One of the finest ways to become acquainted with Odessa's magnificent historical, architectural and cultural heritage is featured in this fascinating full-day excursion. Start with a brief drive to Primorsky Boulevard, a beautiful wide and grand promenade, which borders the seafront for its entire length and is lined with majestic 100 year-old chestnut and plane trees. The panorama of this busy harbour city will soon unfold before you as you pause to see the city's probably most cherished monument to the Duke de Richelieu and the impressive Potemkin Staircase, of cinematographic fame, which descends dramatically 455 feet to the seafront. The parade of sights on this walking part of the tour will include many of Odessa 's most impressive buildings, squares and monuments: the City Hall, monument to Pushkin, and fabulous Odessa Opera House. Classical style building of Archeological museum, one of the oldest in Ukraine, will discover the rich history of the place.
