The text focuses on the themes relating to a specific type of tourism propagated by scientists as tanathotourism. After the introduction of the subject of journey, tourism and thanatotourism I focus on a selected example – trips to the town of Pripyat, abandoned in 1986, as a result of the explosion in Chernobyl power plant and the subsequent contamination of the area with radioactive elements. The town in the north of Ukraine is now one of the world’s tourist attractions.
