Donetsk Sightseeing

Donetsk city is obviously a young and industrial city but nobody will deny that it has its character, charisma and it definitely has a lot to be proud of. Some notice that the city is clean, some are trilled with its scale, others admire its businesslike character. The time has come for you to feel what you like most about it.

“Donbass Arena” Stadium

“Donbass Arena” Stadium and first Ukrainian contemporary sports museum impress even the greatest skeptics. Even those who are in Donetsk for the very first time have heard about the scale of the stadium. Nevertheless, it is really worth seeing and accepting that there are things that are absolutely awesome about it. Truly European standards and professionalism of designers, engineers and constructors are now in Ukraine. One is bound to be impressed with the scale, the quality, the details forethought, its café interior and the feeling of contact with the sacrosanct principle of one of the best clubs in Europe. So there is no doubt at all that everyone will be at least impressed after going on excursion around the stadium, seeing lots of interesting stuff related to the history of Shakhtar FC and displayed in the most unexpected way.

A tour can be ordered right in the hotel.

Forged figures park

Located in the very heart of the city this unique park of metal sculptures is a nice reflection of Donetsk & a way to feel its energy. This is because the city owes its origin to the metallurgical plant. The park displays 161 exhibits, including signs of zodiac alley, fairy-tale alley, love arbor where it is considered to be lucky if you kiss the one you are in love with, benches for couples in love and the UEFA Cup copy that had been represented by the 140^th anniversary of the city.

Transfiguration Cathedral in Donetsk

Built in the place of destroyed under Stalin regime church which, in its turn, had been founded soon after the rise of the settlement itself ( which afterwards became the city of Donetsk), The Transfiguration Cathedral is now a proud symbol, mainstay and a home for all the orthodox believers of Donetsk and the region. Besides, it is simply a magnificent and solemn architectural monument, a noble attire of the city centre.
