Things to see and do Ukraine

This church contains the tombs of the admirals who defended the city against the Franco-English invasion of 1854-1855. The church consists of two «floors» on the left of the entrance, a staircase down to the crypt which contains the tombs of Kornilov, Nakhimov and Isnilov. The building dates back to the end of the th century, but the war damaged the building that is still in restoration today, but it radiates a strength and special piety to the churches hosting the great defenders of the Russian homeland.

This building is a perfect example of an orthodox temple built according to the criteria of ancient Greek architecture. Before being in stone, a wooden church was there, but the building was destroyed during a storm. The new temple was built in 1844 and restored twice. Until recently this place of worship housed a house of culture; Due to the sound acoustics of the building, concerts were held there. The temple has since returned to its first use.

Another street in the heart of the city, named after the Lithuanian prince Koriatovych, came to invade the Transcarpatie in 1393. The city is divided into two parts: The part is, where most buses and taxis leave, and the western part, much more commercial.

Attached to the Zoology Museum, this huge botanical park spans 4 ha. It houses 3 900 species of plants, 1 100 of which are greenhouse.

This museum displays a collection of 110 000 pieces from the region: fauna, flora, history, folklore and even numismatics.

This is the city centre of Uzhgorod. It is composed almost entirely of cafes, restaurants, banks and shops. Its name of Italian origin means "the street of walks". The former occupants of the city were two Princes princes, the Drougetti brothers. All the houses in the neighbourhood are old and have only two or three floors. The ruelle is narrow and leads straight to Voloshyna street, another very lively street.

One of the most interesting excursions is that which leads to the cliffs and caves of Dovboush, the name of one of the heroes of the region, Oleksa Dovboush, who had found refuge there. To get there, you must take the bridge above the Prut and walk towards the south over 1 km. The path to access the cliffs starts on the left. It takes about 3 hours to take this hike.

With its 2 061 m it is the high mountain of Ukraine. The climb of the mount, which is one of the most popular hikes of the Ukrainians, is not particularly difficult. Initially, the trail follows the road of Yaremche towards Vorokhta and Zaroslyak. You can walk on foot or borrow one of the many Mar с hroutk hadžić that cover these destinations. 7 km south of Vorokhta you will see a fork and follow the road on the right towards Zaroslyak. The climb starts from the tourist base of Zaroslyak. The summit is easily recognisable to the Ukrainian flag proudly drawn. From 1 400 m, the path is surrounded by fields of wild flowers and grass. Here you will find a small source of drinking water. At the top, the only trees that grow are dwarf pinnacles. The vegetation on the west side of the mountain is far less green because of its exposure to warm air masses from the southwest. The summit offers a superb view of the other summits. Some plates of snow resist in summer. It is at the top of this mountain that Ukraine knows its worst time: cold and snow all year round. Moreover, the name of the mountain, of Hungarian origin, means "the snowy mountain". But this does not prevent 24 000 Ukrainians from climbing it every August to celebrate Independence Day.

It is not of great interest. However, it shows the evolution of the city. Temporary exhibits, with random taste, are organized

This museum offers beautiful objects representative of the traditional Houtsoule and Pakoute culture (another Ukrainian Carpathian people). Among the objects are carved sticks, as well as various local musical instruments, including a trebita (kind of horn of the Alps), a duda (kind of bagpipe), as well as junkers. You can also see beautiful ceramics and some popular icons of very beautiful invoice on the second floor.

It is regrettable that the museum does not have a little more money to better expose this beautiful collection. In the main staircase do not miss the beautiful stained glass stained glass window.

We find a pretty shop selling local crafts.

A little further are beautiful antiques, much more authentic than Lviv and more affordable. However, it will not be easy to get a large object out.

By bus No. 127 which leaves from the train station or bus No. 161, we pass through the very nice district named Grande Fontaine, occupied by very nice dacha. When you spend more than four days in Odessa, this neighborhood is a real pleasure to visit. By staying in the bus to the station "16 th station" (16 aya stantsia), you can reach a beautiful monastery built on a course. Attached to the Moscow Patriarchate, this monastery has always played a major role in the seminar. Currently 300 seminarians are studying. You can visit a small church where you will recognize three murals: Annunciation, Visitation and Epiphany. The by the backwash of the sea deafening on the walls of the monastery, this visit is a true moment of peace and serenity.

before the Londonskaya, we pass in front of the Palace of the Sailors who took care of the sailors'distractions. This body of trade had its hour of glory under the USSR, where one third of the population worked in the navy. The Black Sea merchant fleet was based in Odessa and has 300 vessels. To honour this local occupation, a marble staircase in Kara leads to the palace.

E's bust is proudly mounted. The history of this man is closely linked to the city. Indeed, his writings had been censored, he had experienced an exile in Crimea in Odessa and then in Chisinau. Count Vorontsov was appointed governor of the «new Russia» (he had his winter residence in Odessa and summer in Yalta— the famous Palace of Count Vorontsov). This is an illustrious character of particular hatred to Pushkin who had the audacity to make the court to the wife of the Earl. He gave him the task of simple secretary, when Pushkin was already known throughout Russia as a great poet. In Odessa Pushkin wrote several poems, such as the Fontaine Fountain and The Gypsies. He also started his famous Eugene Onegin. The Odessites are very proud of Pushkin's passage in their city, which is why a stele bears the inscription: " À, from the citizens of Odessa. " Not far from the monument is a cannon, in memory of the Crimean War, during which a wing bombed the city in 1854.

Between Marazlievskaya streets, Uspenskaya and Lidersovski Boulevard, this park was founded in 1840. Here, on the edge of a escarpment overlooking the sea, the remains of the quarantine wall (Карантинная стена) are found, high during the plague epidemic that struck Odessa at the beginning of the th century. In the park you can also walk through the alley of Glory with monuments reminiscent of the past of Odessa during World War II. The area around the park, especially the Marazlievskaya street, is very prestigious and there are magnificent houses. From the park you can get down to Langeron beach.

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.

Built by Count Stanislav Pototski, a Polish tycoon, Sofiyivka Park is above all a wonderful testimony of the Count's love for his wife Sofia. Having fallen in love with this woman of unspeakable beauty, romantic and passionate, the Count bought her from her former husband and decided, in her honour, to build a real little jewel in the middle of the Ukrainian countryside. Thus was born the park that became famous, with a succession of fountains, waterfalls, groves, pretty pavilions and romantic alleys.

These 432 steps at the bottom of Lenina Street lead to the foot of the Mithridates Mountains. Built in the th century by an Italian architect, this staircase became the symbol of Kerch and appeared on most postcards of the city.

Different excursions and car rental.

it is one of the most surprising and original places in Ukraine. The German baron von Val @ had the crazy idea in the th century of forming a unique nature-safari reserve in Europe on the steppes of Ukraine, bringing the most original animals. On 2 300 ha, the reserve includes a zoo, a biological garden, and, in exclusive terms, preserved virgin steppe, only place in Europe where the steppe retains its original appearance. We discover more than sixty species of birds, from Australia's black swan in the ostrich, but also from llamas, zebras and emus.

" If you turn left, your horse is your horse. If you turn right, you're at your own loss. But if you go straight, it's in the valley of tales that you're retrouveras. " If you are accompanied by children, this park is a place not to be missed. Even if they do not know Russian tales or Slavic mythology, they will certainly be delighted with this walk. Many heroes of children's books hide here in wood bushes and houses. You will meet Baba Yaga (the Russian witch) and Kochey Besmertniy (a monster that can only be defeated if the pin is broken in an egg!), but also the Kick Chat Cat of Perrault or the Serpent Serpent of Kipling.

. Hill. The church and its belfry were erected between 1832 and 1837. It was one of the first monuments of the city to be built in stone. During the war, the cathedral was destroyed, but the belfry remained on its feet. It served as a benchmark for sailors. It has since been rebuilt.

It was in this church that Chekhov and Olga Knipper married in 1902.

In the south of the city, the park extends from Hotel Oreanda. From the monument Maxim Gorky, you can walk along the alley leading to Lito Hotel, which even has a bowling alley. In this park, in a pretty building in the midst of shady alleys, the health centre of the city.

In 1887, Church leaders in St. Petersburg agreed to leave a small land with a «Cafa» home if a church was built there. The city's citizens then offered another ground to build the grand temple of Railway.

In 1890, the temple received a copy of the Old Testament. At the beginning of the th century, the stone cathedral was built instead of the wooden temple. The temple opened its doors in 1943.

A seaside resort east of the Bear Mountain. Archaeologists refer to the human presence in the surrounding area since the stone age. The village of Partenit is mentioned in writings depicting Greek history dating from the th century. The village became the centre of an anti-Kazars uprising in the th century led by Bishop Ioan Gothic. One legend tells us that the relics of the latter, died in Asia Minor, returned by a miracle in Partenit to be buried in St. Pierre and Saint-Paul temple. At the time of the construction of the road in the th century to access the village, the ruins of the Basilica of the Holy Apostles were discovered. We found the soil in mosaic, the remains of foundations, walls and a tomb that was supposed to be Gothic, even if it was empty then. Despite this rich history, Partenit now resembles a modern seaside resort. If you do, don't forget to climb the Ayu-Dag mountain, a beautiful natural reserve.

A pleasant park located in the southwest of the suburb of Aloushta is within walking distance. Around 1880, many doctors, scientists and researchers established their dacha in the park. This is how the garden acquired the name of the "Corner of Teachers". The gardens were built around their houses and the seaside was built to welcome visitors. The beach has become a particularly pleasant place to bathe and enjoy the sun. Today most of the old dacha have been bought by the state and are transformed into a health centre.

Located at the foot of Mount Demerdzhi, a few kilometres east of Aloushta, this valley owes its name to the strange atmosphere that reigns there in the evening. The black mountains then leave clouds of fog. At the top of the mountain, the wind and shadows often reveal, according to the premises, a woman's silhouette. Because of the wind and erosion produced by sand, the rocks in the valley are spectacular and, indeed, resemble statues of human characters.

To visit the Ghosts Valley, you can take a marshroutka from the Routière bus station to the village of Luchistoe.

They will see objects from the daily life of the Tatars as well as ceramics, amphorae and documents uncovered during archaeological excavations in Aloushta.

The concept is quite sinister: that animals stuffed! There is also a large collection of insects and minerals from Crimea, but, for a few more euros, you can make a guided tour of the nature reserve, which is perhaps more fun. As part of the museum, the zoo houses animals in the area, such as sheep, deer, bear or fox, goose, or even an island exclusively reserved for swans.

Dating back to 1819, this temple, like most churches in the region, was razed by the Turkish invaders. It was at the request of Tsar Nicolas II, visiting the region, that it was rebuilt in 1912.
