Dnipropetrovsk is an industrial city, but still it's possible to relax and find some interesting places here. Convenient transport links make the city attractive to spend the weekend, so we did it. We went from Kyiv by the morning express train. The journey took about 5 hours and 45 minutes.

Near the right end of the waterfront is the Monastyrskyi (Monastery) island, which can be accessed via a pedestrian bridge. There is a nice park, a beach, a variety of rides and a small zoo on the island. Unfortunately, the zoo is too small. I don't think that the animals feel comfortable there.

After visiting the island, we crossed the road and went to the Shevchenko Park and then to the square, where stands the Spaso-Preobrazhenskyi (Savior Transfiguration) Cathedral. As in most parks of Ukraine, there are many squirells here. They are accustomed to people and take the food right out of the hands.

In Dnipropetrovsk, we also visited the first football game at the new Dnipro Arena stadium. The stadium is very cozy and comfortable, and the field is clearly visible.

Not far from the stadium there are several cozy parks where the fountains are illuminated at night. After the football we visited these parks and then returned to the waterfront to enjoy the view of the fountains and bridges at night.
