Our tour will take you right to Odessa's heart - Primorskiy Boulevard. This street was laid out in 1827 with an original name the New Boulevard. This walking path connects two of the major Odessa's attractions – Vorontsov palace and City Council.
Touring through this Boulevard you can visit other historical and cultural attractions of Odessa, such as: the main city sea entrance Potemkin Stairway, the Cannon, the Richelieu monument; the Pushkin Monument; City Council; Opera and Ballet Theatre, Arcadia (modern resort area of Odessa), monument to Unknown sailor, French Boulevard (which used to be the residence place of rich and famous of the 19th century), Alley of Glory and many others amazing locations.
All of these spots have their unique history tightly connected with the history of the entire city. For instance, the great Canon set on the Primorskiy Boulevard used to shoot at the noon measuring the time in Odessa. Pushkin Monument was raised in 1887; it stands right on Primorskiy Boulevard near the City Council. The French Boulevard used to be just a country road. But it was no ordinary road. At the beginning of the 20th century rich people of Odessa took fancy to it and built their luxury villas along its sides.
Our Odessa tour would take you to the Unknown sailor monument. It was raised in 1960 during the Soviet times to honor all the sail men of Odessa killed during the World War II defending their city. The monument needle is almost 70 feet tall. The Alley of Glory leads up to the monument. Finally, our Odessa tour would take you to its famous Opera Theater. Initially, the Theater was built first built in 1803, so it became one of the oldest Odessa's theaters. However, this first building burned down and was replaced by the present day facility in 1887.
The average tour duration is 3 hours.
