In Odessa there are so many conditions for combining business with pleasure that the rest in it will be remembered for a long time.
First of all, Odessa is a warm sea, hot sun, beautiful tan. The Black Sea coast is almost a continuous resort area. The swimming season lasts until October. There are medicinal mud, mineral springs. But this is not the most important thing. Here you can go yachting, diving, surfing … This is the romance of long journeys, sea, waves, wind and sails, as well as a lot of educational excursions!
Journey into history
You don't have to go far to make an excursion into the history of the city. The city has an archaeological and historical museum of local lore, not far from Odessa - an excavation area. You can walk along the famous Deribasovskaya street, as well as admire the monument to the founder of the city, Jose de Ribas, after whom the street is named. On the seaside boulevard, there is a monument to another founder, Duke de Richelieu. In the city garden of Odessa in the evenings they admire the light and music performance of the fountains. The Filiki Eteria Museum will remind you of Greek roots. You can go down the Potemkin Stairs to the sea, and back up on the funicular, visit the catacombs, see the open-air museum of anchors. And be sure to visit the Odessa Defense Memorial.
For children
Young guests of Odessa will undoubtedly want to visit the zoological garden. They will be especially interested in visiting a petting zoo, because nowadays children rarely see not only wild animals, but also domestic animals. And here you can even touch the animals, pick them up, look at their feeding.
Odessa is famous for its puppet theater and theater for young spectators. It is worth visiting the Wax Museum "At Baba Ooty", where, along with sculptures of real people, images of heroes of popular films and cartoons are exhibited. Be sure to visit the dolphinarium.
Have fun together
In Odessa, you just need to visit the House of Clowns - the theater of the famous group "Masks". They also created an art cafe "Restor Mana-Mana", where various events for children are held, and a cinema "Masks". You can sit on the twelfth chair, or on a bench next to the bronze Utesov. Not far on the balcony there is a monument to the second Russian aviator - Utochkin. Near the Pecheskago restaurant you will meet with Ostap Bender and Kisa Vorobyaninov. Why not sway, passing along the "Mother-in-law Bridge" - an example of a son-in-law's love for his mother-in-law, sit in the "Gogol-Mogol" cafe, the fence of which is made of … bicycles! And the tables of the cafe stand on the books instead of legs! Visit the Musical Comedy Theater or the Smuggling Museum, and admire the Flat House or the Orange Monument. Men will certainly be interested in the Shustov Cognac Museum, and women will be amazed by the "Passage", where there are numerous shops, and the walls themselves are decorated with sculptural compositions.
