Vinnytsia is a new point on the tourist map of Ukraine. We didn't consider this city as an option to visit until 2012. The situation has completely changed after the Vinnytsia fountain was built; we have a separate article about it. Until that, the Vinnytsia region was much more interesting than the regional center, which was known to a wide range of people only by Hitler's headquarters "Werewolf".
There are no castles or fortresses in Vinnytsia, there is no historic center, but there are a lot of old buildings in the downtown. All major attractions are located along the Soborna Street, so you can walk even without a map.
The symbols of the city are the water tower in the Kozytsky park and the arch in the Gorky park. There are lot of parks and gardens in the city, it is one of the greenest cities of Ukraine.
There are many museums in Vinnytsia, such as a museum and estate of Pirogov, prominent Russian and Ukrainian scientist and doctor, but we still not visit it.
We stopped in the Soviet style hotel Podillya in the downtown ($63 for a double room with breakfast).
June 2014
Two years later we again visited Vinnitsa. Prices in the hotel Podillya fell to $23 per night. No idea about the reason of prices fall. But this time we spent a night in a private appartment (http://miete.com.ua/Vinnica/1367), only $25 for 4 people. Unfortunately I am not sure if the owners of the private appartments speak english, so better stay in the hotel, they prices are really low now.
There are significant improvements in terms of tourism. New signs appeared at every corner.
New tourist map of Vinnitsa appeared. It will be distribute free through hotels and can be purchased at the tourist information kiosks, for example near the fountain. Languages are: english, polish, russian, ukrainian.
Getting there: Express train from Kiev, about 3 hours to go. By car from Kiev you can go two routes: through Uman and through Zhitomir. We went there one way and back another way. Preferable road is through Zhitomir and Berdychev.

Открыла для себя Винницу во время посещения фонтанов и дома-музея Пирогова в поездке от турфирмы. Потом съездила самостоятельно. Много старинных особнячков. Козацкий храм за Южным Бугом. Дом-музей Коцюбинского. Старинные Муры рядом с ул. Соборной. Летняя прохлада в отличие от зноя родной Одессы. Очень понравилось. Планирую осенью поехать опять. Парк Горького вот не посетила.
