Weekend Tour from Kharkiv to Poltava

If you live in Kharkiv, but want something new, something you have not seen yet, and two days off a week seem too few for traveling around Ukraine... That is not so! We suggest trying a weekend tour. It is a small but very vivid 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.

Upon arriving in Poltava, be sure to visit Round Square. This place is beautiful from every angle, 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 connoisseurs 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 defended the city from the Swedish army. The most popular structure here is the graceful White Arbor - 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 to see in Poltava that you can send photos of to your friends and surprise them with? The Galushka Monument is a sight for true connoisseurs of Ukrainian cuisine, for true Cossacks! Your weekend tour to Poltava cannot go by without delicious Ukrainian dishes, so we recommend trying real galushky at 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: executed in brown and beige colors, with narrow and tall windows, an unusual roof. The museum has about 300 thousand exhibits.

What to see in Poltava if you have come with a child? The Museum of Long-Range Strategic Aviation will be interesting for both adults and children. Immerse yourself in this fascinating niche of aviation, bombing and munitions. For children, interesting excursions are held here, where this topic is explained in simple language.

So, after visiting all the listed places, your weekend tour will definitely leave positive impressions. Share them with family and friends, and encourage them to visit all these cultural landmarks as well. The city of Natalka-Poltavka is a successful choice for an interesting pastime.
