## Geography

[edit]

The district is situated around Kaliningrad, the administrative center of the oblast. For this reason the main railway lines and roads pass through the district.

To the north the district reaches the Curonian Lagoon, to the southwest—the Vistula Lagoon. In the west, parted from the rest of the district by Kaliningrad, the town of Svetly is located on the Vistula Lagoon.

## Administrative and municipal status

[edit]

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Guryevsky District is one of the fifteen in the oblast.[1] The town of Guryevsk serves as its administrative center.[2]

As a municipal division, the district has been incorporated as Guryevsky Urban Okrug since May 31, 2013.[5] Prior to that date, the district was incorporated as Guryevsky Municipal District, which was subdivided into one urban settlement and seven rural settlements, including Orekhovka.
