In 2019 for my birthday I ticked off a bucket list item - thankfully I managed to get it done before the world shut down.
I had always wanted to to visit Chernobyl and the surrounding exclusion zone as I knew it would make epic photographs. I spent 2 days inside the exclusion and it really wasn't enough - I had plans to go back but several things in the world stopped that.
I flew into Kyiv and stayed at the Ibis Kyiv Railway station which was a really nice hotel and really reasonably priced.
To visit the Chernobyl exclusion zone you need to have a local guide and I used ChernobylX who I recommend highly.
Some photos ...
