Taras Shevchenko Park

Taras Shevchenko Park stretches along the high right bank of the Dnieper River, offering panoramic views that are the park's main draw. Named after Ukraine's national poet, it features a prominent monument to Shevchenko, as well as a striking statue of the poet as a young man. The park's centerpiece is a long, tree-lined promenade with fountains, benches, and flower gardens, leading to an observation deck over the river. Visitors can stroll past war memorials, a small chapel, and a monument to the city's founders. The park connects to the riverfront via a grand staircase, making it a popular spot for sunset walks and photography.
