- Сергей OxieMoscow, Russia3,906 contributionsI rented a car to go there from Kaliningrad. It was February (not the best season to explore the Split, I'd say). The day was damn blowy and gusty winds at the beach literally got inside me notwithstanding my anorak. The sea was covered with hypnotizing rip curls and formidable waves were hitting the shore and even crushing some trekking paths (I saw quite a few in shambles).
Still, I spent a gorgeous day there. Breathtaking panoramas, pristine nature, no tourists and some cozy places to hide from inclement weather.
I had lunch at the excellent Rybniy Dvor/Fischhoff restaurant in Rybachiy (see my separate review), did some shopping at an amber shop near it, crisscrossed the Split as much as I could and finally, in complete darkness, stumbled upon a fox (not sure which of us got frightened more).
Entrance fee is ridiculously low (less than USD 6 including a car) but you must bear in mind that it's a natural park with pretty strict rules - parking only in allocated places, no camping, no deviation from marked paths, etc. And the authorities mean it: fines are significant.
A must see! Try to choose better weather though but avoid the high season - too crowdy.Written May 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I walked all around, spent there about three hours. It is really a peaceful place.Written May 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alexander_KudrinSamara, Russia13,727 contributionsOn the same ticket as for the submarine, you can go to the nearby Water Cube pavilion.
It is a square blue glass building. Looking at it, you can understand what 2460 cubic meters of water look like.
On the second floor of the pavilion there is an exhibition hall dedicated to the history of the Russian fleet.
Here you can see flags, dummies of officers in naval uniforms, a collection of officers' caps from the fleets of different countries, as well as watch a short documentary film about the beginning of the era of military submarines.Written May 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Together with that, they make interesting excursions every few hours, so that it is possible to visit one and then continue wondering around, for instance.
To continue, the fort itself is a brick underground structure that was preserved quite well, with iron details and even furnitured rooms. However, when you go up one of the stairs that can be found in different hidden or not spaces of the fort, you find yourself in a peaceful green yard, infused with lush greneery flavors. In fact, it is possible to make a picnic, especially since there is a cafe that offers even a turkish coffee, it is easy to find it by the mouthwatering flavor. We were very lucky to have a splendid sunny weather during our visit.
Finally, I definately recomnend this place, especially if the weather is sunny, since this place is a true retreat.Written September 14, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The day was quite unfriendly - grey, windy, humid - and the place looked sort of abandoned from the outside.
They erected it obviously for the 2018 FIFA World Cup tourists. Looks like a nugget in the muck: a nice waterfront neighbouring drab faceless blocks of flats from the communist times.
It is really quite small - half an hour walk, not more. There are cafes and restaurants there, of course, but do not expect anything extraordinary, including seafood. Just simple and overpriced snack bars, sort of bistros, etc. Best places to enjoy your meals (Villa Toscana, Mushkino, Hoffmann, Steindamm 99) are located in other places.
Nevertheless, recommended.Written May 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is unique in that it was preserved in its original form and is the only submarine in the country that belongs to the pre-atomic period of the submarine fleet.
Having descended inside the boat, we see everything the same as it was here before the withdrawal of the submarine from the fleet.
You can look into all the cabins and see their interior.
So in the galley there are canned fish, in the radio room - all the equipment and logbooks.
You can sit in the officer's quarters of the company. Having been inside, you understand how hard it was for submariners on long trips to stay in these tiny rooms for a long time.
As you move along the boat, an audio audio guide is turned on, which tells in detail what is around you.
Definitely an interesting excursion, it will be interesting for both adults and children.Written May 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Prices of jewellery outside the museum are high.Written November 11, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alexander_KudrinSamara, Russia13,727 contributionsThe grave of the famous German philosopher is adjacent to the cathedral.
It was rebuilt several times and now we can see the 1924 version of the building in a minimalist manner. Straight columns, ascetic.

- SaidahJulesDubai, United Arab Emirates557 contributionsI would definitely rate it 5 stars for those who is interested in history and like such kind of places. For me it was interesting to visit and feel the energy of that place, our history. It’s sad and heartbreaking to think about war, but it’s definitely valuable historical place. People should know about this and value. Would recommend to go by car (taxi or ur own).Written September 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Takarasina1,994 contributionsI drove through it in May and had honour to stuck in a traffic jam under this attraction - as thousands who live in Kaliningrad/Königsberg and use their vehicles to shuttle to their work and back home.
The gate looks really nice and well-maintained. As distinct from most of Königsberg, it was not touched either by British carpet bombings or Soviet artillery during WWII. Hence its quite good condition.
There's a small charming free private marzipan museum inside where one can taste yummie coffee flavoured with tantalizing aroma of this almond confection.
Modest parking opportunities are available at the crossing of the Bagrationa street and the Yuzhniy lane (for free!).
A great photo opportunity - in sunny weather.
