🇺🇦 ODESSA is OUTSTANDING! | ABANDONED SOVIET Cable Car! | BATTLESHIP Potemkin | UKRAINE TRAVEL

ODESA, UKRAINE - Welcome to the OUTSTANDING Odessa! (Odesa or Одеса in Ukrainian, Odessa or Одесса in Russian, in case you were wondering!). The next few videos will be from Odesa while I wait for my second Covid vaccine (I'm now fully vaccinated!). Are you ready to see what Odesa, a popular resort city, has to offer, even in December?! There's the story of the Battleship Potemkin at the Potemkin Stairs, an abandoned soviet cable car (not really abandoned, just closed for the winter I assume), beaches, monuments to Empress Catherine the Great, and more!

Ukraine (україни in Ukrainian, Украина in Russian) Travel or Tourism isn't on the agenda of many, but there's a lot to see! The Potemkin steps are an iconic landmark associated with cinema history, the art nouveau, renaissance and classicist architecture and history is divine, the Ukrainian food is great, and there's great night life down Deribasivska Street. Don't forget the Odesa Ballet and Opera Theatre, where you can witness classics such as Swan Lake and more. If you're wondering where to go in Ukraine or are looking for things to do or activities in Odessa, stay tuned for some more in future videos!

My thirst was well and truly quenched, beautiful architecture, old soviet cars, a gorgeous ginger pspsps, abandoned cable car, TRAMSPAM, you getting drowned going up a hill and walking into a tree basically perfection 🥰

[davidostrowski]

I hope you enjoyed Odessa/Odesa! There are some more videos to come from here over the next week or so. Note that I KNOW the cable car is NOT abandoned! But it might as well have been!

I bloody love everything about this! The grey weather, the bleakness, the beautiful opera house and onion domed buildings, the not working cable cars, the cats, the music, the language! 😉 Awesome! Thanks David. ❤

[TheTwoTravelersInMexico]

Loved the video, thanks for the tour of Odessa, also loved the churches with their gold domes.

[MariaMarquez-okhf]

Was fun watching you play the old piano! Just loved the beach drone shots and the accompanying music. Quite enjoyable and well done video! 😊

[veejhonz]

I love everything about this video!! The Black Sea on off season is spectacular to behold.
Also, the jacket/scarf combos are on point! Well done my friend 👏🏻

[brettd]

I liked it after 10 seconds. I want to like it again for the next ten seconds and the next ten. The beauty overwhelmed. epic. astounding. Plus great musical score and production. I'm having to stop the video to enjoy the visuals and catch my breath. I laughed. I cried.

Hands down the best travel video on Odessa on youtube.

[thejectorproject]

Is this Swan Lake?!? Jk it looks cold 🥶. Those steps would have killed me. Great video as always!

[andysm]

Buddy, so loved your expressions about how the world is, not how we`d like it to be as highlighted on youtube... another bucket list of places to visit when this fcuk -ing pandemic as subsided ...keep up the great work!

[tammiepulley]

So glad you left before the war started and so glad you got the video of Odessa at this time. Hope Russia doesn’t destroy this lovely place.

[sianalexander]

Oh David! I hope you are safe, I just can't get over how things changed overnight! I hope you were able to get out soon enough. Please send news ❤

[sandradowling]

Drone footage of the cable cars is cool

[GoRoam]

Wow that weather... Also, we think you dodged a bullet not getting on that cablecar, it's seen better days!

[Gorge]

There is a city in the US also called Odessa I think is in Texas. Every place is full of History. The movie you mentioned in the video, I watched some fragments of it a few years ago when I was taking cinematography class in the University as a cocurricular class.

[adrianatriana]

Me encantó, fue regresar en el tiempo en esas películas que encantan con su belleza arquitectonica, historia deberían ya de premiarte por tus tomas y contratarte a nivel internacinal. Saludoa y abrazos david. Saludos de mi familia de.torreon
