Metalurg Stadium
Metalurg Stadium, about a 10-minute walk uphill southwest from pl Lenina, is in the process of getting a major overhaul in preparation for the Euro 2012 tournament. The blighted area around the stadium should improve markedly once the project is completed. The stadium is home to DP’s second-tier club, Metalurg.

Reporter
Reporter has three wings: a ground-floor coffee shop serving breakfasts and possibly the plumpest, tastiest homemade varenyky (dumplings) in the land; a chichi restaurant upstairs; and a superb basement ‘warm-up bar’ with a great in-house DJ getting the city’s hipsters fired up for a night on the town.

L’Orangerie
Dnipropetrovsk’s nightclubs are fast attaining legendary status in Ukraine. A small but excellent nightclub in the centre is L’Orangerie. People come here to sit outside in wicker chairs, sip cosmopolitans and look cool. Women usually get in free to this place.

Beer House
Beer House must have a versatile chef – there are separate European, Russian and, of course, sushi menus in the downstairs restaurant. Be warned: those juicy looking steak prices are ‘per 100g’. Personal 3L kegs are the speciality of the beer room upstairs.

Shamrock Irish Pub
For a casual feed, or a shot of vodka, beer or whisky, come to this quiet venue, which actually feels not at all like an Irish pub. Despite its slogan ‘Open til the client’s last breath’, it has an annoying tendency to close early, as if it actually were in Ireland.

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.

Safari
A suave and sophisticated restaurant near Shevchenko Park, this establishment specialises in exotic dishes like king crab, blue-fin tuna and marble beef carpaccio. The heat lamps on the patio are a nice touch when the air gets nippy.

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.
