Chernihiv is the birthplace of famous Ukrainian beer and a small and cozy city located on the banks of the Desna river. The city is full of churches. There's also a religious pilgrimage point, St. Anthony Caves. In general, Chernihiv is perfect for day trips from Kyiv.

Start with sightseeing on the central Krasna Square, one of the largest squares in Ukraine.

Savior Transfiguration Cathedral is a burial place of Prince Igor Siversky. He was mentioned in an ancient epic poem "The Tale of Igor's Campaign".

On the wall you can take an interesting picture of the church and guns. Both are "influence", although it's different.

The Taras Shevchenko monument on the picture is not as large as in real life.

We stopped in Chernihiv to see former estate of landlord Grigory Glibov. It is located behind the Chernihiv Technological University (Shevchenko str., 97). Throughout the city appeared tourist signs and informational boards in Ukrainian and English languages.

Getting there: By car or minibus from the Chernihivska metro station in Kyiv. Or by train, but the schedule is inconvenient, so better go by minibus.

Площа називається Красною, а не Червоною, і ця назва ніяк не стосується радянської влади.

Дякую, підправив. Чернігів був першим місцем, яке ми відвідали, гадаю, треба навідатись знову :)

Тоді не площа, а майдан! В українській мові слово "площа" використовується лише для геометричних позначень. Усе інше - майдани!
