Travelling
Where to visit in Ukraine?
I hope to visit Ukraine soon but I'm wondering which city would be best for a first time visitor?
I was originally thinking Kiev or Odessa but now I'm wondering about Lviv. I'd like to see "touristy" things and I like exploring historic sights. I've been doing my research but there is so much in Ukraine that I'd like to do/see! I'll probably only be able to stay for a week. Of course I'll be at a major disadvantage since I don't know Russian or Ukrainian. π
Meeting a contact here before my trip isn't going so well so I'm planning on exploring alone. π But that's ok, I love adventures!
So any help/advice on deciding where to go for my first trip would be appreciated!
Thank you for the link Tatiana. I will give it a read once I find a good translator! π

Thank you Tatiana! I will fund the trip myself. I have some vacation time from my work and I would like to visit Russia or Ukraine. I think Ukraine will be easier because I just need my passport and not a visa.
I would love to meet you or your daughter and help with her English but I don't want to make you or her uncomfortable. I will only be able to visit for 5 to 7 days. I would like to visit the tourist attractions, meet some locals, and try to experience as much of Ukraine as I can!
Can you write the last part of your message again? The translator does not make any sense. π
Thank you again, Tatiana!
To begin, select the Lviv. Strolling through the city center I see a lot of happy campers photographed at every turn.
Β British edition for tourists The Rough Guide published rating of the ten cities of the world, which is recommended to visit in 2014. Fifth place went to Ukrainian Lviv . Compilers list noted the beauty of the city with its " East-West fusion of styles of architecture ." And also recalled that in the Carpathian Mountains , near Lviv , going to develop winter tourism, and that the Lions claim to host the Winter Olympics in 2022 . " Our advice - go there quickly , otherwise then have to stand in long queues at the ski lift " - advises edition .
Thank you for your post, Ulyana! Lviv sounds very nice and I have been reading a lot about the city and the sights.
I wish I had enough time to explore ALL of Ukraine because it looks like such a beautiful country filled with great people. I hope this trip will be the first of many. π
Thank you for the link, Iryna! Very helpful, especially the map with all the attractions!
