Bow your head, say a prayer and perhaps even light a candle in Uspensky Cathedral. This majestic religious building may not be open 24/7, so check ahead for hours if you'd like to go inside.
This Kharkiv principal church is an interesting spot to kick off your day of sightseeing. There's plenty to see and do close by, including Kharkiv National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet, V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, and Freedom Square. Wander around at your leisure at Uspensky Cathedral before hitting up these other fine attractions.
