My father was born there when it was still called Koenigsberg. Thanks for this video❤

I have to remind myself sometimes that this is not a film crew, but a one person production. You're very skilled with both filming and editing. I'm grateful that you spend your free days grinding out videos for your channel. I really enjoy your videos.

Willkommen in Kaliniingrad! Hoffentlich hat es dir bei uns gut gefallen!)

As a person who appreciates all cultures, I've been watching your videos and enjoy being taken along your journeys. As a side note, my german grandmother was born in Königsberg and always told me of her life in East Prussia. One day I hope to visit.

I went to Königsberg (now Kaliningrad) in Fall of 1942 and also to Tilsit and went there to school for a few month, before I returned to Silesia.

Thanks Eli! Beautiful video as usual! The place looks amazing also!

You make the videos so well. It makes me feel I have known you all my life though physically and culturally, we are poles apart. My hats off to you Eli.

I'm in love!....with marzipan of course. Love your vids best wishes from Australia. Take care, also great choice of music to finish with.

Eli, always interesting things from you, Kaliningrad, so close, and far a way, from Sweden. Keep it up with your nice little documentaries.

Hi Eli from Russia. Every day's a school day. I love learning about your beautiful country and the people within it🥰

Great video. We visited Kaliningrad in 2018 for the World Cup and I agree people there are so friendly and accommodating. Actually we found people to be very friendly everywhere we traveled in Russia, hope this war is over soon so we can visit again. Kaliningrad is very interesting, there are only a few structures left from the former Königsberg (apart from the cobbled streets), there are a few places from the old walls 2 gates, one of which has been turned into a museum, very interesting. I think they must get a lot of German tourists (or did get), as you see souvenirs in most shops with Königsberg on them.

Not a single word about Immanuel Kant 😢 one of the most important philosophers of the last centuries. He spent his whole life in Königsberg.
