Poltava Tourism

The ancient city of Poltava is located on the banks of the Vorskla river. Visit Poltava to explore the city’s well-known field of the Great Poltava Battle.

The main beauty of the city lies in its main city square, Kruhla Square. The city square is actually a ring-shaped park that looks breathtakingly beautiful when viewed from the top. 

Although the main attraction of this city is the battlefield of the Great Poltava Battle, the city also has other attractions. Some of these places are  Saint Sampon’s Church with its minty green towers, the National Museum of Pottery with its more than 40,000 exhibits, etc.

You will love to climb up to reach Ivanova Gora, a historical landmark and viewpoint. Reaching the top, feel mesmerized looking at the panoramic view of the city. A must thing to do while visiting this city is to taste its delicious traditional Ukrainian halushky (dumplings). 

Poltava can be best enjoyed during hot weather seasons from the middle of July to the middle of August or early September. During this time, the weather is warm and partly cloudy. The winter days are freezing, dry, cloudy, and windy making it unsuitable for sightseeing.
