After more than 30 years that passed since the plant explosion, visiting Chernobyl is safer than ever before. The radiation dose you get during one day spent inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone is equal to a natural radiation level around. That dose is 300 times less than the entire X-ray scanning of your body at the hospital. Saying in numbers, you’ll get 3-4 µSv of gamma rays, which is an absolutely harmless radiation dose. Most likely, a regular flight will make you get more radiation than one day in Chernobyl could.

It depends on your tastes. Every season means special charm and impressions you get from the Chernobyl zone. In spring, when everything is in blossom but without leaves yet, guests of the ghost town can see its buildings and make unique photos. In summer, the Zone is green and Pripyat looks like a real “jungle town” showing you the almighty nature. In autumn, the Zone is a bit dull and dark, delivering special emotions to tourists and contributing to the tense. And the Zone’s winter opens the real atmosphere of abandoned places for everyone and gives the chance to see local wildlife creatures like wolves and warthogs.
Tours to Chernobyl are not more dangerous than trips to any other place on the planet. The level of radiation is high only in certain areas.
