4 Reasons to Consider Ukraine for Your Next Adventure

4 Reasons to Consider Ukraine for Your Next Adventure

Although Ukraine is the fastest growing tourist destination in Europe, it is still widely overlooked and under-served when it comes to travel. Whether you’re seeking a sightseeing tour, adrenaline filled adventure, culinary exploration, or any other type of trip, Ukraine will prove to be more exciting than you ever would have thought. So, here are 4 great reasons to give it a chance.

#1 It’s a safe destination.

Ukraine does not suffer from high violence, theft, or similar crimes any more.  Any traveler who exercises common sense (like concealing your money and staying on the roads well-traveled) is sure to have a safe and fun trip.

Safe travel to Ukraine

That news comes as a surprise to many since all most people hear about Ukraine is in reports regarding the war. It’s true that a small part of the far southeast region of Ukraine is in war with Russia. However, this zone is very small, and it does not affect the rest of the country where you will be visiting.

Just stay out of the involved areas, which would include Donetsk. Of course, you’d need a permit to visit areas around the “line of contact” where Ukrainian and Russian forces are working. So there’s no way you’ll accidentally find yourself in the wrong place.

#2 It’s an affordable destination.

Ukraine is the cheapest country in all of Europe to live and the third cheapest country in the entire world. That doesn’t mean your stay has to be rough. In fact, although you’ll find travel and accommodations to be very budget-friendly, the growing interest in tourism means there is plenty to see and do.

Even if you just hang around the “typical” tourist spots, like Kyiv (the incredible capital), you’ll find plenty to eat and keep you entertained. Other popular attractions include Odessa, the Black Sea gem, and the Carpathian mountains. Kamianets Podilskyi is a grand castle that you absolutely must visit as well. And the city of Lviv is considered one of the most beautiful in all of Europe.

Affordable travel destinations

On top of these things, many visit Chernivtsi, which is considered the hidden gem of Ukraine. On most days, you can fly directly into Chernivtsi from London for $297 return trip. Most choose to fly into the capital of Kyiv or another populous city, which you can often book for just $50.

#3 The local cuisine is delicious.

Chicken Kiev is definitely the dish that brought fame to Ukraine, but it’s far from the only thing to eat while you’re there. Also try Deruny (potato pancakes) and Vareniki (or Pierogi). Vareniki are a type of dumpling traditionally filled with cottage cheese, cherries, currant, potatoes, or meats.

Cottage cheese is actually a very popular ingredient in Ukraine. It is featured in dishes like Syrniki where it’s combined with flour, sugar, and eggs to make a light and airy fried breakfast dish. Cottage cheese is also found inside Nalisniki, where it’s combined with raisins as a filling for this crepe-like rolled pastry.
