Novomyrhorod, located in the Kirovohrad Oblast, is a city with a significant history tied to the 18th-century establishment of New Serbia, a military frontier of the Russian Empire. The city was founded as one of the main settlements of this colony. Its architecture and layout still partially reflect this military past. Today, Novomyrhorod is a quiet administrative center for the surrounding raion, with an economy heavily based on agriculture. Key sights include the St. Nicholas Cathedral, a prominent religious building. The city is situated on the Velyka Vys river, which provides a scenic backdrop for walks. The local culture is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Gastronomy is based on simple yet tasty local produce, typical of Ukrainian cuisine, with dishes like borsch and varenyky. Getting to Novomyrhorod is typically by road from Kropyvnytskyi, the regional center, which is about 80 kilometers away. The best time to visit is during the late spring and summer months when the weather is pleasant and the surrounding landscape is lush and green. A visit has an authentic glimpse into life in a small Ukrainian town, away from the major metropolises.
