Odessa Oblast trip planner

A lively port area, Odessa Oblast boasts bustling boardwalks lined with neoclassical buildings, a vibrant cafe culture, and ample sandy beaches. The city of Odessa's charming (although somewhat run-down) Old Town and extensive food market provide a taste of the region's culture and history, while numerous nightclubs and duty-free port shopping are popular attractions for the hedonistic traveler. Locals and tourists alike enjoy people-watching on the energetic boulevards, usually accompanied by a coffee or cold Ukrainian beer. Away from the city, the dramatic Black Sea coast, vast orchards, and a smattering of impressive historical sites populate Ukraine's largest oblast.
