General

by 68maciek

If you want to be a local backpacker you shoould take a train to Przemysl (an interesting place itself) , mini bus to Medyka, cross the border as pedestrian, take marshrutka to Lviv. Once I did also an interesting one long day trip by getting train from Ustrzyki Dolne to Hiriv (Chyrow in Polish) than by marshrutka to Sambir and Drohobycz (both off the beaten path but interesting cities) and Truskawiec (a bit symbolic spa for Poles and Ukrainians, but also once popular among Soviet Union citizens, not very unique for me). There are also frequent marshrutka (and train) service to Lviv from all of these cities. Return to Ukrainian Karpaty mountains is my target for a near future. There are palaces around Lviv-popular among Polish tourist, Uzhorod is an quite interesting place at Slovakian border. it belonged to six states within last 100 years. Kamieniec Podilski and Hotin (Chocim)...

Welcome the EXPO 2005 Ukrainian pavillion in Japan

by Lysenko

Ukraine’s independent participation in the international forum of this kind is an opportunity to show the world community the country’s strategy of internal and external development, to reveal its cultural and historical heritage, its contribution to the world’s science, culture and art. This is a unique chance to demonstrate its scientific, technical and educational potential, as well as some examples of solving problems common to all mankind.

Walking in Kiev

by dsmithtd

Hello Nathan,Hello Nathan,In Kiev the Kreshchatyk (downtown) is closed to traffic on Sunday. It is for pedestrians only and is a wonderful time to stroll and really get involved with Ukrainian life. The You can easily walk a couple of blocks up hill to tour St. Sophia, they have great tour guides in all languages) and also catch an Orthodox service at St. Michaels Cathedral (10:00 AM). The real culture of Ukraine is in their religion. From here its a wonderful walk along Andreveski to St Andrews Church, the Baroque church with the green dome, and the Artisan market. Most likely you will see a lot of wedding parties there for pictures and the traditional kiss. An alternative would be to take the tram behind St Michaels to the river. Its also very easy to take a taxi (in Ukraine just about everyone with a car is a taxi) bus or Metro to the Lavra. Its far better to have a guided tour from...

Vilkovo village

by Umino

This unusual township, also well known as “Ukrainian Venice”, is disposed on the banks of three mouths of the biggest river in Europe. For someone Vilkovo reminds Venice, for others it is marvelous nature side or a place of 0 km. There are some interesting facts about this tiny village at the confluence of the Danube River and the Black Sea.Vilkovo is located on the South of Odessa region and on the border with Romanian territory. The number of islands here isn’t established yet. The population of the village is about 10,000 people.Three hundreds years ago the Old Believers, persecuted after the Schism of Russian Orthodox Church, found their shelter here. In the middle of 17th century the Don Cossacks and later Cossaks from defeated Zaporizhska Sich also settled here. Vilkovo is a marvelous and colorful place, but besides, it is calm, blind and hidden spot in the Danube jungle thickets,...
