The best pictures of Koru

In 2022, the 125.8-metre sailing yacht Koru made history when she hit the water at Oceanco ’s Alblasserdam facilities. Now successfully delivered, she is the flagship of the Oceanco fleet and the largest Dutch-built yacht in the world. 

BOAT rounds up the best pictures of the three-masted sailing yacht owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos...

Koru unable to dock in Florida

Koru arrived at Port Everglades, Florida in November 2023 following a months-long Mediterranean cruise that included stopovers in Dubrovnik, Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer and Calabria (according to BOATPro ). The sailing yacht was too large to anchor in the nearby marina, which has a maximum capacity of 121.9 metres. She was photographed instead docking next to a 297-metre cruise ship named Rhapsody of the Seas .

Koru's helicopter landing

Last summer, Koru was spotted in the French Riveria alongside her 75-metre support vessel Abeona . Delivered by Damen Yachting two months before the mothership, Abeona is equipped with a helipad and hangar for a D14 value helicopter– which is clearly being put to good use. Accommodation is for up to 45 people onboard Bezos' support vessel, including crew, guests and other specialist staff.

Koru in Portofino

Koru and Abeona also travelled to Portofino in the summer of 2023, with both Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez sighted enjoying lunch and taking photographs while on board. 

Koru's figurehead

Throughout construction, it was difficult to get a glimpse of the details on board Koru ; but once handed over, all of her traditional features could be admired up close. As well as the intricate gold paintwork and scarlet bootstripe, the yacht also features an elaborate figurehead made of polished wood. The woman is wearing a necklace with a symbol in the pendant, which some have speculated could be the Māori symbol meaning "koru".

Koru in front of Palma Cathedral

After delivery, the schooner spent some time enjoying the waters of Mallorca. The Balearic hotspot is a magnet for superyachts during the Mediterranean season, but Koru had the quiet anchorage largely to herself after leaving the Oceanco shipyard. Her classic lines could be appreciated in all of their glory against the backdrop of Palma Cathedral. 

Koru delivered to Mallorca

In April 2023. Koru was delivered and undertook her maiden voyage from the Netherlands to Gibraltar. She then headed onwards to Palma, giving the world a first glimpse of her cascading aft decks, mighty masts and elaborate aft deck pool arrangement. She was flying solo in Mallorca, but was later joined by support vessel Abeona .

Koru in Gibraltar

Following her successful sea trials in Rotterdam, Koru embarked on journey to Palma, Mallorca that involved an overnight anchorage in Gibraltar. The sailing yacht was sighted passing through the Strait of Gibraltar a second time on her cross-continental journey from the Mediterranean to the USA in November 2023.

Koru on sea trials

Koru was spotted departing from Rotterdam in the early morning light of February 13 to begin sea trials. The 125.8-metre Oceanco set sail across the North Sea to put her performance to the test after hitting the water for the first time in August 2022. The traditional three-masted schooner yacht has a midnight blue hull, traditional canoe stern and the unique addition of a chair at the very tip of the bowsprit. Her name represents the idea of life’s perpetual movement and is a Māori word closely related to that of an unfurling leaf.

Koru with her masts stepped

The yacht was seen for the first time in her final form on the dock in the Port of Rotterdam. Her trio of masts was stepped here to avoid having to dismantle any bridges to allow the Oceanco giant yacht to pass under. The maximum height of the bridge is 70 metres; the masts on Koru are thought to measure between 65 and 85 metres. The first images of Koru indicate the yacht will have plenty of features for her owner to enjoy, including an aft deck pool and a large, uncluttered sundeck.

Koru launched

The 125.8-metre yacht was moved from Oceanco’s primary facilities at the crack of dawn to enter the final stages of construction. The hull was transported via Dordrecht and Spijkenisse (Oude Maas), and her masts were transported separately via the slightly shorter Rotterdam Centre (Nieuwe Maas).

Koru moves through the Dutch canals

Before she hit the water, the hull of Koru was loaded onto a transport vessel and she made the journey through the Dutch canals for further construction work. The yacht was captured against the backdrop of the quaint Dutch countryside, revealing her classic-looking lines and long rows of windows.

Koru from a bird's eye view

As she was wheeled out of the shed into the light of day, yacht-spotters were able to get their first proper aerial shot of the yacht, without her masts. 

Koru rolls out of the shed

When Oceanco completed the work on the hull, the yacht was rolled out of the shed to reveal a crisp navy hull and white superstructure. Koru ’s exterior design immediately drew a comparison to Lürssen’s 93-metre sailing yacht Eos , which was designed by US-based Langan Design . This was the world’s first sighting of the already iconic superyacht.

Jeff Bezos’ New Yacht Is Finally Ready to Set Sail

Amazon’s founder has been spotted on Koru, a massive schooner with a design that evokes the golden age of sailing in the early 20th century.

By Kevin Koenig

Just in time for the high season of yachting in the Mediterranean, when multimillion-dollar megayachts descend on ports like Monte Carlo and St. Tropez, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has been photographed with his partner Lauren Sánchez on his new boat, Koru, off the coast of Spain.

Mr. Bezos’ vessel is a sailing yacht, a departure from the diesel-powered, floating palaces popular with other billionaires. But it is still massive. At 417 feet, Koru is the world’s largest sailing yacht, according to Boat International , and it cost an estimated $500 million to build, Bloomberg reported . (Parsifal III, the boat featured on Bravo’s reality series “Below Deck Sailing Yacht,” is 177 feet long — less than half the length of Koru — and cost $18 million , according to the website SuperYachtFan.)

A spokesperson for Mr. Bezos did not comment for this article; neither did Oceanco, Koru’s builder. Here is what to know about the boat.

For traditionalists, Koru is refreshing. At a time when yacht design skews outrageous — see the lizardlike, 262-foot Artefact or the otherworldly 463-foot Yas — Koru stands out as a schooner, a sailing vessel with two or more masts. Photos reveal a large sailboat with three masts, an on-deck pool and a voluptuous mermaid on the bow, that bears a resemblance to Ms. Sánchez. But otherwise, the sleek, classic lines suggest the patrician age of yachting in the early 20th century, said Robert B. MacKay, author of “The Golden Age of Newport Yachting: Between the Wars.”

“With the clipper bow and the dark hull and the masts,” Mr. MacKay said, referring to Koru’s concave, pointy forward section, “it reminds me of a boat built in 1930 for J.P. Morgan Jr., Corsair IV. It is almost like a reincarnation. It’s certainly at odds with the stuff the oligarchs are building — those look like bloated Clorox bottles.”

Compared with the world’s very largest motor yachts — built for sheer size and the accompanying bragging rights — Koru could almost be considered quaint. Azzam, one of the world’s largest motor yachts, is nearly 200 feet longer.

The Experience

Koru will be propelled primarily by the wind. “Sailboats are usually greener than most powerboats,” said Don Anderson, a former captain of M5 , the world’s largest single-masted sailboat, at 256 feet. “I’d like to think that Koru will be one of the most ecological yachts out there, with its sails and also with the technology that will be aboard.”

“When you’re on a sailboat, you’re more in touch with the wind and the waves than on a powerboat,” he continued. “You’re more susceptible to the elements, too. But you can leave California, and once you get past the Catalinas you can basically surf downwind all the way to Hawaii. All you need to do is run with the waves.”

Mr. Bezos has been a guest on similar boats, according to Bloomberg: In 2019, he was spotted on Eos , a 305-foot sailing yacht owned by Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg.

Bill Tripp, a Connecticut-based naval architect, said the appeal of this type of boat is clear: “When you are on a powerboat, you ask, ‘Are we there yet?’ and on a sailboat, you’re enjoying the ride and the ocean so much that you don’t ask that question.”

Koru will be trailed by Abeona, a 246-foot support vessel. Superyachts often have support vessels following along behind them. These “shadows,” as they are colloquially known, are for the “toys” — the ATVs, supercars, seaplanes, motorcycles, smaller boats, scuba gear, personal submarines and even helicopters that pleasure boaters might bring on a trip. According to its builder, this model of boat can carry these gadgets along with dozens of crew members. (Ms. Sanchez flies helicopters, and the couple was recently photographed taking a helicopter to board Abeona and then Koru.)

Abeona, a motor yacht, will have enough range to follow Koru from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean — a common course for yachts — on a single tank of gas.

The Kerfuffle

Koru set off a controversy last year — before it was even completed — in a face-off with the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The boat was built at Oceanco’s facility in Alblasserdam, the Netherlands, and needed to pass the historic Koningshaven Bridge, known as “De Hef,” in Rotterdam, to undergo testing in the North Sea.

When the city announced it would dismantle the bridge to allow the boat and its mainmast — an estimated 230 feet tall — to pass through unscathed, locals were angry. They planned a protest to throw eggs at the yacht as it cruised by. In the end, the bridge was not taken apart, and the yacht was towed to a different location to have its masts attached.

Koru is Maori for “coil” or “loop” and refers to the unfurling of a fern frond. The koru design is common in traditional Maori art, where it symbolizes new life, growth and peace. Mr. Bezos included a photo of a koru frond in an Instagram post on Jan. 1, 2022.

Brad Stone, who was the first to report on Koru, in his 2021 book “Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empire,” said the name was “consistent with where we see him today.”

“He is no longer this single-minded tech guy,” Mr. Stone said. “He’s in media and Hollywood and has a new relationship.”

Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos’ 410FT Oceanco ‘Koru’ Sailing Yacht Docks In South Florida

Oceanco Yacht

Synonymous with entrepreneurial success, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has channeled his passion for ocean exploration through an impressive fleet of luxury marine vessels, including superyachts and megayachts. These magnificent marine builds represent Bezos’ deep-seated fascination with the mysteries of the ocean. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, his yachts serve as a gateway to maritime adventures, allowing him to traverse the globe’s waters in remarkable comfort and style. Jeff Bezos is making headlines in the luxury yacht world as his vessel, Koru by Oceanco, finished its long-awaited journey around the world and made its appearance in Fort Lauderdale at a South Florida seaport.

Measuring an astonishing 410 feet in length, the modern sailing yacht stands out as the largest in the world. Its sheer size is so enormous that the original plans to dock Koru at the Port of Everglades were redirected to Fort Lauderdale where it would stay parked next to gigantic oil tankers. The exterior showcases an exterior design in collaboration between Oceanco and Dykstra Naval Architects, perfectly blending mondern and traditional yacht building.

Inside, the interior highlights a contemporary style with natural wood tones complemented by a palette of warm neutrals, courtesy of Mlinaric, Henry and Zervudachi Interior Design and Decoration. The three-masted sailing yacht offers ample deck space to provide a variety of breathtaking views, three jacuzzis, and a swimming pool. Now that Oceanco’s Koru sailing yacht is in South Florida with Jeff Bezos, we expect to see its marine presence all over social media.

Jeff Bezos’ Magnificent KORU Yacht and ABEONA Support Vessel

The KORU yacht is a 127 meter sailing yacht built in the Netherlands by Oceanco and delivered in 2023. She was designed by Dykstra Naval Architects with the the interior of the yacht designed by Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi.

In the world of luxury yachting, few names command as much attention as Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the richest individuals on the planet.

Bezos’ affinity for the sea and his penchant for exploration have materialized in the form of the breathtaking sailing yacht KORU and its companion, the support vessel ABEONA.

Commissioned from renowned shipbuilders Oceanco and Damen Yachting, respectively, these vessels are not only a testament to Bezos’ wealth but also a celebration of Māori culture and innovation in yacht design.

The Marvel of Modern Yacht Design: KORU Yacht

The KORU yacht, also known as Y721, is a masterpiece crafted by the acclaimed Oceanco shipyard. With a remarkable length of 127 meters (417 feet), the yacht exudes luxury and grandeur in every aspect. Launched in April 2023, KORU stands as a tribute to Māori art and culture, as evident from its name and styling.

The Māori word “koru” signifies a loop or coil, symbolizing new life, growth, strength, and peace. This symbolism resonates throughout the vessel, creating an immersive experience that pays homage to the essence of Māori art.

Inside the KORU yacht, guests are treated to a world of unparalleled luxury. The yacht boasts a large swimming pool on the aft deck, inviting guests to bask in the sun while surrounded by the beauty of the open sea.

Accommodating up to 18 guests and serviced by a crew of approximately 40, KORU offers a perfect balance between privacy and service.

The yacht’s interiors are a testament to meticulous design and craftsmanship, with each detail meticulously chosen to provide the highest level of comfort.

The Symbolism of KORU’s Name

The choice of the name “KORU” for the yacht holds deep significance. In Māori culture, the koru symbolizes new beginnings, growth, and the cycle of life.

It is often represented as an unfolding fern frond, embodying the concepts of renewal and continuous movement. Jeff Bezos, in an Instagram post , highlighted the symbolism behind the name, showcasing his embrace of growth, rebirth, and mindfulness.

ABEONA: The Perfect Companion

No luxury yacht is complete without a support vessel that complements its grandeur. Enter ABEONA, a 75-meter (246-foot) support vessel commissioned by Jeff Bezos.

Built by Damen Yachting, ABEONA serves as the perfect adjunct to the KORU yacht. This custom-built vessel carries all the toys, tenders, and equipment needed to enhance the yachting experience.

With a large helicopter hangar and the capacity to accommodate 45 staff, crew, and guests, ABEONA stands as an indispensable asset to the main yacht.

The Visionary Behind the Vessels: Jeff Bezos

With a staggering net worth of $160 billion, Jeff Bezos is not only a pioneer in the world of e-commerce but also a visionary with a passion for the sea.

The commissioning of the KORU yacht and the ABEONA support vessel reflects Bezos’ love for exploration and his desire to embrace the vastness of the ocean.

Bezos’ affinity for the sea is also reflected in his ownership of a Gulfstream G650ER private jet, showcasing his penchant for luxury both in the air and on the water.

Oceanco: The Pioneers of Luxury Yacht Building

The Oceanco shipyard has carved a name for itself as a pioneer in the luxury yacht industry. Established in 1987, Oceanco has consistently pushed the boundaries of design, craftsmanship, and innovation.

KORU, with its classic schooner design, stands as a testament to Oceanco’s commitment to creating vessels that are not only luxurious but also artistically inspired.

KORU yacht summary

The KORU yacht and its companion ABEONA support vessel stand as testaments to Jeff Bezos’ love for the sea, his appreciation for Māori culture, and his affinity for luxury and exploration.

These vessels, crafted with precision by Oceanco and Damen Yachting, redefine the boundaries of yacht design and innovation.

As Jeff Bezos embarks on journeys of discovery aboard these vessels, he continues to inspire awe and admiration among yachting enthusiasts and the world at large.

Jeff Bezos Has Reportedly Received the 417-Foot ‘Koru,’ the Tallest Sailing Yacht in the World

The yacht has also been at the center of massive, worldwide controversy. Back in February 2022, Oceanco requested that a centuries-old bridge in the port city of Rotterdam be partially dismantled in order to get the behemoth out and onto the high seas. The masts, which are the same height as the Great Pyramid of Giza, simply exceeded the bridge’s 131-foot clearance and thus prevented Koru from passing under. Rotterdammers were none too pleased and threatened to pelt the yacht with rotten eggs . The request was subsequently denied, and the yacht was instead discreetly towed through Rotterdam without its mast.

The designers behind the yacht’s interior and exterior are yet to be named, but it’s clear that she’s a timeless and elegant cruiser. Koru , which is a Māori for “new beginnings,” features a sleek black hull and white superstructure. She also sports a large pool on the aft deck and a number of plush alfresco lounges.

The epic design isn’t able to accommodate a helicopter, however, as the soaring masts make it too unsafe to land. As a result, Bezos commissioned a second yacht to hold his toys and tenders. Christened Wingman, the custom 246-footer is Damen’s largest support vessel to date. It’s a good match for monumental Koru , then.

History of Dnipro

Before the founding of dnipro - the 9th-15th centuries.

Presumably in the 9th century AD, on the territory of the Monastery Island (in the center of today’s Dnipro), Byzantine monks founded a monastery (hence the name of the island). According to legend, it was the northernmost point, where one of Christ’s disciples, Andrew the First-Called, reached in his mission of Christian teaching.

The squads of Kyiv princes sailed past the monastery on their way to Crimea and Constantinople and often stayed here for the night. The monastery was most likely destroyed during the Mongol invasion in 1240.

After the Mongol invasion, the region was desolate; the sedentary population moved far to the north-west. In the steppes, which received the name “The Wild Fields”, the Nogai hordes roamed, subject to the Crimean Khan.

In the first half of the 15th century, nomads were driven out of the right bank of the Dnieper River by the Lithuanians. The border between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Crimean Khanate, which emerged in 1441, passed along the Dnieper from its mouth and further eastward - along the Samara River - that is, along the territory of present day Dnipro.

More Historical Facts…

Before the founding of Dnipro - the 16th-18th centuries

In the 16th century, a gradual settlement and revival of the region began, especially after the formation of the Zaporozhye Cossacks.

In 1635, the Polish authorities built the fortress of Kodak at the first Dnieper rapids to control the movements of the Cossacks. Today, it is the village of Stari Kodaky located on the southern outskirts of Dnipro, where you can see the remains of earthen ramparts.

In 1667, according to the Truce of Andrusovo between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Tsardom of Russia, Left-Bank Ukraine, retaining its autonomy, officially became part of Russia. In 1711, after the failure of the military campaign of Peter I, under the terms of the Prut Treaty with the Ottoman Empire, the lands of Zaporozhye again fell under the control of the Crimean Khanate, and the Russian fortresses in the region were demolished.

After the war against the Ottoman Empire in 1735-1739, Russia regained control over this region. However, the border with the Crimean Khanate passed only 100 km to the south, which prevented the development of the region. In 1764, the autonomy of the Left-Bank Ukraine was abolished.

As a result of another war against the Ottomans, the Russian Empire gained control of the mouth of the Dnieper River and Crimea. After that, the need for the Zaporozhian Host, a military force defending the southern borders of the country, disappeared.

Foundation of Dnipro

For the development of the annexed lands, an administrative center was required. It was decided to establish a new town at the mouth of the Kilchen River, at the confluence with the Samara River. It was founded in 1776 and named Yekaterinoslav, probably in honor of Empress Catherine II. The name literally means “the glory of Catherine”.

However, because of the unfavorable location in the marshy area and, as a result, frequent floods, diseases among the population, Yekaterinoslav existed only for several years. In 1783, a decree was issued on the transfer of the town to a new place - to the high bank of the Dnieper River opposite the mouth of the Samara River (the current location of the city of Dnipro).

New Yekaterinoslav was officially founded during the visit of Catherine II, who laid the first stone in the construction of the Transfiguration Cathedral on May 9, 1787. This date is considered the date of foundation of Dnipro. By the end of the 18th century, there were 11 stone and 185 wooden houses in the town, and the population was about 6 thousand people.

Dnipro in the 19th - early 20th centuries

In the 19th century, the town’s population continued to grow. In 1853, it amounted to more than 13 thousand people. In 1862, there were 315 stone and 3,060 wooden houses in Yekaterinoslav. The abolition of serfdom had a huge impact on the development of the town. Starting from the 1860s, the population of Yekaterinoslav began to increase rapidly, mainly due to the peasants.

In 1884, a bridge was built across the Dnieper River and a railway station was opened in Yekaterinoslav. The Catherine’s Railway connected the coal mines of Donbass with the iron ore of Kryvbas, which gave a powerful impetus to the development of Yekaterinoslav and the region as a whole. The Yekaterinoslav locomotive depot became the largest in the south of the Russian Empire. The construction of metallurgical enterprises began in the western part of the town and on the left bank of the Dnieper.

In 1897, more than 121 thousand people lived here. The majority were Russians (42%), Jews (34%), and Ukrainians (19%). Yekaterinoslav became one of the largest industrial centers of the Russian Empire. In the same year, an electric tram was launched in the city - the third in the Russian Empire, after Kyiv and Nizhny Novgorod. A number of public, educational and cultural institutions appeared in Yekaterinoslav.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Yekaterinoslav continued to grow and develop rapidly. By 1910, the population of the city had doubled and amounted to 252.5 thousand people.

During the Russian Civil War, Yekaterinoslav was the scene of battles between different armies and factions. In 1918, after the proclamation of the Ukrainian People’s Republic, it was proposed to rename Yekaterinoslav to Sicheslav, which was supposed to remind of the Cossack history of this region (The Zaporozhian Sich). In total, from 1917 to 1919, the power in the city changed more than a dozen times. On January 1, 1920, Yekaterinoslav became part of the Ukrainian SSR.

Dnipro in Soviet Ukraine

In 1926, Yekaterinoslav was renamed Dnepropetrovsk in honor of Grigory Petrovsky (1878-1958), a prominent Bolshevik and a Ukrainian Soviet politician. During the first Soviet five-year plans, Dnepropetrovsk became the main base of the metallurgical industry in the south of the USSR. From 1926 to 1939, the city’s population nearly doubled to over half a million.

On August 25, 1941, during World War II, Dnepropetrovsk was occupied by German troops. On October 25, 1943, the city was liberated by the Red Army. After the war, the city was restored and again became one of the most important industrial and scientific centers of the USSR. Already in 1945, almost all the factories evacuated to the east resumed production.

The largest Soviet enterprise in the rocket and space industry was opened in this city - the Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant and the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau. In 1966, an automobile bridge across the Dnieper was built in the central part of Dnepropetrovsk, the longest bridge across this river at that time. Mass housing construction began in the 1960s. By the end of the 1970s, the population of Dnipro exceeded 1 million residents. It was decided to build a subway in the city.

Until 1987, Dnepropetrovsk was a city closed to foreigners because of its military-industrial complex enterprises. Due to the crisis that began in the late 1980s, the development of the city slowed down, and the population began to decline.

Dnipro in independent Ukraine

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the city’s industry began to decline, roads, housing and communal services, and urban transport were in a deplorable state. The construction of the subway almost stopped. In the early 2000s, Dnipropetrovsk began to get out of the crisis: new apartment buildings, shopping and entertainment centers were built.

In 2007-2011, Dnipropetrovsk was one of the four Ukrainian cities that were supposed to host the 2012 European Football Championship. However, due to a number of reasons, the right to host tournament matches was transferred to Kharkiv.

On October 4, 2012, the opening of the “Interpipe-Steel” plant took place - the largest investment project ($700 million) over the years of Ukraine’s independence and the first metallurgical plant built from scratch in Ukraine over the past 40 years.

On May 19, 2016, by a resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the city was renamed from Dnipropetrovsk to Dnipro. The decision was made as part of the process of decommunization in Ukraine.

Dnipro - Features

Dnipro is located in the steppe zone in the eastern part of Ukraine, in the middle reaches of the Dnieper at the confluence of the Samara River. It is the fourth most populous city in Ukraine after Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa. In 1776-1796 and 1802-1926, it was called Yekaterinoslav, in 1796-1802 - Novorossiysk, and in 1926-2016 - Dnepropetrovsk.

This city has a humid continental climate. The coldest month is January with an average temperature of minus 3.6 degrees Celsius, the hottest month is July with an average temperature of plus 22.1 degrees Celsius. Due to the geographical position of the city in the valley, as well as significant motorization of the population, Dnipro suffers from atmospheric pollution, manifested in the form of smog. The smog season lasts approximately from May to October.

Dnipro is one of the largest industrial and economic centers of the country, the center of Ukrainian metallurgy. Ferrous metallurgy, metalworking and mechanical engineering, as well as rocket science are especially developed here. This city was one of the key centers of the defense and space industry of the USSR. Dnipro is unofficially the business capital of Ukraine. Many Ukrainian millionaires and billionaires live in this city or were born here.

It is an important railway junction. The Donbass-Western Ukraine, Kyiv-Crimea, Odesa-Mykolaiv-Kherson-Moscow routes pass through this city. Dnipro International Airport offers regular flights to Kyiv. Public transport is represented by trams, trolleybuses, buses, mini-buses, as well as the metro.

The City Day of Dnipro is celebrated on the second Saturday of September. On this day, festive events are held throughout the city: sports competitions, festivals, exhibitions, concerts, fairs, etc. Traditionally, the festivities end on the embankment with fireworks.

Three silver seven-pointed stars depicted in the upper part of the coat of arms of Dnipro symbolize the spray of metal, as metallurgy is the main industry of this city. Stars are also a symbol of space and reflect the rocket industry, which actively developed in Dnipro in the 20th century and made it the space capital of Ukraine. The stars are arranged in the form of the Latin “V”, which means “Victoris” - Victory. The combination of crossed silver saber and arrow has historical roots. This symbolism was common among the Cossacks.

Main Attractions of Dnipro

Understand [ edit ]

Dnipro is an industrial centre of Ukraine that was a hub for the Soviet military industry. As such, no foreigners were allowed to visit without official permission until the 1990s. As an industrial centre still, it suffers from heavy pollution issues, but is generally well maintained and provides an interesting insight into real working life in Ukraine. Like other Ukrainian cities, the choice of name has assumed political connotations since the Russian invasion of Ukraine; most Westerners use the official name "Dnipro", but Russian media and supporters of Russia still use the Soviet-era name "Dnepropetrovsk".

Geography [ edit ]

The city is built mainly upon the both banks of the Dnieper, at its confluence with the Samara River. The area the city is built on is mainly devoid of hills and other geographical features. Being mainly flat, the land is easy to use, which explains why the city has been able to grow to such a great extent over the past 200 years. Whilst most residential, commercial, and industrial districts of the city are along the less marshy south bank of the river, some residential, commercial, and industrial areas have developed on the previously less-hospitable northern bank. Subdivisions : Amur-Nyzhnodniprovskyi, Shevchenkivskyi Sobornyi, Industrialnyi, Tsentralnyi, Chechelivskyi, Novokodatskyi, Samarskyi.

Climate [ edit ]

During the summer , Dnipro is very warm (average day temperature in July is 24 to 28 °C (75 to 82 °F), even hot sometimes 32 to 36 °C (90 to 97 °F). Temperatures as high as 36 °C (97 °F) have been recorded in May. Winter is not so cold (average day temperature in January is −4 to 0 °C (25 to 32 °F) but when there is no snow and the wind blows hard, it feels extremely cold. A mix of snow and rain happens usually in December. The best time for visiting the city is in late spring — late April and May and early in autumn: September and October, when the city's trees turn yellow. Other times are mainly dry with a few showers.

Drink [ edit ]

Though there are few quality drinking spots, some do exist. The best would be Reporter on Prospekt Dmytra Yavornytskoho - a couple blocks past the town square. The second would be Master Schmidt , which has some live music and is a bit more alternative (on Schmidt Street about 3 or 4 blocks up from Prospekt Dmytra Yavornytskoho). For more of a club scene there is Labyrinth and Berlin (inquire locally for the exact location). And if you choose to be really adventurous, you can attempt a Metro Party - getting off at each of the 5 metro stops and drinking a drink. Lastly, for more of a local scene you can simply have a drink on the street-- by the river which is a quite nice walk or just in the city center. This is the custom known as drinking " na lavochke ".

Be wary of groups of drunken people roaming around. Be careful drinking on the street at night because although the number has decreased since the 1990s, Gopniks still exist in Dnipro. They are people that enjoy drinking and fighting and little else and will not hesitate to fight you.
