54. Kharkiv, Ukraine

Kharkiv sadly ranks as the lowest city out of the 54 researched in this process, and the ongoing war in Ukraine with the resulting destruction has only worsened its status. Despite this, there are still some significant sights when travel to the second-largest city in Ukraine becomes safe again: the Maxim Gorky Central Park for Culture and Recreation, Freedom Square, the Mirror Stream Fountain, and the Annunciation Cathedral.
