The history of Zaporozhye has 250 years. During this time, the city has often found itself in the epicenter of significant events, so there is something to see here. Zaporozhye saw the heyday and decline of the Cossack Sich, was one of the most important centers of Soviet industrialization, and in the postwar years became the flagship of the metallurgical industry. It is not surprising that the city attracts both history lovers and fans of industrial tourism.
There are two unique objects in Zaporozhye that are known not only in Ukraine, but also far beyond the borders of the country. This is the Cossack island of Khortytsia, on which the historical and cultural complex "Zaporizhia Sich" is located, and the grandiose DneproGES. In addition, a sightseeing tour of the city usually includes a visit to the Socialist City with architectural examples of the Stalinist Empire, the Botanical Garden, Cathedral Avenue, the Museum of Local Lore and other objects.
But if you want to get to know the city closer and learn a lot more well-known facts, individual tours of Zaporozhye with local guides will help. The best private guides in Zaporozhye know and love their city, and will be happy to tell you its legends and the most interesting stories.
If you have enough time, it is best to use walking tours around Zaporozhye to explore the city. They will help you understand the atmosphere of this place and notice what you will not see from the window of a tourist bus.
In addition to visiting the most famous sights, Zaporozhye guides offer original sightseeing tours of Zaporozhye. Each of the tourists will be able to choose a program to their taste. So, fans of technology should definitely visit the Museum of engines "Motor-Sich" and the Museum of retro cars "Phaeton".
If you were brought to Zaporozhye by interest in the history of the Cossacks, it makes sense to pay more attention to the island of Khortytsia. For example, go with a guide to the gazebo "Swallow's Nest" along the Cossack trail in the canyon of the Old Dnieper. If you take this walk in the evening, you will enjoy the amazing sunset scenery and take great pictures. You can also take a boat trip with a call at the locks.
To see a truly grandiose spectacle, go on a night excursion to the DneproGES. At night, the object is illuminated, and makes an indelible impression.
Zaporozhye can be interesting for people with a variety of interests. And you will never leave here without vivid impressions and stunning photos!
