I visited the Vinnytsia water tower near its closing time on Friday night in December. The staff were very friendly about letting me take a quick look even though I arrived late. The museum is a tribute to war veterans of various conflicts and it has a lot of interesting artifacts to bring the stories to life. Be ready for stairs though! Even if you can only see the outside, this is a piece of Vinnytsia’s history that is visually striking and worth your time.

Multimedia Fountain Roshen (Vinnytsia Fountain “Roshen”)- was built on the river Southern Buh in Vinnytsia City near Festivalny Isle (Kempa Isle). This is the only one multimedia fountain in Ukraine and the largest floating fountain in Europe. Fountain runs from early April to late October. The project design and development was performed by Emotion Media Factory, a Germany-based company responsible for the dancing fountains in Chiang Mai Night Safari Park (Thailand) and Kangwon Land (South Korea) as well as the multimedia shows for AIDA Cruises. The show was created by Ralph Douw, the CEO of the company. The fountain was officially inaugurated on 4 September 2011 along with the official opening ceremony of Roshen Quay.

Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 15 reviews
The Air Force of Ukraine has been established in accordance with the Order of Chief Commander of Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shortly after Ukraine’s independence, on March 17, 1992. And in 1998, to honour the anniversary of the Ukraine Air Force creation, an interceptor MiG-21PFM has been established on the pedestal in the city centre. The monument is located on Peremohy Square in Vinnyrsya in front of the so called Officers’ House – the Centre for Leisure, Culture and Education of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The plaque on the monument hails Ukrainian aviators (and Vinnytsya is a birthplace of many of the prominent Ukraine Aviators).
