Volodymyrska St, 60, Kyiv, Oekraïne, 02000
Pripyat, Pripyat, Ukraine 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. 120 minutes
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. 60 minutes
Chernobyl, Chernobyl, Ukraine Today Chernobyl Town is the administrative center of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone – featuring admin buildings, a police station, fire station, several hotels and restaurants, plus grocery stores. We’ll stop to visit the Third Angel monument, a memorial complex incorporating
a map of the Exclusion Zone along with nameplates of all the abandoned villages from the region. 60 minutes
Semykhody Station, Kyivs'ka oblast, Ukraine The State Fire and Rescue Unit 2-DPRZ GTU of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties of Ukraine, earlier - ППЧ-17 for the protection of Chernobyl. The functions of the fire department are performed at the present time.
Firefighters ППЧ-17 arrived to extinguish a fire at the fourth power unit on the night of April 26, along with firefighters of Polesye ППЧ-31, only a little later than firefighters of the Pripyat SVPCh-6 and station ВПЧ-2, in the first hour of the accident.
Nowadays, it is also known for its makeshift “zoo” arranged by firefighters on the territory of the unit. In different years, young wild boar, wolf, fox, raccoon dog, red deer, Przhevalsky horse and other animals found in the forests of Chernobyl went and raised. Some of them took root in part, others were safely transferred to the zoos of Ukraine. 60 minutes

Great day in perfect weather (it was snowing) in Chernobyl. The guide was great and the bus driver made sure we arrived in all the different spots. My boyfriend loved it (it was his birthday present) and I also enjoyed the day (despite 0 degrees).

Our Guide Tania and driver Alexander were truly amazing, I had an awesome day with the best group of people from across the globe. We saw all kinds, walked miles in the snow and listened to the history and local info from a very knowledgeable Tania. The day was everything I hoped for and so much more. Thank you both at SoloEast, you're awesome! Thanks to the guys on the trip who turned my solo experience into the best group one I could ever have wanted. Highly recommend!

The most interesting part was the part about the power plant itself, the disaster, the technicalities and the liquidation after the disaster.
