Western Ukraine: Chernivtsi, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, as well as Odesa and the Odesa cats. I visited these cities for the first time and was absolutely amazed by the beauty of our country and how cozy and welcoming it feels. The Carpathian Mountains, hiking up Mount Hoverla, local souvenir markets - it’s hard to put into words. It was truly incredible.

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.

Odesa
Despite the war in the country, everything is quite normal. But at noon you should be careful and attentive with your bags in crowded places because you might be pickpocketed. Nonetheless even during air alarms people move on and live, just we need to check the news and hide in the shelters if needed.

I’m really love Kyiv. My beautiful, handsome Kyiv. But as you know there war and we are being bombed every day. I’m already adapted but for travelers it can be pretty scary and unsafe. In the end we all know that we can die here but it’s my home and i love this this so much

Ukraine is an incredible country with a rich culture and breathtaking nature, though traveling here requires being mindful of safety due to the ongoing war. While major cities and the front-line regions carry risks, many parts of the country—especially the western regions like the Carpathian Mountains—offer a much calmer environment. If you decide to visit, I would definitely recommend heading to the mountains. The Carpathians are stunningly beautiful, perfect for hiking and trekking, and...

Because of war it’s really dangerous, but if talking about people overall we are really happy to see travelers! Usually at later hours Postal Square has lots of wild people (usually drunk) so be aware. Troyeshchyna is safe despite all of the memes lol I’ve lived here for 16 years, went out and came back home at night with no problems. Always take in your environment (but that’s just a basic rule)

There's a war going on in Ukraine, so... It gets worse in late autumn, winter, and early spring. I think the safest time to come is from May to August ☀️ If you need more info about Dnipro or other cities let me know

when air alert is unsafe Overall, the city is very beautiful. I've lived here my entire adult life, but unfortunately, because of the war, it's very unsafe here, especially at night. I advise you to stay in the basement when there's an air raid siren if you come to visit.
