Kharkiv Shevchenko Park: Nice Place for Visiting

In my previous post I was walking across the Freedom Square and in this one I'll have a rest in the park (was it really a rest?).

First, it's a nice place for walking and sitting. Even under the burning sun flower-beds look refreshing and bright - I don't know how they do that! There are lots of benches, a fountain, a couple of kid playgrounds separately for toddlers and older children and there are some cafes to suit any pocket, so there shouldn't be a problem where to eat in Kharkiv:

Kharkiv Throught the Eyes of a Tourist

Welcome to Kharkiv!
Some words about the city: this is the second largest city of Ukraine after Kiev (Kyiv) with the population numbering around 1.5 million. Local people are very proud of that fact that long ago in a distant past it was a capital of Ukraine. Though now it's not but I think some still believe it is, lol. It's my personal impression, I can't claim it's the right one. Oh, Kharkiv was a host city for UEFA EURO 2012 and judging from a number of signboards which remained after the event, local people are proud of that.
