One of the most popular places to take a walk. Usually a lot of people in the area listening to live music played by either hired or street musicians. It is one of my favorite places to relax and enjoy friends.

This grand staircase is a very ceremonious way to enter Odessa from the port. Paved with granite, the stairway was ordered by Prince Vorontsov as a gift to his wife and built at the turn of the 1840s. There are 192 steps in total, over a length of 142 metres and a difference in elevation of 27 metres. The stairway has a few intriguing quirks: One is that it is much broader at the bottom (21.7 metres) than at the top (12.5 metres). That is intentional and was done to create a false perspective and make the stairway seem larger when you’re viewing it from below. Also interesting is that when you’re standing at the top you can see only the landings while from the bottom you can see only steps.

It’s not so hard to accomplish that, guys! Especially when you’re hungry and you know that upstairs is food 😂 But, honestly, beautiful place with a nice view of the Sea Port and the sea itself. In the square up there are colorful buildings and nice historical monuments. And a bunch of cool restaurants and bars! 😉

Odessa is a neat, clean, peaceful City. Potemkin Stairs is one of The symbolic places of Odessa. The stairs are considered a formal entrance into the city from the direction of the sea. The stairs were so precisely constructed as to create an optical illusion. A person looking down the stairs sees only the treads, and the risers are invisible; whereas a person looking up sees only risers, and the treads are invisible.
