Alley of Glory

The Alley of Glory is a pedestrian zone running through central Odesa, with many plaques and monuments honoring important Ukrainian figures and key historical events. The street provides space for walking and pausing to read about the people and moments it commemorates.

The pedestrian zone was established as a memorial space to honor people who contributed to Ukraine's independence and national development. It grew over time into an important place where the city marks its connection to these historical figures.

The street serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors mark national holidays and watch cultural performances throughout the year. Walking here, you sense how the community comes together to remember shared moments of their history.

The street connects easily to other parts of Odesa through public transportation and is regularly patrolled for safety. The flat, open path makes it comfortable to walk at any time of year without steep slopes or difficult terrain.

The alley is part of a 52-hectare car-free network, one of Ukraine's largest pedestrian zones where vehicles rarely appear. This connected system makes it possible to walk across significant stretches of the city without encountering traffic.
