The Sofiyivka National Dendrological Park is a top-tier masterpiece of landscape gardening art of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is designed in the romantic style and ranks among the most beautiful parks in the world. It is an exemplar of landscape park design, harmoniously combining water features, rock formations, plants, architectural structures, and sculptures. The park covers an impressive 180 hectares.

This is truly one of the finest man-made places. The central part of the park is inspired by the mythological stories of Ancient Greece and Rome, with many locations evoking the abodes of Greek gods, heroes, writers, and philosophers. According to the architect’s intention, the park’s design serves as a visual interpretation of episodes from Homer’s epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Each composition or architectural element is not only aesthetically pleasing but also embodies a deeper meaning, expressing the ideas of ancient myths or historic events.

For over two centuries, Sofiyivka has amazed millions of visitors from around the globe with its beauty. During the trip, you will have the opportunity to witness this exceptional gem of Ukrainian tourism first-hand, with its mirror-like lakes, enchanting sculptures, elegant landscapes, and fairy-tale grottoes.
