It's hard to do justice to the experience in words - or in photos, which inevitably flatten the picture and give you only a part of the panoramic view.
The Panorama was created in 1905 to mark the 50-year anniversary of the defence of Sevastopol by the painter France Alekseevich Rubaud.
The Panorama occupies most of the circular building in the park on Malakhov Hill. It's a huge 360 degree re-creation of the defense of Sevastopol, consisting of a 4m high painting which forms a 115m circular backdrop to a life-size reconstructed view of the defenses. The painting is cleverly merged into the foreground modelwork so that a real sense of perspective is created, and you stand at the centre with the battle all around you. It cost about 45 hrv to enter, and also has a small museum of crimean war objects and uniforms. Leave a Comment Address: Top of Historical BoulevardDirections: walk up the slight hill (historical boulevard), and past the children fair, and it's a round building to the left. Pay to enter in the kiosk outside.

The largest collection of snakes in the Ukraine. Cost almost nothing to go inside, and a guided tour of all the snakes they have. The tour guide spoke good english, and the snakes came from around the globe. I was reassured that the staff have no anti-venom in case of a sudden escape...but they told me that one can suck out the poison...eeerrmmm... I think they have been watching too many john wayne films!! anyway I enjoyed the show, and feeding time.. Leave a Comment Address: near the dolphin show on the waterfrontDirections: Waterfront

 | |  |  | Sevastopol Central (Russian) Market | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
The Market is divided into sections, some undercover and some with individual shelter that is shaped just nicely to drip onto the head and neck of the unsuspecting and unwary shopper when it starts to rain, which incidentally and fortunately is not too often. The food for sale here is basically the same as any eastern european city, and some western goods also for sale. From CDs, DVDs, Electric goods, Furniture, Food, Cosmetics, Plumbing, Clothes and too many items to list really.

Many people go swimming within the harbour area.. It's a great fun as people are friendly and want to chat... whilst having a beer or two. If you want to swim then it's best to have a mate around to look after you clothes and stuff...In case someone walks off with them!! Leave a Comment Address: Waterfront
