге не понятно где норальные а где нет.
