Odessa

The city of Odessa is the port on the Black Sea, but not a part of
the Crimea. It is one of the raciest cities in Ukraine. It's known by
optimism and effervescent sense of humor of its inhabitants. Odessa has
the most developed entertainment industry in Ukraine. Numerous
restaurants, casinos, and discos impregnate the city with holiday
atmosphere, especially in summer when life concentrates on the seacoast.

If you like historical and cultural places Odessa is worth visiting
as well. It has always been a large trade port, which resulted in its
multicultural look. Odessa's architecture resembles that of Italy and
France of the late 19th century and the early 20th century. Prosperous
businessmen built their mansions and other places to show their wealth.
You will see a lot of extraordinary buildings, beautiful parks and
squares. One of the finest in the world is Odessa Opera and Ballet
Theatre. Among Odessa's emblems are Deribasovskaya Street, Primorskiy
Boulevard with the monument to Odessa's founder Duke de Richelieu, and
Potemkin Stairs that contain 192 steps. The stairs were originally a
gift from Earl Vorontsov to his wife Elizaveta and were renamed to
commemorate the mutiny on Battleship Potemkin in 1905.

Sophievka

Sophievka Dendrological Park near the city of Uman (Cherkassy region) is the world's landscape architecture masterpiece of 18 - 19th centuries competitive with such European art treasures as Versailles (France), Balbi Garden (Florence, Italy), and San-Susi Park (Potsdam, Germany). The park was built by a rich Polish magnate Stanislav Pototsky in honor of his Greek wife Sophia and was presented to her at the day of her birthday in 1802. It was Sophia's idea to create a romantic park in Roman and Greek mythology style. Beautiful compositions of water, land, architecture and sculptures astound even most sophisticated visitors. The park abounds with unique marvelous sceneries, exotic plants and trees, sky-blue ponds, rock-works, fountains and cascades, grottoes and antique sculptures.

The city is especially charming in the evening in the pale lantern light when there is no noise from cars (historical center of Lvov is fully pedestrian) and organ sound is heard from a catholic church.

Khreschatyk

Measuring around 1.5 km in length, Khreschatyk is Kiev’s most famous and
well-trodden street. During World War II the retreating Soviet Army
mined most of it as a welcoming present for the advancing N**is. It was
gratefully accepted, resulting in complete destruction of most of the
existing buildings. When the war ended, the street was rebuilt with
imposing Stalinist style buildings that still dominate the area today.

Independence Square

Situated at the northern end of Khreschatyk,
Kiev’s Independence Square received global media attention in 2004 as
the focal point of Ukraine’s Orange Revolution. Today, things have
calmed down a little and the tented city that sprung up overnight has
long gone. Independence Square, however, is still the city’s most
popular spot for meetings, late night drinking and people watching.
