Dnipropetrovsk (or just Dnipro as it's known to locals following recent revolutions) is the fourth-largest city in Ukraine. Sat on the meanders of the Dnieper River, it's been revamped with glimmering skyscrapers and modern builds for the 21^st century. Bohemian bars and craft beer joints hem the streets, and massive malls now occupy the spots where Russian-style imperial buildings once flaunted their filigreed fronts. Of course, there are still some glorious remnants of the old years, be it the Savior Transfiguration Cathedral or the elegant Potemkin Potyomkin Palace Palace that fronts the Shevchenko Park. Delve even deeper beneath the surface and a more mysterious, eerie land of old Soviet remnants awaits – an incomplete hotel and abandoned hospitals; industrial mines; defunct missile silos. Dnipropetrovsk tour guides are your best bet for experiencing this oblast capital like a local, walking its long river walk from the River Terminal through the Lenin and Victory embankment to the pleasant central boulevard, weaving your way between the haunting relics of another era and the steel-clad reminders of the new one.
