Sumy, Administrative center in northeastern Ukraine
Sumy is an administrative center in northeastern Ukraine on the banks of the Psel. The city spreads over both sides of the river and includes residential neighborhoods, educational institutions, and industrial zones.
The settlement began in 1652 as a Cossack fortress to protect the southern borders. During the Great Northern War of 1708, the fortress served as a command post for Tsar Peter the Great.
The city's name may come from three bags of money shown on the coat of arms. Trinity Cathedral and Resurrection Church still show the craftsmanship and building style of past centuries, which visitors can discover while walking through the center.
Trolleybuses and regular buses connect all parts of the city with each other and with the central railway station. Most public transport runs regularly from early morning to late evening and is well signposted.
Locals organize open-air concerts in the city park every summer, where local musicians and bands perform. These events also draw people from surrounding villages and create a relaxed meeting point under the open sky.
