Travelers who have climbed to the observation platforms of Odessa will be able to admire Deribasovskaya Street, Vorontsov Palace, City Garden, Novikov and Count Tolstoy palaces, Odessa Opera House and other objects from above.
Observation deck of the Marine Station
The observation deck (each wing of the site is 50 m long) with the best views of the “business cards” of Odessa (Primorsky Boulevard, Vorontsovsky Mayak, Opera House) can be found on the 7th floor of the seaport. In addition, marine objects are clearly visible from here - those who wish will be able to observe the movement of ships in the harbor.
An excursion (visitors will listen to information about the history of the port and the city), involving a visit to the observation deck, costs about 40 hryvnia.
The Potemkin Stairs
Having overcome more than 190 steps of the staircase (height - 27 m), from above, tourists will be able to admire the harbor, seaport, Odessa Bay. This object is also interesting for the popular competition, the goal of which is to race to the top of the stairs (a record time of 2013 - 22.8 seconds).
