The favorite place for walks of Vinnytsia residents is the Central City Park. Festivals, concerts, performances by street musicians, sports competitions often take place here. Here is the famous Vinnytsia Arch - one of the symbols of the city of Vinnytsia. It leads to the central park named after Leontovich.
The museum located inside the building tells about the secrets of behind-the-scenes life, funny and sad historical facts. In 1920, it was here that Hnat Yura and Amvrosii Buchma founded a troupe that became the foundation of the future I. Franko National Theater. Today, the repertoire of the theater impresses both with classical performances and original modern productions.
Pride of the city. During its history, the tower in the center of the city has been a waterworks, an outpost, and a fire station. It was designed as a water tower by architect Hryhoriy Artynov in 1912. Now it is one of the symbols of Vinnytsia.

There are benches and a red “London” telephone booth in the square, Beatles music plays. Liverpool has been the unofficial name of the square since the 1970s and 80s.
The Transfiguration Cathedral or was erected in the 18th century as the church of a Dominican monastery. In 1832, the complex was transferred to the possession of the Orthodox clergy: the monastery was abolished, and the temple was rebuilt into an Orthodox cathedral. Until 1991 it functioned as an organ music hall. Now it is under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate.
