Pedestrian bridge
This bridge connects the two banks of the Uzh River with the longest Linden Alley in Europe. The bridge was built back in the nineteenth century, and over the years it has become a favorite place for couples and brides to take wedding photos. The views here are truly incredible. At night, thanks to the bright lighting, the embankment will surprise you with a fabulous atmosphere.
Independence Embankment
Along this embankment stretches Europe's longest Linden Alley, 2.2 km long. A large number of trees were planted by Czech botanists back in 1928. As early as 1923, work began on the regulation of the Uzh River, the banks were drained, fortified and given over for construction. That's when the full-fledged existence of the embankment began.
The embankment crosses 5 small squares with numerous historical monuments: to the president of Carpathian Ukraine Augustin Voloshyn, the artist Roshkovych, the oldest ash tree named after the politician and scientist Tomasz Masaryk. There are several linden trees planted on Lipova Alley, which bloom in June. During this period, the whole city enjoys the pleasant and intoxicating aroma of the trees. Here you can go down to the water, relax and enjoy the incredible views of Uzhhorod.
Rotunda
Have you already had a so-called city tour and want to get to know Uzhhorod better? Then you should definitely visit the Horyany Rotunda in the Horyany neighborhood. Its full name is the Church of St. Anne. The history of this church dates back to the fourteenth century!
A large number of unique ancient frescoes in the style of the early Italian Renaissance have been preserved here. Archaeological excavations are often carried out in this place, where the history of the first settlements of Uzhhorod is being studied. The church offers an incredible view of the city.
Korzo
The name of this pedestrian street comes from the Italian language and literally means “a place for walking”. For almost 4 centuries, Uzhhorod was ruled by the Italian counts Drugeti, and the origin of this name is associated with this period.
There is a huge number of cute courtyards, cozy cafes, interesting shops, and talented street musicians. There is a common joke in the city that every Uzhhorod resident should walk along Korzo at least once a day.
