Train Station. Usually we all strive to leave it as soon as possible and not sit on its benches for a long time. Kharkiv is the second largest city in Ukraine. The laying of the first station took place in 1868, and the first train arrived on May 22.1869. The modern station building was built in 1952 (the old building was destroyed during the Great Patriotic War). The years of construction also determined the architectural style - "Stalin's Empire". Big massive building. North and South towers are 42 meters high. The clock on the South Tower is the largest clock in Kharkiv. There are sculptural groups and stucco decorations on the portico. There is a hotel, which is located in the southern part of the station. I had to visit it and we spent the night in comfortable conditions, otherwise we would have to sit on wooden benches. A huge station, but I would not say about a sufficient number of seats.
It is now that the flow of passengers has decreased, but anyway, in the evening, a place in the waiting room still needs to be found. There is a free toilet. But it still needs to be found and it does not shine with absolute purity. Access to the platforms is only through an underground tunnel. Very beautiful station square. This is especially worth noting in the summer. Green lawns, flower beds, fountains refreshing with their coolness, additional lighting, mosaic pavement tiles, music. Many, while waiting for their train, while away the time on the benches.
