Visit a NUCLEAR MISSILE BASE || Ukraine's COLD WAR Missile Site (YOU CAN PUSH THE BUTTON!)

Ukraine is one of the few places in the world where you can visit a nuclear missile base. When the Soviet Union collapsed, about a third of its nuclear arsenal was inside Ukrainian territory. While Ukraine agreed to give up the warheads and decommission its sites, in the middle of the country in the sleepy little town of Pervomaysk one of the bases was turned into a museum -- and at the Strategic Missile Forces Museum, you can actually go into this Cold War missile base and push the nuclear launch button! This was a wild experience, and I feel like it really brought a lot of gravity to history I've only ever heard about. I definitely recommend this as one of the best things to do in Ukraine. You can do it as a day trip from Kyiv, or you can go to Pervomaysk yourself and arrange a tour of the nuclear missile base.
