Mobility and Parking

Upon landing at Kherson International Airport, rent a car and start exploring the city at your own pace. Remember: unlike Britain, in Ukraine, you drive on the right. Downtown parking is available but can get crowded during peak times. Car classes suitable for the city are compact and standard, ideal for navigating through the lively streets of Kherson.

Attractions

Start at Kherson's heart, the Freedom Square (Ploshcha Svobody), where a blend of architectural styles meets modernisation. Don't miss the beautiful city park and the impressive cathedral of St. Catherine, emblematic of Kherson.

Driving Routes

For the best driving route, we recommend exploring the surrounding countryside. Drive along the Dnipro River and visit the Askania-Nova Biosphere Reserve or the Khersones Tauride National Reserve. Make sure to adhere to the speed limit of 60 km/h in built-up areas and 90-110 km/h on the highways.

Seasonal Events

You’re in for a treat if you visit during the summer. The city comes alive with outdoor concerts, art festivals, and traditional events like the famed "Melon Day".

Enjoy the Beach

After sightseeing, relax at one of Kherson's beaches along the Dnipro River. Remember to bring sunscreen; the sun can be quite strong at the height of summer.

Currency and Exchange Rates

In Ukraine, the currency is the Hryvnia (₴). For the current exchange rate, it's recommended to check online or at the local banks. Credit cards are accepted at most places, but having some cash on hand is always a good idea.

Kherson is a city where old meets new, offering a unique mix of experiences. So fire up your rental car and embark on an unforgettable adventure.
