30+ Places to Visit in Ukraine Spotted by Locals

in #nature9 years ago (edited)

Why Ukraine?

Proximity
Traveling by plane will be the cheapest and most convenient way. Most of the European capitals have direct flights to Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv, and Kharkiv.
If you don’t feel like flying, trains are at your disposal. There are daily direct overnight trains from Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Warsaw, Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest, Bucharest and Sofia to Lviv or Kyiv. An interesting fact – if you travel by train you get a unique chance to watch the bogie exchange since European track gauge differs from Ukrainian one.
Good news for those who travel by bus is that you don’t need to wait in a queue to pass border control since there is a special line.
If you travel from Varna (Bulgaria), Batumi, Poti (Georgia) or Istambul (Turkey), you can buy a ticket to get to Odesa by ferry.
So, plane, train, car or even ship – choose whatever you like.

Affordability
Hryvnia (local currency) has depreciated significantly since 2013 – the currency rate is about three times lower, which makes local prices ridiculously cheap for foreign tourists. Living in a hotel on the main street of Kyiv will cost you around $60, and the price of a cup of coffee is only $1-2.

Diversity
Ukraine is one of the best places to “celebrate diversity”.
Why not take a few days off and enjoy posh nightclubs on the Odesa seaside or calmness of emerald forests in Carpathian mountains? Or maybe you are fond of Stalker game, and post-apocalyptic landscape of Chornobyl is what you are looking for? Ukrainian attractions will suit every taste and budget.
