Dnipro is the 4th city by population in Ukraine. It has survived many revolutions and changes: from being the third capital of the Russian Empire (after Moscow and St. Petersburg) to becoming Ekaterinoslav, Dnipropetrovsk and, finally, Dnipro. The city with a Soviet past will surprise tourists with its sights and quick pace of life.

Marvel at the White Swan Fountain
The embankment of the city is one of the most romantic spots in Ukraine. The White Swan Fountain is even more marvellous. This original floating construction was installed in 2005 on the Dnipro River. The height of the water jet reaches 50 meters (164 feet). In the dark, the fountain is illuminated, and harmoniously blends into the scenery of the city.

Contemplate the Battle for Dnipro Diorama
The Battle for Dnipro is the largest diorama in Ukraine, the second largest in Europe and one of the largest in the world. It is the centre of a massive memorial complex dedicated to the heroes and events of the Great Patriotic War. The impressive models show defensive structures, weapons, crossings and other military attributes. Special lighting and sound on the diorama create cool effects.
