Taras Shevchenko Park

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:09:33

Around 20 minutes' walk south from maydan Vichevy, the city's main stretch of green is a great place to shake out the picnic blanket, hire a rowboat on the lake or chill with an ice cream to do a spot of people-watching of a balmy eve. The approaches to the park are lined with refurbished Austro-Hungarian mansions and the grounds have been beautifully landscaped thanks to EU handouts.
