Day2:Optional Tour
Full-Day Tour of Chernobyl and Pripyat from Kiev
price 120EUR
Chernobyl is the most famous Ukrainian phenomenon.
If you plan to visit Ukraine or are already in the country, don't miss the most important and unique experience and site.
Radiation makes the zone particularly interesting. Now at the ground there lays, in the thousand-times-decreased scale, a picture of contamination after a large radiation incident – the picture extremely intricate, interesting, representative also for chemical accidents and terrorist attacks, and fortunately already safe for the visitors.
Of course, the Zone in its central part still has places with elevated radiation, and we definitely would NOT recommend you staying at them for a long time.
However, if you follow the suggested route and the guides' directions, your visit to the Chornobyl zone will be absolutely radiation-safe.
During the tour you will see:
