Shopping and souvenirs
Shops in Ukraine work daily from 10.00 to 19.00. But the main trade ground and sight is Ozerka - a medieval market in modern style.

This is a most pleasant and popular park with a big pond, a waterplay fountain in the pond and lots of benches to relax on. But it's also extremely popular with kids because there is a railway line in there. It's not a small toy railway but a real one but smaller in size than a proper one. I wanted to take a ride but I just missed the last train.

The Dnieper is important for the transport and economy of Ukraine: its reservoirs have large ship locks, allowing vessels of up to 270 by 18 metres (890 ft × 59 ft) to access as far as the port of Kyiv and thus create an important transport corridor. The river is used by passenger vessels as well. Inland cruises on the rivers Danube and Dnieper have been a growing market in recent decades.
Upstream from Kyiv, the Dnieper receives the water of the Pripyat River. This navigable river connects to the Dnieper-Bug canal, the link with the Western Bug river. Historically, a connection with the Western European waterways was possible, but a weir without a ship lock near the town of Brest has interrupted this international waterway. Poor political relations between Western Europe and Belarus mean there is little likelihood of re-opening this waterway in the near future.
Navigation is interrupted each year by freezing in winter, and severe ... Read more »

A 1792 plan of Yekaterinoslav. The city that is now called Dnipropetrovsk was founded as part of the expansion of the Russian Empire into the lands North of the Black Sea, known as the Novorossiysk gubernia. The city was originally known as Yekaterinoslav, which translates in English to "The glory of Yekaterina" (Catherine the Great). It became the administrative center of the Yekaterinoslav Governorate. Cossack and Russian armies fought against the Ottoman Empire for control of this area in the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774).

The city of Yekaterinoslav was fou... Read more »
