The historical landscape and settlement of ancient Rus-era Vyshhorod have been listed among monuments of national importance. This ancient town is mentioned for the first time in the “Tale of Bygone Years”. But it is not only a landmark historical centre but also an industrial centre of Ukraine. The modern history of Vyshhorod began with the construction of the Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant here. Thanks to the so-called Kyiv Sea, a considerable part of the town’s life takes place on the embankment. Here people not only hold picnics, swim and sunbathe; the embankment is also a great place for all kinds of festivals and parties.
