Reactor No 4

Reviewed By B1714D - Belgrade, Serbia

The sole fact you're standing 300 m away from the worst nuclear disaster in world history makes you creepy and scared what'd happen with mankind if things went little more wrong than they actually did. It's a place to remember, to learn and to pay your respects for those who gave their lives preventing a catastrophy on a bigger scale.

Rynok Square

Reviewed By R1380TWstephenm - Lviv, Ukraine

Lviv dates back to the 12th century and its center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Rynok, or central square, is the centerpiece of this area. Far from being history frozen in amber, it's a vibrant and beautiful place filled day and night with people. There are several wonderful museums on the Rynok, and it would really be a shame not to climb to the top of the city hall tower to get a commanding view of old Lviv. On one corner of the square is a functioning pharmacy, which also contains a Pharmacy Museum that's a can't miss attraction (be sure to venture downstairs!) Surrounding he Rynok is a ring of restaurants and coffee shops, with a variety of Ukrainian and other cuiines served. At night the Rynok is alive with outdoor dining, street musicians, and the sounds of the brass orchestra at the Pravda Beer Theater, a three story bottle shop and lively restaurant / pub. Just off the Rynok are streets with a wide variety of businesses ranging from the Lviv Handmade Chocolate Company to a Thai street food restaurant.

Svyatogo Yura Cathedral

Reviewed By X5564XMjimh - Chisinau, Moldova

St. George's Cathedral is a Greek Catholic 18th-century cathedral with rococo yellow facade, housing an icon of the Virgin Mary. During 19th and 20th centuries, the cathedral served as the mother church of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The cathedral reflects both Western influences and the traditions of Ukrainian church construction. She's a beauty- don't miss this opportunity!

Duga Radar Russian Woodpecker

Reviewed By 618boba - Stockport, United Kingdom

Came here as part of a group tour. Had never heard of the radar stations but did know about the wood pecking noises. We were guided around by our registered guide - you cannot visit without being part of a proper group and entering the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone officially and with a permit. The radars themselves are immense - there are two. I've never seen annoying like it in my life and having already visited a former nuclear missile launch centre in Ukraine this visit really hit home. You are not officially permitted to enter the buildings, however we were shown into some of the former computer rooms, the control room and to see some of the things left by the Soviets after they closed down and evacuated. The whole site is overgrown, ransacked and empty to a large degree, however it is brought to life by the guide. Well worth visiting.

Lychakiv Cemetery

Reviewed By 706alastairm

An extraordinary collection of Ukrainian, Polish and German graves, including the final resting places of several notable figures including Ivan Franko. A beautiful and calm place to walk and soak up the atmosphere. Stop at the general store opposite the main gate (behind the flower shop) for drinks on your way in.

Primorsky Boulevard

Reviewed By B5144FIjohnh - London, United Kingdom

We really enjoyed exploring the gardens along the Primorsky Boulevard both during the day & at night when it was lit up with coloured lights. There are benches along the length of the park so plenty of places to rest & take in the views across the Black Sea. Halfway down the Potemkin Steps are the Istanbul & Greek gardens which feature statues & fountains etc. Definitely worth a visit.
