Odesa Catacombs Tour

Our private Odessa Catacombs tour will start from your hotel as you meet your local guide. You will travel to the Nerubayskoe Village where the excursion starts.

Odessa Catacombs are one of the longest in the world; they spread under the whole city and they are the reason why there is no metro in Odessa.

Originally, the Catacombs appeared in the city as limestone quarries where stones were mined to build most of the buildings in Odessa in the XIX century. It was a cheap material, and as a result, the kilometers of underground labyrinths stretched underneath the city.

In the beginning of the XX century, the mining was prohibited and the Catacombs were abandoned by the miners. However, half a century later, Odessa Catacombs played a key role in the history of the city during the World War II. It was a place where the partisans hide and you will visit the underground Museum of Partisan Glory with your guide.

Nowadays, Odessa catacombs are famous tourist attraction and travelers from all over the world come to see this extremely interesting sight of Odessa. You will go deep under the ground to uncover the secrets of this place and hear a lot of intriguing facts from your expert guide.

After a fascinating visit of the underground world of Odessa, our driver will take you back to the center of the city or to your hotel.
