I traveled to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone—here's what it was like. (via CNBCMakeIt)
But as a long-time travel journalist, I myself have been to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, though I went in 2017, before the HBO series.
The city of Pripyat, Ukraine, once had a population around 50,000, many of whom were employed at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.The meltdown released radiation that scorched the surrounding forests red and sent a poisonous cloud across Europe. Now, decades later, experts say it's dissipated to the point of being safe for visitors, and the tours avoid highly contaminated areas.
Pripyat was evacuated within a few days after the catastrophe, but even today it persists — a ghost town with tourist traffic.
