Dnepropetrovsk or Ekaterinoslav was founded in ancient times and survived in times of conquerors. According to the original plan it was built as a "third capital of the Russian Empire". The city became one of the largest industrial, economic and transportation centers in Ukraine.
You start to learn the city from the car while arriving but it is better to continue excursion on foot, so you can make photos of the most interesting places. Perhaps the main attraction of the city is that it is situated on the both banks of the river Dnieper. Like the other cities Dnepropetrovsk distinguished itself in the Europe records book. In Dnepropetrovsk there is the longest embankment in Europe, its length is about 23 km. Here also there are 7 bridges that connect right and left banks and one pedestrian bridge to the Monastery Island. The Island was mentioned in the documents dating 1880, in 1999 in its northern part was built Orthodox church of St. Nicholas. This place always attracts people who come there to relax, breathe fresh air and spend free time.
If you continue the walk along the embankment you will see old unique bridges, take photos near nice Swan Fountain, which changes modes and which is about 50 meters high.
You can walk on the center direction or go by car. If you go by car it is better to leave it somewhere on the parking and don’t waste time in traffic jams. In the city center there is the largest collection of Scythian "women" in Ukraine, it is situated on the October square, near the History Museum.
