Svetlogorsk — a resort town on the shores of the Baltic Sea — is located near Kaliningrad. Here, you will see old villas and new buildings in Prussian style. What else? Let’s tell you more! The town is unique in that it is built almost in the middle of a forest! It is the first Russian city to join the international association “Cittaslow” (Slow City). This is a list of calm places with many green and pedestrian zones. Of course, the first thing everyone rushes to see is the raging sea. There is a well-maintained promenade here. You can enjoy local food in the cafes on the promenade and, descending to the beach, sunbathe. The symbol of the town is considered to be the spa with a water tower, built in the 20th century in the style of German Romanticism. During the Soviet era, sculptor Nikolai Frolov made a clock especially for this architectural masterpiece. Today, the medical institution still operates. Tourists can enter here only with sanatorium passes. At “Yantar Hall,” you can attend concerts, performances, shows by local ensembles, and famous artists. Here, do not miss the branch of the World Ocean Museum in Kaliningrad — the Maritime Exhibition Center with interesting exhibits. The building is also considered an excellent example of modern architecture. Have you ever listened to an organ? The best organ on the Baltic coast is located in the “Makarov” hall — in a former Catholic chapel. The organ was custom-made by the famous German company “Hugo Mayer.”
