5 days in Pripyat Itinerary

Pripyat is a ghost town in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus.Named after the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, as the ninth nuclear city (a type of closed city) in the Soviet Union, to serve the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Explore Pripyat's surroundings by going to Mizhrichynskyi Regional Landscape Park (in Kozelets) and Chernobyl (St. Elijah Church & Chernobyl Go). There's much more to do: don't miss a visit to Reactor No 4, expand your understanding of the military at Duga Radar Russian Woodpecker, and find something for the whole family at Pripyat Amusement Park.
