Shevchenko Park

Don’t miss out on the small coffee stands; the prices are super reasonable! I grabbed a cappuccino for under 30 UAH – best decision ever.

I recommend bringing some snacks with you. The food options can be a bit pricey inside the park, and the picnic spots are perfect for chilling out.

If you're into art, take a moment to enjoy the sculptures scattered around. Plan to spend an extra hour exploring those, trust me, it's worth it!

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! The park is quite big and you'll likely do a lot of walking. I didn't, and I regretted it halfway through my visit.
Odessa City Garden

I recommend visiting in the early morning around 8 AM when it’s quieter and the weather is cooler. You can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and take great photos without the crowds.

If you're looking for a good spot to chill, head to the fountain area. It's lively and has a great view, plus there are often fun events happening around there!

I suggest exploring the park’s hidden paths. There are some quiet corners that are perfect for relaxing and you might stumble upon some beautiful flowers or art installations.
National Dendrological Park

Don’t forget your camera! The views are amazing and there are so many beautiful spots to capture. I regret not taking enough photos because I was lost in the moment.

Wear comfortable shoes! I learned this the hard way. The paths can be uneven in certain areas, so having good footwear made a huge difference during our stroll.

Check the weather before you go! I was caught in a drizzle, which dampened the experience a bit. A nice sunny day makes the vibrant plants pop and the walk more enjoyable.

Plan your visit in the morning right when the park opens at 9 AM. It’s way less crowded, and you can enjoy the serenity of nature without bumping into too many people.
Arboretum Victory
i recommend wearing comfortable shoes! the paths can be a bit uneven and there's a lot to explore, so be prepared to walk!

If you're into plant life, definitely grab a map at the entrance. It’ll help you find the coolest spots and you won't miss any of the hidden gems!

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The cafe options are limited and kinda pricey, so save some cash and enjoy a picnic instead!

Don't forget to charge your phone! You'll want to snap plenty of photos, and the sunset views around 5 PM are to die for. Just awesome!
Park Named after Maxim Gorky
Stryisky Park

If you’re planning to grab lunch afterwards, I found several great cafes just outside the park. Don't miss them! The food was delish and seemed like local favs, not tourist traps.

I think if you’re into photography, aim to get there early, around 7:30 AM. The morning light is stunning and there are fewer people around for those peaceful shots. It's just magical!

My advice is to bring some snacks and drinks. There are not that many kiosks inside the park, and they can be a bit overpriced. Save your coin for a nice meal later!

i recommend checking out the small lake in the park. it’s a perfect spot to chill and enjoy some quiet time. just be careful with the ducks; they're super friendly, but they might steal your food!
Istanbul Park

I recommend visiting Istanbul Park in the late afternoon, around 4 PM. The light is beautiful, and it's quieter, so you can enjoy the greenery without the big crowds.

My advice is to bring some snacks and drinks with you. There are limited food options inside, and the prices can be a bit steep.
Podilski Tovtry National Park
Skolivski Beskydy National Park

I recommend hitting the trails early, around 7 AM, to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peace of nature. The fresh morning air is worth it!

I think hiking maps are a must! Some trails aren't well-marked, and having a map saved me from taking a few wrong turns.

Don't forget to check the weather before you go! It can change pretty fast in the mountains, and I got caught in a rainstorm without a jacket, which wasn't fun.
Park them. Ivan Franko

If you can, come around 5 PM. The sunset views are absolutely stunning, and the ambiance is so calming as the crowds start to thin out.

I highly recommend walking the paths that lead away from the main entrance. They are quieter and so beautiful, perfect for relaxing and taking photos without the crowds.
