Zaporizhzhia
Запоріжжя
Check your own government's travel advice for Ukraine first; if it allows the trip, plan 1–2 days for Khortytsia Island, the Dniproges Dam and the Technics Museum.
Zaporizhzhia is an industrial city on the Dnipro River, known for Khortytsia Island, the Dniproges Dam and the Bohuslayev (Motor Sich) Technics Museum. Ukraine's airspace is closed to civil aviation, so arrival is by train or bus, and any plan depends on your own government's current travel advice.
