Sofiyivka Park

Reviewed By Kolrina - Kiev, Ukraine

That's a great park that is crowded all year round. Every place in it has its symbolic meaning especially taking into account that Count Pototskiy, who has opened this park in 1806 commemorating his eternal love to his wife-beauty Sofia, belonged to Mason Temple.We had an excellent guide who has showed us all hidden symbols of Mason Order. The park is beautiful in any season with its fresh air, birds singing and water sparkling. There is no other park in Ukraine that is so famous among tourists and visitors.

Tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslev

Reviewed By Buc_Haish - Israel

This is a special place which is now extremely popular for everyone associated with or having contact with the Breslov Hassidic movement.
It was certainly a special spiritual moment and experience to be here with wife, children and grandchildren. It is a must-see and must-visit and experience location.
However, it can be crowded and rowdy and disorganized and not clean.
It is in a nondescript bland residential section of Uman in Ukraine, that has been turned into a small Israeli Jewish enclave with Hebrew spoken and enough rental lodging and kosher food to satisfy all the visitors.
I'm sure happy that I went and would certainly go again, but I found the Hassiduc sites in Haditch, Bresslev, Medzhibuz and Berditchev to be more poignant and meaningful (not commercialized).

Uman Central Park

Reviewed By bobbyb82 - Salhouse, United Kingdom

I wish we had more time to spend in this wonderful park, we had just driven from Odessa on are way to Kiev and planned to stop, but darkness was on the way and I did not want to drive at night on Ukrainian roads
I have travelled all over southern and central Ukraine and have never seen so much lovely green space, the statues and Gardens are very well kept, we spent two hours walking as quickly as we could to see as much as we could, you could easily spend a full day I will return when we have more time.
There are guides tours on foot or large golf carts, my suggestion is bring walking shoes.
I think some parts of this park would be difficult to visit if you were disabled or had trouble walking I recommend the golf cart.

Когда-то на территории польского захоронения построили костел. Уже при советской сласти здесь разместили картинную галерею. А сейчас здесь художественный музей, в котором проводят по выходным богослужения.

St. Nicolas Cathedral

Reviewed By Lara B - Kiev, Ukraine

Красивый собор, видно, что недавно отреставрирован (хотя внутри под куполом сохранились и фрески в первоначальном виде, без реставрации). Если у вас нет платочка, то на входе справа на винтовой лестнице висят несколько платков для женщин, которые не позаботились о покрытии головы заранее. Понравилось, что церковная лавка находится не прямо в церкви, как это водится в большинстве православных соборов, а в отдельном помещении справа от входа. Почему понравилось и это? - вспомните библейскую притчу о торгующих в храме и об изгнании этих "торговцев" Иисусом из храма.

Монастырь построил тот самый Потоцкий, который подарил любимой Софии парк. А здесь была греко-католическая школа. Хороший был мужик. Деньги с толком тратил.

Glory Obelisk

Reviewed By Tapoetapoe - Bilthoven, The Netherlands

It's well taken care of and maybe on special days to remember those killed due to Russia's invasion it might be interesting to visit. Some flowers commemorating those that have given their lives to defend the country against Russia were still around the monument. Very nicely made. Also some flyers were handed out to ask for donations for children injured by bombings. It's interesting to hear the stories of the people....though very sad. Otherwise....not worth the detour. I just happened to pass it.
