Summer
Ukrainian summer is usually rather hot, so water and nature will be the right choice. Thus, a Dnieper River Cruise on the riverboat is a great way to see Kiev and its suburbs.

Autumn
Autumn in Ukraine is very diverse. It may astonish you with the richest colors of the Old Wives’ summer or bring you the gloomy mood of rainy grey November. Warm September days are the best for exiting multi-day tours where you can see Ukraine’s most beautiful cities not dying from the heat. The charming sadness of nature and its wildest color range await you on the Wildlife tours in Ukraine. Or go on a romantic Weekend in Kamianets-Podilskyi to visit the most romantic Ukrainian castle, get fascinating views of the Dnister River and see the grand cave with a lyrical Crystal name. You may prefer insightful Heritage tours or get the adrenalin rush on Military Tours. And when the leaves fall down and the world seems abandoned and heavy-hearted, it’s high time to get the impression of your life on a Weekend in Chernobyl.
Let us resume with the quote of Henry David Thoreau: “Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” So embrace the current season of your life in Ukraine.
