|||
| Climate and weather | |||
The city is very warm in summer (average daily temperature in July
is +25-27 C) and cold in the winter (aver. day temp. is -3-4 C).Best time for visiting is in the late spring - the second part of April and May (nice nature and fresh air), and early in autumn: September and October (beauty of town's yellow parks). Long periods of rain are normal in autumn. Other times are mainly dry with a few showers or storms in the summer time. |
|||
| Points of interest | |||
The central streets of the city were renamed during the Soviet time
in honor of the outstanding revolutionaries. (And it is interesting, the
largest of them is in honor of German figures.) So the central street of the
city has the name of Karl Marx. It is a very beautiful, wide and long parkway,
which stretches east to west through the central part of the city. It was
founded in the XVIII century and parts of its buildings are the actual
decoration of the city. In the nucleus of the city is Zhovtneva square, on
which is the majestic Cathedral that was founded by order of Katherine II
(Russian empress) in 1776.
|
|||
On the square, there are some remarkable buildings: the Museum
of History, Diorama "Battle for the Dnieper River (Second World War)",
and also the beautiful park in which you can rest in the hot summer. Walking down
the hill to the Dnieper River, you will arrive in the large Taras Shevchenko
Park (which is on the right bank of the river) and on Monastyrskiy Island. This
island is one of the most interesting places in the city. In the IX century,
the Byzantian monks based a monastery here. It was destroyed by Mongol-Tatars
in the XIII century.
|
|||
The compact "old town" does not exist in Dnepropetrovsk
anymore. Many historic buildings and churches were destroyed in the Second
World War and in Stalin's communist times in the 1930s.
|
|||
However all of Central Avenue, some street-blocks on the main hill
(the Nagornaya part) between Pushkina Prospekt and Embankment, and sections
near Globy and Shevchenka parks have been untouched for 150 years. An evening
walk through those parts of the city is very pleasurable...
|
|||
|
The Dnieper River is a wonderful creation of nature that keeps the climate mild and the air fresh. You can see it from many points in Dnepropetrovsk. From any hill (there are 7 in the city) you will find a beautiful view of the river, islands, parks, outskirts, river banks and hills. There was no need to build huge skyscrapers in the city in Soviet times. Powerful industries preferred to construct offices close to their main factories away from the centre of town. In the last ten years of independence the price of land in Ukraine has grown considerably. All the new office buildings are being built in the same architectural style as the old buildings.... |
|||
Shopping |
|||
The Karl Marx Prospekt is the main trade artery of the
city. There are plenty of shops and cafes of different sizes and for different
income levels. The abundance of trade points can be observed also in several
streets and squares contiguous to the Karl Marx Prospekt in the area around the
Central Department Store (TSUM) - the biggest market place in the city. To buy
souvenirs, the best site is Exhibition on the boulevard across from TSUM. Large
supermarkets are located far from the central part of the city; mostly in
residential areas.
|
|||
Parks |
|||
Globy Central Park, Shevchenka Park, Embankments,
river beaches and islands are the favorite places of most of the townspeople.
During the summer there are a great number of cafes along the wide Dnieper
River (1 km. width approx.), on main streets, and in the parks. |
|||
Theatres |
|||
The City Opera and Ballet Theatre, Russian and
Ukrainian Drama theatres, some Youth theatres, and Circus are waiting for you
all year round.
|
|||
Museums and exhibitions |
|||
