It is difficult to imagine Dnipropetrovsk without its magnificent Embankment, which is a favorite place for walks of local residents and visitors of the city.The wide, stretching for thirty kilometers along the Dnieper, with a green boulevard in the middle, it is one of the main attractions of Dnipropetrovsk .

Its construction was started in the fifties of the last century, before that the coastal part of Dnepropetrovsk was not equipped. In 2005 & ndash; 2007 the Quay was completely reconstructed. Instead of the old asphalt pavement, new paving slabs have been laid out, the roadway has been repaired and new modern lighting has been installed. The city embankment is considered to be one of the longest in Europe, and in terms of its livability is not inferior to other embankments of European cities.

Walking along the Embankment, you must pay attention to a huge number of flowers and green spaces. On the territory of two and a half thousand square meters planted more than seven thousand chrysanthemum shrubs of eight varieties, forty species of trees, among which sparse and pyramidal thai, pine and juniper are quite rare for this region.

On the Quay everyone can find a favorite place for themselves. In its central part two terraces are formed, dividing the pedestrian zone into the upper and lower ones.

One of the main objects on the renovated Embankment was the light-musical fountain "White Swan" installed on the surface of the river, opposite the hotel "Dnepropetrovsk". Thanks to the modern technology of laser spraying, not only abstract compositions are created, but also concrete figures. The fountain spins and & laquo; wings wings & raquo; and jets of water rise up to a height of more than fifty meters. Near the pedestrian bridge to the Monastery Island you can see the Lovers' Bench and the Tree of Happiness, made by local blacksmiths and donated to the residents on the City Day.

You will also see the Dnepropetrovsk Circus on Lenin's Quay street, 33. It was built by Pavel Nirinberg and is one of the business cards of the city. The building, made of shiny metal, equipped with spectacular backlighting, as if carries into a fairy tale.

The right and left banks of the river are connected by five bridges, the most beautiful of them is & ndash; Merefo-Kherson railway. Near the Central Bridge there is a sculpture, installed in 2005 & laquo; Dnepr's Youth.

From different points of the Embankment, the temple of St. Nicholas built on the Monastery Island is perfectly visible. A gently white church with golden domes immediately became one of the recognized symbols of Dnepropetrovsk.
