I had the pleasure to tour the Pirohov Estate in the winter when I basically had the grounds to myself. The estate on its own is beautiful to walk around. The displays inside the buildings tell a story that most westerners probably do not know. I was amazed at Pirohov’s story - from entering university at a very early age to developing orthopedic aids for fracture healing and pioneering the use of anesthesia for soldiers during the Crimean war. He was a truly a fascinating man and I’m glad I learned about him. If you do not speak Ukrainian or Russian you will need a translator/guide to fully engage with the site’s exhibits. I highly recommend you visit!

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.

A visit to the Vinnytsia Regional Lore Museum is a great way to learn about the history of Vinnytsia and the surrounding region. For westerners: this is a mix between what we’d call a natural history museum and a cultural history museum. The end result is a total picture of the Vinnytsia Oblast (e.g. state/province). If you don’t speak the language, it would be to get an interpreter/guide so you can fully appreciate exhibits. My personal favorites were some of the historical objects from around the turn of the 20th century and some of the interpretive displays about early history/settlement. Definitely worth a visit if you have more than a day in Vinnytsia!

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.

Very interesting place for people who like cars and their components. There's also some more historical staff from sovietic times.
