The distance from Kyiv to Cherkasy: on highway—185 km, on Dnieper River—160 km. Proximity to the capital turns Cherkasy into potentially attractive city for doing business and development of tourism as well.

The visitors of the city will have the opportunity to visit the prominent creation of the end of the XVIII-th—beginning of the XIX-th century—the unique, landscape park “Sofiivka”, which is famous in Ukraine and beyond its borders. This park is situated in ancient Ukrainian city Uman, not far from Cherkasy. The foundation of the park was laid in 1796 by the owner of the city Uman—Polish magnate Stanislav Felix Potozkyi. It was laid as a present for his beautiful Greek wife Sofia.

The unique museum of gigantic settlements of Trypilska culture is situated in the village of Legedzyne, on the highway Cherkasy-Uman. Trypilska culture existed in

th3-4 millennium BC. It is one of the most brilliant cultural phenomena in the history of primitive society of Europe. By level of socio-economic development, tripilzi approached the civilization level of Egypt and Middle East. Archaeological researches have been conducted in the settlement “Taliyanky” (450 hectares) since 1994. This settlement is one of the biggest settlements of the early agriculture period in the world. It existed in 30-29 centuries BC and there were 3000 buildings.

The capital of hetman B. Khmelnytsky—Chygyryn is situated in 60 km from Cherkasy. There are reconstructed ancient churches, castles, residences of Cossack time.

The guests of Cherkasy should visit Kamyanka as this small town is really worth seeing. At the end of 18-th century this picturesque town became one of the cultural centers of the south of the Russian empire and the centre of Decembrists' movement. This picturesque nook of Ukraine inspired eminent poet Pushkin. He wrote a few poetries there, which refer to the masterpieces of universal lyric poetry. P.I. Chaikovskyi—one of the most popular composers in the world, came almost every year to Kamyanka during 1855-1878. The music of opera “Evgeniy Onyegin”and many other works were performed by him there for the first time.

What can Cherkasy offer to the investor?

Free territories

Unlike other cities of Ukraine Cherkasy has a lot of land free of construction. Investors can use these territories for realization of their business-projects.

Objects with communications.

A significant number of untapped objects (industrial, commercial, construction in progress) are located in the city. The most valuable thing in these objects is that all of them are provided with communications. And the compactness of the city allows to cross it from one end to another for 15-20 minutes.

Professional personnel

In Cherkasy there are 10 higher educational establishments which prepare the specialists of different directions: from bank workers and managers to the translators and engineers. The availability of «youth potential» will allow investors to recruit personnel from a number of Cherkasy graduating students.

Assistance of the authorities

Business tourism

Cherkasy local authorities worked out a Concept of participating in the final part of the Euro-2012. A calculation is simple: Cherkasy city which is located on a crossing of basic traffic streams can host and lodge a p l e n t y n u m b e r o f f a n s . T h e experience of championships proves that usually the majority of fans do not live in the cities where matches pass. It is much cheaper. In fact during Euro-2012 the hotel in the capital will cost about 200-300 euro a day, and the majority of fans who are people of middle prosperity can not afford it.

Lodging of the fans in Cherkasy hotels and campsites will take off loading and tension in the cities where the matches will be conducted and also it will relieve traffic ways. The present hotel infrastructure of Cherkasy meets demands of Euro-2012 not in full measure. For today there are 7 hotels in Cherkasy which are able to give 570 rooms.

In the light of Euro - 2012

Cherkasy region is also known as the motherland of the outstanding Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko. He was born in the village of Moryntsi in the district of Zvenygorodka, and was buried in the Monastic Mountain in the city of Kaniv.

Every summer international festival of a stone sculpture «Living stone» is organized in Cherkasy during which various sculptures appear from a strong stone in front of the numerous visitors.

Together with the stone festival the evenings of songs are conducted in Cherkasy which include performances of Ukrainian and foreign stars. In winter we have the tradition to invite guests and citizens on the festival of ice figure «Kryzhtal». This winter it will be organized for the fourth time.

On visiting Cherkasy and on conducting scientific conference or a seminar the guests have a possibility to rest and to spend a good time. For example, they can go fishing or hunting in the local forests, drive a motor boat on the river, have rest on the Dnipro islands.
