6 Unforgettable Places in Chernivtsi, Ukraine

3. City Hall

This astonishing monument was built in the 19^th century and became the market square’s precious decoration. Chernivtsi’s city hall is, undoubtedly, one of the most distinguished places in the town. Proudly crowning the market square, the City Hall’s 50-meter high clock tower features a beautiful observation deck, which will offer you incredible panoramic views over the entire town.

Back in 2004, a new tradition was born in Chernivtsi: at noon (12 o’clock sharp, to be more precise) a trumpeter wearing the national costume has played Marichka (a masterpiece composed by local artist Stepan Sabadash) on all the four sides of the world, just under the City Hall’s clock tower. Now imagine what the citizens and guests crowd had the chance to listen to that day.

Almost as lucky as they were, you and I are now able to enjoy this magnificent building and capture its beauty on our photo camera. Oh, and maybe take some selfies, why not? Say “City Hall!”
