Kryvyi Rih is an industrial and at the same time green city with a great number of parks, public gardens and inlaid floral embankments. The city also offers many places of interest, including architectural monuments, worth visiting in order to know the city better.

1. City Botanical Gardens

This large green space is not only a pleasant place to walk, but also a valuable resource reflecting the biological history of the region. The cosy setting, with its clean air and clearly marked paths, offers a bit of respite from the industry of the city and an ideal location for a picnic in areas specially marked just for such occasions.

2. Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral

This nine-dome Ukrainian baroque cathedral, which can seat up to 3,000 people, was under construction for 12 years and was built according to designs created by Alexander Petrosyuk of Kyiv. The crosses on the domes for this massive project were made by masters of the Kryvyi Rih Central Ship-repair Plant.

3. Pravda Park

For many years Pravda Park has been a favourite spot for romantic encounters for many local residents. At the weekend the Park engenders a special festive feeling as numerous wedding parties congregate to celebrate their recent nuptials. In recent years a tradition has developed whereby locks with the names of the married couples are attached to rails of the bridge leading to the Kryvyi Rih Boating Station – a charming city landmark. From here, hire a boat and row down the Saksahan River for an unforgettable experience.
