Uman is known above all for Sofiyivka Park, but the town itself deserves a separate walk: the historic centre, churches of different denominations and the pilgrimage site of the Breslov Hasidim have survived here.
Morning at Sofiyivka
Sofiyivka National Dendrological Park was founded by Count Stanisław Potocki at the end of the 18th century. Allow at least half a day for the park.
The old town
From the park head to the centre: the tomb of Rabbi Nachman and the Hasidic quarter, the Basilian Monastery, St Nicholas Cathedral, the Church of the Assumption and the “Old Uman” reserve. Finish at the Museum of Culture and Everyday Life of the Uman Region.
Tip: this is a walking route, so wear comfortable shoes. Check the opening hours of the park, museums and churches before your trip.
