Did I feel safe? Mostly yes, but with caution. Air raid alerts happen, and you need to stay updated. People go on with life, but the war is still real. I felt safe during the day in central areas, especially with locals around. Things to do / skip: Do: – Walk around Podil, Andriyivskyy Descent, and Mariinsky Park – Visit St. Sophia’s Cathedral and Kyiv Pechersk Lavra – Check out local bookshops and cozy cafés – Try a banya (Ukrainian sauna) for a unique experience Skip: – Expensive tourist...

People are very friendly, they helped us almost for free. The food was delicious, the views were damn good, and we didn't need a big budget because we were just relaxing rather than looking for activities. There were problems with transportation, because these are mountains, but the locals saved the races here.

The main danger in my city right now is russian missile and drone attacks. There are some districts that get shelled more often than others, but overall it's a quite unpredictable thing, so it's better to make sure you have a shelter nearby anyways! Please also note that there's a curfew going on every day, so you're not allowed on the streets since 00:00 (12 PM) to 05:00 AM, unless there's an emergency, of course

Ivano-Frankivsk is quite safe, but it is worth avoiding some neighborhoods (especially Pasichna or Kaskad) at night. Some places are not well-lit and can feel quite scary (especially when some drinking crowds gather there).
