City Garden

Reviewed By ReindeerSpotting

It's got the cobbled street up to it, it has a band stand (where musicians actually play), and then there's treats for you if you look East, West, North or South. Now that's what I call a garden!

The statue is considered to be one of Odessa's main attractions. It stands at the Potemkin Stairs and looks over the harbor. Richelieu escaped the French Revolution, and remained Odessa's governor for 11 years. Please go near the statue and study its details.

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.

Odessa Passage was built at the end of the 19th century and was the best hotel in Southern Russia until the Bristol Hotel was opened. It was Polish architect Lew Włodek involved in that impressive building.

Monument to the 12th Chair

Reviewed By Yadernaya

The chair is devoted to a famous book by Russian/Soviet comedians Ilf and Petrov about Ostap Bender, a fraudulent guy who is trying to make money after hearing a rumor that a huge treasure is hidden in one of the 12 chairs of a set. unfortunately, at the USSR times those chairs belonged to an aristocrat and when the Soviet times came, they have been split and put in various locations all around USSR, starting from private owners to orphanages and municipal buildings. nobody knows which chair holds a treasure and whether anybody has discovered it before but Ostap doesn't give up. His trip brings him to Odessa and he now believes the treasure is definitely inside the chair that is in this city. Greed and naivety of Ostap fill the book with humour and social satire at the same time. Queues next to the chair symbolize an important part of the Soviet culture.

Ugolok Staroy Odessy/ Old Odessa Corner

Reviewed By pawel_hbg - Sopot, Poland

An open-air mini-museum can tell us a bit about the history of the city. It is a place with a collection of  interesting exhibits: the original form of garden furniture, humpbacked bridge with openwork lattice( make a wish and cross this bridge and your wish will come true), sculptural decoration, casting of griffin iron art, a well, dated the middle of XIX century.
