Weekend trip from Kharkiv to Poltava
If you live in Kharkiv, but want something new, something you have not seen yet, and only two days off a week seem too little for traveling around Ukraine... That is not so! We suggest trying a weekend tour. This is a small, but very bright trip that will be remembered for a long time. A great option for this will be Poltava – a city with a great history behind it.
When you arrive in Poltava, be sure to visit Round Square. This place is beautiful from every side, especially from above. If you own a quadcopter, try filming the square from the air. The result will please you.
A weekend tour in Poltava will also be a good choice for admirers of charming views and history: Ivanova Hill, which stands above the Vorskla River. Archaeologists have found ancient remains of an old city here. In the 18th century, the Poltava Fortress was built here, which protected the city from the Swedish army. The most popular structure here is the graceful White Gazebo – one of the most beautiful symbols of Poltava. In fact, the hill bears this name in honor of the writer Ivan Kotliarevskyi. Now this is a place for dates, for admiring the sunset.
What is there to see in Poltava that you can send photos to your friends and surprise them? The dumpling monument is a landmark for true connoisseurs of Ukrainian cuisine, for true Cossacks! Your weekend tour to Poltava cannot go without tasty Ukrainian dishes, so we recommend trying real dumplings in one of the city’s eateries.
The next stop is the Poltava Local History Museum. For lovers of history, antiquity, and the atmosphere of the past. The charm of this place lies in its facade: done in brown and beige colors, narrow and tall windows, an unusual roof. The museum has about 300 thousand exhibits.
What is there to see in Poltava if you came with a child? The Museum of Long-Range Strategic Aviation will be interesting for both adults and children. Immerse yourself in this interesting niche of aviation, bombing, and munitions. For children, interesting tours are held here, where this topic is explained in simple language.
So, after visiting all the listed places, your weekend tour will definitely leave a positive impression. Share it with family and friends, encourage them to visit all these cultural landmarks as well. The city of Natalka Poltavka is a good choice for an enjoyable time.
