755 monuments of cultural heritage are located in Chernivtsi. Only imagine how long their search will take. Having a smartphone in your hands, you will want to take pictures with the most beautiful ones. Therefore, in order to make it easier for tourists to find the most successful places for photos, we have created a new route "Selfie in Chernivtsi".
The tour starts with the most luxurious building of the city – Chernivtsi National University named after Yuriy Fedkovych. The residence of the Orthodox Metropolitan of Bukovyna and Dalmatia is certainly a must-visit for every tourist. The grandeur of this architectural ensemble is breathtaking. Having been here you understand why the university is called "Ukrainian Hogwarts". Indeed, when you walk into the university building, you feel something mystical mysterious. Every nook and cranny of every pompous creation of the architect Josef Hlavka is a luxurious background for your photo memories.
It is not easy to escape from the charm of the residence, but on the selfie route there are 11 more locations for stunning photos. Chernivtsi squares, which are surrounded by architectural masterpieces, are very rich in good shots. They attract at any time of year. However, I want to return to the Philharmonic Square in the spring, the time when one of the oldest squares in the city center is decorated with sakura blossoms.
For the luxurious shots of some architectural masterpieces of the city, it is important to capture the perfect moment. Unusual photos are guaranteed to come out if you visit the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Jesuit temple is the most beautiful at sunset and sunrise. But as for the Art Museum in Central Square, it is best to shoot at noon. After all, it is at this time that the gold paint applied to the facade panel will shine, however, only for 14 minutes. By the way, to cover the entire building, you need to stand to the left of the stairs of the Town Hall.
If you have an evening walk, then no problem - beautiful photos can be taken in the arches of Chernivtsi City Hall, which are illuminated by colorful lanterns.
You can take the route either on your own and take a selfie yourself, or in a group with a guide and a professional photographer.
