Primorsky Boulevard, Odessa

Go native with a stroll along Primorsky Boulevard, a favorite street among the locals. The boulevard's charming setting draws visitors with its street performers and numerous historical buildings. Located on a steep shoreline, this central area stretches a mere 500 m (1,640 ft), but its entire length represents the city's vibrant culture and history. Wherever you look you'll see old classicist buildings adorned with colonnades, cannons pointing at the sea as a reminder of battles, and statues of prominent historical figures, such as the Duke of Richelieu and Alexander Pushkin. Visit the marina to see yachts and sailboats. Don't miss the ruins of a Greek settlement here, dating back to the 6th century BCE.
