Welcome to
Ukraine
Big, diverse and largely undiscovered, Ukraine is one of Europes last genuine travel frontiers, a poor nation rich in colourful tradition, warm-hearted people and off-the-map experiences.
Ukraine is big. In fact its Europes biggest country (not counting Russia, which isnt entirely in Europe) and packs a lot of diversity into its borders. You can be clambering around the Carpathians in search of Hutsul festivities, sipping Eastern Europes best coffee in sophisticated Lviv and partying on a subtropical Crimean beach all in a few days. Ukrainians are also a diverse crowd; from the wired sophisticates of Kyivs business quarters to the Donbas miner, the Crimean Tatar cook and the Hungarian-speaking bus drivers of Uzhhorod, few countries boast such a mixed population.
Despite their often glum reticence and initial distrust of strangers, the Euro 2012 football championships proved what travellers to the country have known for years that Ukrainians are, when given the chance, one of Europes most open and hospitable people. Break down that reserve and youll soon be slurping borshch in someones Soviet-era kitchen, listening to a fellow train passengers life story or being taken on an impromptu tour of a towns sights by the guy you asked for directions.
A diverse landscape obviously throws up a whole bunch of outdoorsy activities. How about cave exploring, hiking or beach fun in Crimea, mountain biking or hill walking in the Carpathians, bird spotting in the Danube Delta or water sports on the Kyiv Sea? But if the idea of burning calories on hill and wave has you fleeing for the sofa, rest assured that most Ukrainians have never tried any of the above, but love nothing more than wandering their countrys vast forests, foraging for berries and mushrooms or picnicking by a meandering river. So why not join them?
Some claim history ended around 1989, but not in Ukraine. The country is passing through a choppy period in its post-independence story and one which is fascinating to watch (from a safe distance perhaps). History is all around you wherever you go in this vast land, whether it be among the Gothic churches of Lviv, the Stalinist facades of Kyiv, the remnants of the once-animated Jewish culture of West Ukraine or the more recent Soviet high-rises just about anywhere.

Why I Love Ukraine
By Marc Di Duca, Author
Is it the feeling of being Elsewhere but still in Europe, the bizarre Soviet legacy, the countrys raw history, the unexpected travel experiences, the openness of locals or the stories tall and true of life under postwar communism? Or is it the star-dusted, blacker-than-black nights in Myrhorod, the Nutcracker at the opera house in snow-bound Kyiv, empty churches on rainy autumn Wednesdays in Lviv, or the endless bus journeys across the steppe in the company of Gogol and Kurkov? I suppose its all the above and volumes more that have me returning to this magical Slavic hinterland time and time again.
See for much more.
Ukraines Top 15
By and large Ukraine is as flat as a topographically challenged blin (pancake), which makes its bumpy bits all the more special. Ukraines slice of the Carpathian arc barely reaches over 2000m, but its soothing wooded slopes, rough stony trails, flower-filled upland pastures and wide, snaking valleys make this prime hiking, biking and skiing territory. Needless to say, the Carpathians are home to Ukraines highest peak, Mt Hoverla, a fairly easy trek from nearby villages, as well as several ski resorts.
