Volodymyrska Gorka is a cozy place in the heart of the city with old pavilions offering picturesque views of Dnypro and its left bank. The place is often referred to as "inspiration Mecca", as many poets, writers and painters, such as Anna Akhmatova, Taras Shevchenko, Volodymyr Mayakovsiy and Mykhailo Bulgakov, commemorated it in their works.

The bronze monument to Prince Volodymyr, who baptized Russia in 988, is the major attraction of the area. The 4,5 meters high statue had been designed by sculptors Demut-Malinovsky and Clodt and took its present place in 1853. Today the bronze Prince is one of the symbols of the Ukrainian capital.
