Chernobyl Exclusive Tours - The meeting and departure point of your tour to Chernobyl. Enter the 3 story building for check-in.
Chernobyl - The administrative center of controlling the radiation-dangerous territories alienated in 1986, the population of the town was about 13,000 people before the accident.
Duga Radar Russian Woodpecker - The over-the-horizon radar station (“Chernobyl-2”) is the most secret object of the Soviet Union and was marked as a “summer camp” on all topographic maps of that time. For the distinctive sound in the air while working (knocking) was called “Russian Woodpecker”. The height of the station is about 150 meters, length 800 meters.
Semykhody Station - An explosion occurred during the project test completely destroyed the reactor at about 1:24 am, April 26, 1986.

Pripyat - The abandoned city with a lot of radioactive fallout at a present. Dust firmly stuck into the ground, trees, houses. The city is overgrown with artemisia (lat.), which also grew in the vicinity before the accident. Empty buildings gradually come into disrepair under the influence of the environment. The oldest buildings of the city are destroyed most rapidly: for example, the building of the first secondary school, which collapsed in 2005 and had two collapses in 2013.
Pripyat Amusement Park - The non-functioning park is located in the center of Pripyat, behind the square with the buildings of the department store, the Energetik Palace of Culture and Polissya Hotel. The most famous object in the park is the Ferris wheel, which became one of the symbols of both Pripyat and the entire Chernobyl exclusion zone as a whole later. The wheel never worked; its launch was planned for May 1, 1986. The park is one of the heavily infected sites in Pripyat.
