Day Trips in Kiev

"After the HBO show took TV ratings by storm, even those who had never heard about Chernobyl started flocking to the sight. If you’re one of the people intrigued by the biggest nuclear disaster in history, you can take a guided tour to Chernobyl and see the ghost town of Pripyat and the reactor itself.Now, the first question on your mind is probably, “Is it safe to go?” According to the tour company, it is — as long as you stay on the route and follow the guide’s safety instructions. The route is away from the areas that are still contaminated, and you’ll be equipped with a radiation meter to monitor your levels.The tour will give you a sneak peek into abandoned Pripyat homes, where dusty dolls are still waiting for their owners. You’ll also be able to see the deserted amusement park and ominous Red Forest. The fee for the tour includes transfer to the sight and lunch at a real Chernobyl cafeteria. Just keep in mind the site is a tragic one, and keep the selfies to a minimal." - MATADOR_NETWORK
