In your exploration of the other side of Kiev, an experienced guide will lead you through the tunnel system beneath the city streets, take you to one of the neglected nuclear bunkers from the cold war, and help you climb an abandoned building’s rooftop for a panoramic view of the city. This exciting adventure will take about 3 hours of your time.
- Urbex Tour - The guide will meet you at the “Dnipro” metro station, or you can arrange to be picked up from your location.
To navigate the underground route, wear comfortable shoes and clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty and wet—you’re heading into real underground tunnels. Prepare for an adventure!
Pants should have a belt, or bring a belt separately. The underground temperature is around +12°C, regardless of the surface temperature.
Avoid bringing large backpacks and bags. It’s best not to bring bags at all, or opt for a smaller one. Moving through tunnels with large bags full of heavy camera gear is uncomfortable.
You will be provided with:
• Torches
• Gloves
• Rubber high boots (from a Soviet military protective wear set)
• Transfer between locations is included
PART 1. Depending on the season, the first part of the combo UrbEx tour involves visiting a drain tunnel system or an underground river. This segment involves 1.5 to 3 hours of walking through underground tunnels. We will provide torches and special rubber boots to wear over your shoes to keep your feet clean and dry. With an experienced guide, you will:
• Walk 1.5-3 kilometers through the tunnels
• Learn everything about Kiev’s underground world

PART 2. Explore one of the abandoned Cold War bunkers forgotten since the USSR era. The bunker expedition offers a chance to step behind massive Soviet hermetic blast doors into an abandoned fallout shelter.
