Mariinsky Park
Kiev, Mikhail Hrushevsky St., 5
Description:
Mariinsky Park is part of the Park Ring of Kiev and is the oldest park in Ukraine. It is located along the Dnieper Hills on the territory of about 10 hectares. The general style of the park is maintained in the English manner, although many lindens, maples and chestnuts naturally grow on its territory. Mariinsky Park is a unique monument of landscape art.
The Mariinsky Palace is a state residence that hosts events at the highest level. Foreign guests are impressed not only by the architecture of the palace ensemble, but also by the park of the same name. In front of the palace, the park gradually turns into a square decorated with patterns, which ends with a semicircular observation deck, which offers a magnificent view of the panorama of the city. The entrance to the park itself is made in the form of an unusual Art Nouveau arch, from which a forged fence begins.
The park is the most popular place for romantic dates - the Bridge of Lovers. It connects the Mariinsky and Epiphany Parks. The newlyweds leave locks with their names and colored ribbons here.
