Postal Square
Poshtova Square is one of the oldest squares in the capital and is the real gateway to Podil due to its location between the Upper and Lower Town. It is on Poshtova Square that the Church of the Nativity of Christ, the building of the old postal station, and the River Station are located.
Next to Poshtova Square you will find the Pedestrian Bridge leading to Trukhaniv Island, which is an ideal place for relaxing, sunbathing and cycling. Skateboarders and longboarders often gather on Poshtova Square, and you can also try bungee jumping here. Pleasure boats depart from the river piers, and in the warm season, the Bukhta food court with restaurants serving various cuisines is also open.
Pedestrian bridge

Here you can see the Friendship of Peoples Arch, Volodymyr's Hill, the monument to Prince Volodymyr, the funicular, St. Andrew's Descent, St. Michael's Golden-Domed Cathedral, and many other wonderful places in our capital.
Glass railings and transparent pavement areas are an original design technique that turned the building into a popular insta-location. Every day, thousands of visitors take pictures on the glass "windows" in the floor.
