Voznesenivskyi Raion is an administrative district in central Zaporizhzhia situated along the Dnieper River, blending residential neighborhoods with commercial zones. The area spans multiple urban sectors with mixed-use development and functions as a key hub for transportation and commerce.
The district was established in 1939 with a Soviet-era name before being renamed in 2016 as part of Ukraine's decommunization laws. This change reflected broader national efforts to remove Soviet influence from place names.

Public transportation serves multiple routes across the district, connecting various neighborhoods and easing movement throughout the area. Visitors should orient themselves locally, as the territory is sizable and varies in character from one sector to another.
The territory developed from a 19th-century village that served as a major storage and transport hub for the Russian Empire. This heritage continues to shape the area's role as an economic center of the city.
