the highways Rostov-Odessa-Simpheropol, it has a railway and active sea-and-river
connection.

road between Kherson and Nikolaev has been laid. Since that time everyone
who prefers traveling hearing carload wheels hammering may come to Kherson
from any corner of Ukraine, Russia or Byelorus. The town has a direct
connection with Kiev, Kharkov, Kerch, Lviv, Moscow, St.Petersburg and
many others.
Reconstructed edifice of Kherson Railway Station became the visit card
of the town. Being constructed in the 1907 it was a witness of the last
Russian emperor Nikolai II arrival. The building has received its modern
view after the II World War and became an object of proud of its citizens
being prepared to the 225 anniversary of its foundation. Due to the efforts
of the Odessa railway and city community the station was completely reconstructed.
There appeared more comfortable soft armchairs for passengers in the waiting
room.
Nowadays the station is a center of the integrated architectural ensemble
of Prevokzalnaya Square which includes a park zone, the hotel complex
“Angelina”, booths and cafes beside. Those who have got hungry during
the trip will undoubtedly estimate affinity of one of the city food markets
to station.

drivers of private taxicabs.Taking into account the amount of private
taxies Kherson maintains a competition not only to Odessa, but even Kiev.
