Big square, with some shops around. It's in the very centre so you will probably struggle to avoid it ;))
Nothing really special here. It is in the city center and there are some really nice surrounding buildings and a small nearby park. But other than that this square isn't really anything special.
The square itself has nothing interesting, but it is really close to many local attractions. There are cathedrals right behind. The historical museum is also close. There are also a few small things to see, such as a huge thermometer and sculpture of a musician on the top of a building right across the street.
Kharkiv as for me, is one of the best old cities in Ukraine. I like it so much. Highly recommended.
The constitution square is situated in the beginning of Sumskaya street (metro stations: Istorichniy musey and Radyanska) the main photo is incorrect it's not on constitution square. the main buildings on the square are Puppet theater and Transport technical secondary school and the Palace pf the work. On the top of the house opposite the shop "Children's world" there is a violinist. Now (may 2012) the are reconstructions on the square.
Вечером площадь замечательно подсвечивается, от обилия огней сразу приходит ощущение праздника. Под новый год - вообще сказка, тем более, что не так далеко идти до центральной городской ёлки. Прекрасные здания, сквер, кафе. Площадь мне очень нравится!
Depending on the time of year, it maybe entirely void of anything other than corrupt traffic police (GAI) or may be overrun by drunks on Beer Day.Christmas/New Years is a good time, as well as Easter.Some good nearby eateries if you can wedge yourself into an available spot. Too crowded with chinese & arabic university students from Karazin Univ which is on the backside of the square.
Красивая большая площадь, центр города. Величественные здания, музей, храмы неподалёку, памятники... Площадь очень славная. Ну, и обожаемая мною "Пузата хата" в начале Сумской улицы )))
a tourist must for visitors to the city. i was there in november, a little chilly but sunny. a great place for photos and examining the architecture.
По мне-это сердце нашего города. Летом здесь запускают воздушные шары, зимой устраивают катанье на коньках и елки. Осенью Сад Шевченко украшает площадь золотом листьев.
