My City — Poltava, Ukraine 🇺🇦

Hello, dear Local Guides!

I’m happy to share a few photos and impressions from my beautiful hometown — Poltava, a city in central Ukraine with deep history, warm-hearted people, and a very special energy :dizzy:

One of the most iconic places here is the White Rotunda (Bila Altanka). It’s not just a symbol of the city — it’s a place of strength and inspiration for locals. From here, you can see a panoramic view of the city that takes your breath away. We come here to think, to dream, and to feel connected to our roots :blue_heart:

Another unique treasure of Poltava is our famous Dumpling Monument — the only one of its kind in the world! :dumpling: It celebrates the traditional Ukrainian dish galushky, which originated right here in Poltava. It’s a fun and beloved spot for tourists and locals alike — and yes, everyone takes a photo with the giant spoon! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Poltava is more than just landmarks — it’s about cozy streets, friendly people, and a peaceful rhythm of life. It’s a city with a kind heart :heart:

Have you ever heard about Poltava before? Would love to know what surprised or interested you the most!

Warm greetings from Ukraine,

Yulia

Lijep grad i lijepe fotografije vašeg grada @Yulochka
Ne, nikad nisam čula za grad Poltava.
Kakva je sada situacija u vašem gradu s obzirom na rat?
Jeste li ostala doma u Ukrajini ili ste otišla u neko sigurnije područje?
Pozdrav iz Hrvatske!

Дякую за гарні слова про моє місто🙂 Війна відчувається в кожному куточку моєї країни, на жаль😭!!! Ні, я залишилась зі своєю родиною в Україні🇺🇦 але на свій день народження зробила собі подарунок і поїхала на один день в Дубровник!!! Хорватія неймовірна🥰 я влюбилась з першого погляду❤️
