Weekend tours in Ukraine

Weekend in Ukraine is a great choice to discover the country, see its most interesting sights, visit a festival, get a gorgeous nature relax and taste delicious cuisine.

The territory of Ukraine stretches for 1,316 km from west to east. Due to such distances, the cities of the country are not alike. Each of them has its own character, attractions and traditions. We recommend you to spend your weekend in one or two cities. Thus, you’ll have enough time to feel their unique atmosphere.

• Poltava. Visit the largest Ukrainian festival, Sorochinsky Fair. See the unique military history museum with samples of the 18th century military uniform. Master the pottery and try the famous national dish, Poltava galushki.
• Kharkiv. The second largest, after the capital, city of Ukraine, will impress you with its huge main square which is up to 750 meters long. You’ll love its theaters and noble estates, a beautiful arboretum and a 600-year-old oak tree.
• Odessa. It’s a city on the Black Sea coast, where you can sunbathe (in summer) or enjoy sea views (in winter), wander through the labyrinths of the world’s longest catacombs, taste wines and brandies, or just walk along the beautiful streets.
• Lviv. Ancient cathedrals, medieval castles, hundreds of sculptures and monuments made Lviv the most tourist city in Ukraine. Besides, it’s a paradise for gourmets with hundreds of cafes and restaurants where they come up with unique recipes and drinks, competing for something to surprise tourists.

Eat, pray, rest

Another good idea is to order a themed weekend tour in Ukraine. For example, you can visit a festival, choose active outdoor activities such as kayaking or tank driving, make a culinary pilgrimage to the most delicious restaurants or get away from civilization and spend a weekend on the fabulously beautiful uninhabited Dzharylgach Island.
