Our adventure starts with a delightful stroll through Theatre Square, nestled in the heart of the city’s historic district. This elegant square is home to one of Europe’s most stunning architectural masterpieces—the Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater.

These legendary stairs, stretching 142 meters, serve as a grand entrance to the city from the sea. At their summit stands the statue of Duke de Richelieu, a beloved governor who played a vital role in Odessa’s development.

Our journey continues to the vibrant Deribasovskaya Street, a charming cobbled pedestrian street known for its beautiful 19th-century architecture.
