The former presidential residence on the Dnipro, now a public park and museum with an ornate main house, a replica galleon and a car collection. Wartime opening status is not confirmed for 2026.
Mezhyhirya lies on the Dnipro reservoir about 20-25 km north of Kyiv. The estate of the former president became a public museum after 2014. Reach it by taxi or the Novi Petrivtsi marshrutka and allow half a day. Because its wartime visiting rules could not be verified, treat the trip as optional and confirm opening before leaving Kyiv.
