We stop on the main city square in Pripyat, before taking a roughly 2-hour walk through the empty streets of this ‘ghost city.’
Along the way we’ll see the partially collapsed School No. 1, the highly radioactive hospital, the river port and the famous Pripyat Café; the Prometheus Cinema, the football stadium and the unused Ferris wheel, the swimming pool, and Hotel Polissya: which served as a base for the Soviet nuclear physicists sent in to examine the Zone after the accident.

Stop At: Duga Radar Russian Woodpecker, Chernobyl Ukraine
The military base known as Chernobyl-2 was a top-secret facility built around the massive Duga-1 Radar Antenna: a transmitter
measuring 150 meters high, and 1 km in length. Designed to detect incoming ballistic missiles, the object was nicknamed the ‘Russian Woodpecker’ due to the tapping noise it transmitted across radio frequencies. Today it remains as one of the most impressive Cold War artifacts anywhere in Ukraine.
