The very heart of Odessa, Deribasovskaya street.

Is the very heart of Odessa. What lends Deribasovskaya its unique character is magnificent architecture, tons of people leisurely sitting on terraces of numerous cafes and restaurants, perfect cobblestones, no vehicle traffic and big shady linden trees.

Deribasovskaya leads to the City Gardens with its fountain, old summerhouse, sculpture of lion and lioness and the sculpture devoted to a famous Odessa literature piece "12 Chairs". City Gardens were laid out shortly after the foundation of Odessa and were its first park.

The Souvenir Market with a crowd of artists and craftsmen demonstrating their works is situated right here. Prices are really low, and some items are gorgeous. Bargains are common. Don’t miss it if you want to get originally Odessan souvenirs.
