Zaporizhzhya Getting there & around

Getting around

Most trolleybuses and marshrutky run the length of pr Lenina between Zaporizhzhya-1 train station and pl Leninaya, but you can bank on trolleybus 3.

To get to Khortytsya Island and the Cossack Museum, take public transport north up pr Lenina to pl Lenina. Walk across the wall of the Dniproges Dam, bear left (west) and left again onto the north bridge of Khortytsya Island, which goes to the museum (about 5km total walk).

Bus 50 goes up vul Pobedy (parallel to pr Lenina along the river) and crosses the more southern Preobrazhenksa bridge to Khortytsya Island, getting you within a short walk of the museum. Tell the driver to let you off at the ‘muzey’. Otherwise, take a taxi (25uah to 30uah from the centre).

Khortytsya Island is a cyclist’s haven but we did not find any bikes for rent.
