Don’t believe you can afford it –!  check out the exchange rate

 

Always when on travel you need to withdraw money etc. It is an excellent idea to bring Euro from home and make the exchange at the destination.

 

Ukraine exchange rate is close to 1:1 to the Danish crone but everything in Odessa is calculated into Dollar so draw attention to this. Send a postcard home, Pictures from Odessa.

 

How to get there?

Normally you fly through Vienna/Pragh/Budapest/ or Riga to get there. Present prices for at turn return are 2800 DKK.

 

When you make your reservation from home you are normally picked up in the airport.

 

The airport; Impression here is very special both at departure and at arrival - so be prepare for an experience that goes beyond normal.

 

You are checked and controlled a bit more than necessary, but remember this is an eastern country you are visiting.

Travel guide:   A small page in English need for inspiration

 

Where to stay ?

It’s advisory to book from home in advance if you want to be sure to get a certain standard in your rent.

 

There are a lot of renters rooms/departments and hotels – so check out this prior to your departure.

 

Especially on the railway station there are a lot offering rooms and departments for rent at low cost 10-14 USD at night.

 

This is how my department looked like. The price was 46 USD a night – once again a little more expensive than in the advert

 

What to visit ?

One of the largest markets in the world is placed here. The Seventh Kilometres market – never have I experienced

such a large marked. Thousands of containers pilled up and outlet from the bottom. Opens 4 am in the morning and closes 14 pm. Open every day.

 

The beaches are something unique – map to show the beaches and there situation.

 

ARKADIA which is the beach most connect with party, restaurants the right place to party when the sun goes down and the whole area is turned into disco and party palce.

 

So are you a young person, and wants real party time this is transformed info Eastern Europe’s answer to Ebiza or sunny beach.

 

Tram no. 5 take you there directly (remember that tram no. 10 leaves for the market then shift to no. 5) or you can choose to sail from the harbour in Odessa to the place. The prices are very low compared to our standards less than one DKK to pay for such a trip.

 

Where to eat.

 

Not many cities in the world can boast of having such a range of differences together within a short distance.


In particular, the centre has really many good restaurants in all sorts of price and the price for us Danes are typically
Something close to half the price of here at home.

 

 

Places to go in the city.

 

The city is quitesimplpangle bar / nightclubs mm. There are small places Irich Pub and great places with room for several thousand.


All sites can be settled in Dollars. Drinks cost from $ 3 – 4 in Ukraine, so it is in our relationship very cheap!

 

Most places you can pay with Visa / Master card, it means that they have a machine standing as one can lift off when you come.

 

The music they play is enough after our relationship part gl. today but quite okay to listen to.

If you even make food tomorrow food at home, etc. ....... Food costs are not a stick on the market

Beer cost is only $ 1,2  to  $ 1,5 at the restaurant.

Although I do not smoke then what we will have to think a little on those who do….

 

 

Transport with a tram in the centre cost is only $ 0.50 to the beach that is just to keep to.
