While watching one of the Hollywood apocalyptic films or playing computer games—have you ever thought that a real ghost town is closer than you think? It is actually located in the center of Europe—in the Ukraine. 110 kilometers (70 miles) from the country’s capital—Kyiv, very close to the border with Belarus. A visit to Pripyat is an extraordinary experience—something you most probably have never seen and will never see. It is completely different from the usual sight seeing tours. In this post I am presenting a gallery of photos of this ghost town literally abandoned overnight thirty years ago.
