Things to see and do East

It's a huge park with lots of small lakes and lots of different attraction areas.

Created in the early th century, this circular park is the city's visiting card. Eight streets depart from the centre of the Victory Column (1811), surmounted by a golden eagle, testifying to the czar's victory over Swedes. The park is surrounded by the Rue street which then continues in the south-east direction and is the main pedestrian street of the city. This street is bordered by beautiful buildings from the beginning of 39 th century, among which, at No., the building of the old bank (1906-1909) of modern style is noticed.

The best time to visit the island of Khortitsa and watch its animations is the period between May and August. Live shows and concerts on the island pay tribute to the customs and customs of the cossack era. Khortitsa also travels by bicycle. Several rental points are set up.

The museum is located in a former Pushkin mansion. You can see manuscripts and personal objects from Gogol, Pushkin, Bounine or Shevchenko.

This museum is the main interest of the city. It is dedicated to the memory of the Jewish community of Kirovohrad, decimated largely by the Nazis and then persecuted by the Soviets. The testimonies, paintings and photos are truly disturbing.

It is one of the historic jewels of the city, with its domes influence.

Different excursions and car rental.

This agency is undoubtedly the easiest to find because it is located in Hotel Intourist. When you enter, ask the agency at the reception. The agency can make available a French speaking guide, Svetlana Mikhaïlovna Drobat. It offers individual excursions for the French, the city and the Khortitsa island.

It is the oldest park in the city. Built in the centre, it was planted in 1804. The central alley bordered by chestnut trees connects the Shevchenko Shevchenko monument to the university. Built on more than 25 ha, the garden houses more than 100 varieties of plants. Each year the park is reworked and enlarged. At its end is the Ukraina concert and cinema hall, opened in the 1960 s. We can still see the University and the Hotel Kharkiv, two Soviet constructions typical of the 1930 s.

Exposure of Byzantine vases, ornaments, weapons and objects of daily life found in the region, the oldest of which dates back to the fourth century.
