  1. Preobrazhensky Cathedral

    The glistening gold spire and dome of Preobrazhensky Cathedral is quite marvellous. A classical structure dating from 1830 to 1835, this is Dnipropetrovsk's holiest church so don't barge in wearing beach clothes.

  3. WWII Diorama

    Adjoining the museum is a WWII Diorama, an 840-sq-metre painted canvas depicting the WWII Battle of the Dnipro, fought near here. Even if you don't understand the 20-minute sound-and-light presentation in Russian, the authentic Soviet anthems give you an idea of its slant.
