Tour to Chernobyl

It represents the progress and power of human genius, capable of creating something great. And at the same time, all those worst human qualities that caused the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. One of the worst tragedies of the 20th century.

To visit Chernobyl is like being in an alternative reality film. See with your own eyes the answer to the question: how would the planet live if there were no us - people. To wonder about the role of a human in this world, about his abilities and capabilities. To rethink a lot... It is impossible to come back indifferent after a trip to the Chernobyl Zone.

Today it is quite safe here. Moreover, the dose of radiation that can be obtained in the Chernobyl zone per day is equivalent to 1 hour of flight in an airplane (for example, during fluorography, people receive radiation 160 times more, and during computed tomography - 3600 times more!)

One-day group tours to Chernobyl are carried out by our partner - a licensed tour operator in Ukraine. They provide group tours in English every day. There is also the opportunity to go to Chernobyl for an individual tour for 1 or 2 days.
