Dnieper River is one of the longest rivers in Russia, which offers different attractions to the tourists. The total length of the river is about 2300 square kilometers. The Dnieper flows not only through Russia, but also through Belarus and Ukraine directly into the Black Sea. This river serves as a border line between Belarus and the Ukraine. Tip: book hotels in Russia, Russia cruises and flights to Russia online and save.
The Dnieper has many reservoirs and tributaries, the major of which are Soch, Desna, Samara, Drut and many others. Most of the reservoirs are located in the Ukraine and are used as hydroelectric power generators.
Many Russian, Ukrainean and Belarusian cities are located on the Dnieper. Smolensk is one of Russian cities located there, Most of the cities located on this river have many historical and cultural monuments, so tourists will have a chance to see them all during cruises on this beautiful river.
The Dnieper plays a very important role in the economy and transportations system of Ukraine. The reservoirs located in Ukraine give an opportunity to receive large vessels and access the port of Kiev.
Many cruises are organized on the river. During the cruises the tourists will have a chance to visit not only Russian, but also Ukrainean cities. The cruises on Dnieper River are always very popular, especially for those visiting Russia and Ukraine.
Wonderful Russian landscape, nature, as well as animal world will surprise, and attract tourists coming to the country. Russian rivers offer wonderful opportunities for the tourists.
I complete agree that traveling down the Dnieper River into the Black Sea is exciting cultural experience.
And truly speaking the largest and most interesting part of it is in Ukraine.
You get to know rich Ukrainian culture, friendly Ukrainian people and beautiful nature of Ukraine. I can recommend it to anyone who is hungry for new experiences and love cruises. I already traveled down the Dnieper River for few time since I have part of my family living in Odessa.
The main point there is to find good value for money, and in my case only Ukrainian cruise operator (www.ruta-cruise.com) was able to offer quality product and reasonable price.
