Take а short drive to the city centre where your excursion begins by visiting the lovely Fine Arts Museum (former palace of Count Pototsky) to wonder at centuries of Ukrainian and Russian paintings. The sightseeing of the wonderful city includes the Transfiguration Cathedral built in 1808. Our guide will bring the dramatic history of this beautiful church to life and provide details of how it was exploded by Bolsheviks in 1936 and reconstructed in 2004.
Leaving the Cathedral we will have time to buy local handicrafts and souvenirs at the nearby craft market. Our next stop is the ornate Gagarin Palace built for а noble Russian family, now а museum of literature. You'll be treated to the sounds of а classical music concert by young talented violinists in а splendid reception room. Local champagne, juice and mineral water will be offered before the performance.
