(Translated by Google) This is simply a pearl of the city, without exaggeration! Clean, neat, well-groomed. On the embankment, musicians play and sing, grandfathers catch fish, an ideal place for both family walks and solitude. In the evening, it is generally very fabulous (Original) Це просто перлина міста, без перебільшення! Чисто, охайно, доглянуто.

Great place to visit with family and kids. Lake and park are nice. I highly recommend taking boat ride. It would be a nice addition to your day
It looks awful. The renovation made something terrible to the building. And also that terrifying tavern built near the castle. Historical and aesthetical value of they complex almost destroyed now. Overall impression of that place is sadness.
The Ternopil Castle is a stronghold which gave birth to the city of Ternopil. It was built in the 16th century to protect the southern border of the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The castle originated as the residence of a Polish nobleman, Jan Amor Tarnowski, in 1540. Construction works (1540–1548) on the marshy bank of the Seret River were authorized by King Sigismund the Old. The castle, around which the modern town has developed, was encircled by a wooden fence and a deep moat. The latter was connected in 1548 to the castle pond (see Ternopil Pond).
Actually doesn't look like castle, so hard to recognize for the visitors, but it has an unbelievable view on a lake
Although the castle is nice, the expositions are a bit of everything. Most exhibitions have no explanations in English
The main building of the old castle Ternopil, which are numerous underground tunnels. Located near Ternopil lake. Now here is the Federation of Greco-Roman wrestling and restaurant complex "Maxim".

Good service. But there are some irrational things that made me cringe. When I asked why sewing machine is not assembled properly, they said that it looks better that way. On the second photo try to think about the sequence.
Great place to take children to during rainy day
27.8.2023 no must.A lot of soviet dust,one digit number of interesting items-which you may not foto with mobile if you didnt paid 200 UAH for a permission - compared with entry of 60 UAH looks for me like a ripoff.
I loved this place! Is amazing ❤️
Nice place but not a lot has been updated since I was a kid. Only few little things there and here. Just remember you have to pay extra to take pictures.
really good... but the innerparts are a bit dark
Four stores museum. Very nice exhibition.

(Translated by Google) This year (2021) I can't say anything good about the Topilche fountains, probably because they simply don't work. It is a shame that such a beautiful place is in such a deplorable state. (Original) Цього року (2021) нічого хорошого про фонтани Топільче сказати не можу, мабуть тому, що вони просто не працюють. Прикро, що таке красиве місце в такому плачевному стані.

Visit and get educated. This museum makes me feel sad but I'm thankful for such experience and feeling. Worth a visit. I'm surprised by how well informed the guide with history of communism in Indonesia. Bravo 👏. I wish they sell some kind of souvenir perhaps like a magnet or a pocket book.
Interesting but leaves out significant aspects of Banderas politics. The museum is presented as a place to learn about political oppression however it also heavily focuses on Stephan Bandera and has a copy of his death mask.There is no information about his beliefs he is presented as just a patriot. I didnt realise he is a complicated myth because his beliefs were more in line with antisemitism and ethnic cleansing, justified by nationalism. Wish I hadn’t left such a big tip to the guide lol
Guide was very enthusiastic and determined to educate, my Russian is very poor and so I struggled to keep up but learned a lot anyway
Unbelievable experience. I can't describe by words this place. Must see everyone who wants to give honour to Heroes of Ukraine independence.
Excellent tour of an interesting museum by a tour guide, who is a witness to the actual history. Museum could present its information in English to educate the masses. To keep this living history alive, it would be good to design an audio guide and also provide detailed explanations in English. There is a lot of history to tell.
The tour guide knows quite a lot about everything, even Belgian politics. They don't speak English if you plan to visit.
The guide was lovely and despite the tour being in Ukrainian, we caught almost everything.
I highly recommend that you visit this museum. Our guide gave a very good tour and was very well informed and interested in the material.

Great theater, very nice plays, good sound.
Surprised with the beauty of this place, as good as Odessa opera house in the matter of decoration IMHO!) Estrogen play was good, never stayed long enough to see other.
Beautiful view from the square, with a pleasent western taste.
Nice place to be in the evening or night. Can eat and drink (coffee, burgers ).. Best on the Christmas ⛄.
I liked this place, market besides, restaurants, kids amusement rides too. Best to visit during some festival.
Awesome lighting, interior, n sitting arrangements ,n stage n somuch things are very well
I would recommend visiting Ternopil theatre to enjoy excellent actors' work. The building is pretty small and cosy
interesting venue, I did not understand the play I enjoyed the experience.

Visit here annually, to tend and respect families graves. The cemetery is well visited at these times. You can learn quite a lot from places like these, starting with Tradition, Architecture, History, Family info etc. I find the place quite moving, you can see a lot here from Lavish to Humble designs.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful place, few people, old crypts and majestic monuments. (Original) Красиве місце, мало людей, старі склепи і величні пам‘ятники.
(Translated by Google) I never thought, but a cemetery can tell a lot about the history of a city. It is enough to walk through this cemetery, and especially the old part, and you can learn a lot of interesting things about those who lived here many years ago. Cobblestones are laid through the cemetery, but not everywhere. Mostly neat and tidy, old and tall trees are carefully cut. (Original) Ніколи не думав, але цвинтар може багато розказати про історію міста. Достатньо пройтися цим цвинтарем, а особливо старою частиною і можна багато дізнатися цікавого про тих хто мешкав тут багато років тому. Через цвинтар прокладено бруківку, проте не всюди. Здебільшого охайно і прибрано, обережно ріжуть старі і високі дерева.
(Translated by Google) Recently, my grandmother was buried, I have never seen such extortion, everything needs to be agreed only with the boys, no checks or receipts!!! For the burial, it means digging a hole and burying the coffin, my parents paid UAH 10,000, WHAT A PRICE!! !!When the appropriate authorities will take care of all this! It's a complete shame!!! People have grief, but they make money!🥲🥲🥲 And what to do with those people who have no money???(( (Original) Недавно поховали бабусю,такого здирництва я ще не бачила,про все потрібно домовлятися тільки з хлопцями,ніяких чеків чи квитанцій!!!За поховання,це тобто вирити яму і закопати труну,мої батьки заплатили 10000 грн,що ЦЕ ЩО ЗА ЦІНИ!!!!Коли за це все візьмуться відповідні органи!Повна ганьба!!!У людей горе,а вони наживаються!🥲🥲🥲А що робити тим людям у яких немає грошей???((

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, gothic place. I consider the cemetery the most aesthetic place in Ternopil. In the evening, when the sky is full of crows the atmosphere is simply fabulous. I advise everyone to visit (Original) Гарне, готичне місце. Вважаю цвинтар найестетичнішим місцем в Тернополі. В вечірній час, коли на небі повно круків атмосфера просто казкова. Усім раджу відвідати

Slide 1 of 8
I was a guest of the structure. Friendly, knowledgeable, attention to detail staff. The hotel rooms are elegant and comfortable, clean and modern environments. Daily cleaning and sanitizing make it an above average level. The hotel restaurant offers refined dishes of typical Ukrainian cuisine, but I was also satisfied with international cuisine. The restaurant has a refined and tasteful decor. the restaurant staff is trained and motivated to give an excellent welcome service. At the reception I found collaboration for all my needs, from useful advice to requesting services, such as a taxi service where hotel guests enjoy a certain privilege. 100% satisfied with this hotel, I recommend it for business people, for those who are foreigners like me, but also excellent for families who will find an excellent water park adjacent to the hotel. The park is equipped with attractions and games including several water slides of different heights, three different pools for both adults and children. The center is also equipped with a SPA service including sauna, massage room and a modern gym where hotel guests enjoy privilege on the price on all attractions. The staff are excellent and speak English. You will feel pleasantly pampered and spoiled .. Inside the sports complex I found some tasty burgers including "Alihator burgers" and real pizzas, which for me as an Italian made me enormous pleasure! I highly recommend even if just passing through or for a weekend! Finally, thanks to the security staff, who are vigilant 24 hours a day on the hotel's private parking and on the patrons in the common areas .. really hard to find even in hotels in Kiev or Odessa .. Maximum score worthy of a 5-star hotel stars. Thank you all
A great indoor swimming pool with slides for different age groups and abilities. The staff was friendly and helpful. Not everyone spoke English but everyone did their best to make our visit fun, enjoyable and comfortable. The evening was fairly priced and there was a good selection of food and drink on offer. The establishment uses an innovative system to check in and out and to access lockers. Definitely recommended for a great day or evening out! Hope to visit again someday soon. Five stars!
I was in town for about a week and visited this aqua park a couple times during my stay, mostly for its gym. The trainers were super friendly and even spoke English - a miracle for me! The gym itself is rather small but has everything most people will need, from free weights to benches with a variety of machines in between. I was also happily surprised with the quality of the hammam area, which seems relatively new compared to the rest. Despite a couple of signs of wear here and there - especially in the slides - I found the pools worth the price and definitely recommend visiting the place for a swim and some quality family time.
Best gym I've been to in Ukraine!
My worst hotel ever. Looks okay in the picture but very old furniture and poor. Bed and couch makes noise. The bed made noise throughout the night, I reported and Receptionist told me she cant do anything about it (cheeky). I expected something good for Junior Suite plus. But there is no difference between that and the standard. I dont recommend if you want good experience! Also, they need to change furniture, and the Tvs. They are all old fashion (1980 tv)
I'm not aware about hotel but fitness center and pool. The best yoga classes in Ternopil is here. Swimming lessons for kids are also awesome
It was nice to spend a few hours in there, on hot summer day, bu still, it's dirty (especially in the cafe) in there, and everything is rusty.
it would be nice place to stay with a family for a weekend. Or, just for one day, the only one aquapark in TE is here

Name of the stadium. Shame on you!!! Man who killed hundreds of polish people living in Ukrainie and you are proud of him? Wow.. Good to know.
The stadium is quite old school. The chairs are a bit uncomfortable to sit on after some time. It was difficult to find the sector our seats were in. Right after the game started, there were a bunch of people let in, assuming either for free or some cash to the stewards. Not cool, especially during covid restrictions when people are supposed to practice safe social distancing...

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place for children's leisure time, where through union with art, children get to know the world and gain an understanding of good and evil. In front of the theater, there is a large area with benches where children can relax while waiting for the performance, and parents can sit in the shade and eat ice cream. In the spacious lobby there are several glass aquariums and a small pond with turtles and fish, and there is also some seating. A wardrobe is also available. I add the work schedule to the photo. (Original) Чудове місце для дитячого дозвілля , де через єднання з мистецтвом діти пізнають світ та отримують розуміння про добро і зло. Перед театром велика площадку з лавочками де в очікуванні вистави малеча може погасати а батьки посидіти у тіні та з'їсти морозива. У просторому фоє розташовано декілька шкляних акваріумів та невеличкий водоєм з черепахами та рибами, також є декілька місць для сидіння. Також працює гардероб. Графік роботи додаю у фото.
