Ukraine: Updates & Travel
Travel in Ukraine?
- Ukraine is a country with a long history, old cities and beautiful beaches on the Black Sea. Furthermore, the (largely protected) landscape of Ukraine is still untouched with many forests and swamps.
- Wine tasting in Crimea is a must-do in Ukraine. The vineyards of the area produce good quality wine, which you can taste on site quite cheaply.
- A visit to a theater or opera in Lviv is a great experience. You will find several theaters in Lviv and especially the Opera House of Ivan Franko, which is one of the most beautiful theaters in Europe, is well worth a visit.
- The locals in Kiev swim in the Dnieper in Kiev in the summer and in the winter everyone goes on the ice to fish in the holes.
- Hiking tours are beautiful through the nature of the Carpathians. Recommended in both spring and summer.
- Skiing and snowboarding is possible in the Carpathians in the winter. The major ski resorts are Bukovel, Slavsko, Drahobrat and Tysovets.
- Cycling is becoming increasingly popular in Ukraine. Although the streets in the cities are not particularly bike-friendly, there are several parks and forests in and around Kiev where you can cycle fantastically and you can also make beautiful bike rides in the countryside. Do take a few weeks for a cycling holiday because it is often underestimated how incredibly large Ukraine is.
- Odessa was originally the city of intellectuals, wealthy families and artists. Today it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Ukraine. It is the place for a sun and beach holiday on the Black Sea, with all the advantages of a large city full of culture and nightlife.
- A visit to Kiev will pleasantly surprise many people. Buildings in this city date back to the 11th century and Kiev is full of local art and architecture. All around you you see gilded arches and domes of cathedrals and monasteries. An impressive and pleasant street to walk through is the Andreevsky Spusk, one of the oldest streets in Kiev.
- A city with lots of greenery and beautiful surroundings, that is Sevastopol. There is a lot to see in this city in the field of naval history, among other things. A boat trip through the harbor to see the Russian and Ukrainian naval ships is therefore an absolute must.
- Yalta gained its fame through the 'Yalta Conference'. At the end of the Second World War, post-war Europe was divided during this 'Peace in the World' conference. The town is located on the Crimean peninsula, in the south of Ukraine. In Yalta you can visit one palace after another without it becoming boring. The Lividia Palace, the Alpuka Palace and the Massandra Palace are all impressive in different ways.
- Explore Lviv, the city that is located in the foothills of the picturesque Carpathians and one of the oldest and most remarkable cities in Europe. Well worth seeing in Lviv are: the Market Square, the National Museum, the History Museum, the Art Gallery, the Museum of Ethnography and Crafts and the Pharmaceutical Museum.
- Be prepared that hotels and hostels in Ukraine are known for having water that is either very hot or very cold. Try the water beforehand before you burn alive.
- Wild camping is allowed in many places in Ukraine, but is not encouraged because of the risk of being robbed.
- Street crime is common, especially in the big cities. Keep your valuables safe and never carry large amounts of money.
- Try to stay away from protesting crowds. The atmosphere can change quickly.
