Festivales y Eventos

kyiv, the capital, is an epicenter of history and spirituality with its golden-domed monasteries. Lviv, in the west, is an open-air museum of Central European architecture. Odessa, on the coast, combines an imperial feel with a unique port character. And Chernihiv, one of the oldest cities, is home to churches dating back to the time of Kievan Rus'.

The Carpathian Mountains are the perfect destination for nature lovers. They offer extensive networks of trails, traditional Hutsul villages, peaks such as Hoverla (the highest in the country) and ski resorts such as Bukovel. The primary beech forests of the Carpathians are a World Heritage Site.

Western Ukraine is dotted with impressive fortresses. The Kamianets-Podilskyi fortress, in a rocky canyon, is one of the most spectacular in Europe. Khotyn Castle, on the banks of the Dniester River, has been the scene of numerous historical battles.

Explore the Spiritual Heart of kyiv

Visit the St. Sophia Cathedral complex, with its impressive 11th-century mosaics, and the kyiv Caves Monastery (Kyivo-Pechersk Lavra), a vast monastic complex with a labyrinth of underground caves where mummified monks rest. Both sites are World Heritage Sites and the center of the Orthodox faith in Ukraine.

Getting lost in the streets of Lviv

Walking through the historic center of Lviv, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is like entering a Central European fairy tale. Its cobblestone streets, hidden patios, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, and countless themed cafes create a unique and bohemian atmosphere, unlike any other city in the country.

Walk through the Carpathian Mountains

Discover the natural beauty of the Carpathian Mountains, the green lung of Ukraine. The region is ideal for hiking in summer and skiing in winter. Here you can learn about the culture of the Hutsules, an ethnic group with their own traditions, crafts and music, and enjoy spectacular mountain landscapes.

Live a Traditional Festival

Participate in ancestral festivities such as Ivan Kupala (summer solstice), where young men jump over bonfires and girls throw flower crowns into the rivers. Or experience Malanka, a New Year's carnival with costumes and theatrical performances to scare away evil spirits, especially vibrant in the Chernivtsi region.

Learn the Art of 'Pysanka'

'Pysanka' is a Ukrainian tradition of decorating eggs with beeswax and natural dyes, creating intricate designs loaded with symbolism. Participating in a workshop to learn this ancient technique is a wonderful way to connect with one of the most representative and beautiful artistic expressions of Ukrainian culture.

Receiving guests with 'Bread and Salt' (Khlib i Sil)

Hospitality is a cornerstone of Ukrainian culture. The tradition of welcoming guests with a loaf of bread on an embroidered cloth ('rushnyk') and a salt shaker is a symbol of friendship, respect and good wishes. To experience this welcome is to understand the generosity and warmth of the Ukrainian people.

Important Travel Notice

Due to the large-scale invasion by Russia, traveling to Ukraine is extremely dangerous. Most governments advise against any type of travel to the country. The airspace is closed to commercial flights and there is a constant risk of attacks throughout the territory. This guide is offered in the hope of a peaceful future.

Internal Transportation

In peacetime, Ukraine has an extensive and inexpensive rail network that connects the entire country, with night trains being an excellent option for long distances. 'Marshrutkas' (minibuses) and buses cover shorter, local routes.

Language

The official language is Ukrainian. Russian is also widely spoken, especially in the east and south of the country. In big cities and among younger people, English is increasingly common, but in rural areas it can be difficult to communicate without knowledge of Ukrainian or Russian.
