best places to visit in ukraine
Kyiv
Kyiv or Kiev is the capital and most populous city of Ukraine. It is located in north-central Ukraine along the Dnieper River.
Filled with striking Soviet architecture, monasteries, golden-domed churches, and handsome streets, this European city really packs a punch. Having faced both Russian and German occupation, it’s now distinctly Ukrainian. In fact, Kyiv had a considerable part to play in the development of both the medieval East Slavic civilization and the Ukrainian nation as we know it today. You can experience modern Kyiv at one of the many city bars, or at a sidewalk café.
Odesa
Odesa is the third most populous city and municipality in Ukraine and a major seaport and transport hub located in the southwest of the country.
The city has an interesting history – all of which is told through its many excellent museums. Today, Odessa is a modern city with stunning Art Nouveau architecture, pretty cafes, and gorgeous beaches. Located on the north-western shore of the Black Sea, it’s often nicknamed the ‘Pearl of the Black Sea.’ Odessa boasts a thriving nightlife scene in Arcadia, with Ibiza-comparable nightclubs, enviable shopping, and fantastic wineries. Put that all together, and you get the ultimate summer holiday destination – without overcrowded sights.
