Despite the challenging times, western Ukraine continues to fascinate travellers with its unique beauty and hospitality. This region, far from the war zone, has become a real magnet for tourists from all over the world who want to experience authentic Ukrainian culture. Here, life goes on as usual: there are cosy cafes, colourful festivals, and friendly locals are always happy to share their traditions with visitors.


Read on to find out which regions of Ukraine are safe for tourists to visit and how to organise a safe trip to Ukraine.


Why Western Ukraine?


Safety is a priority for every traveller. Due to its geographical location, Western Ukraine remains the most popular choice among tourists.

Visit Ukraine also has a huge number of safe tours to the most beautiful parts of Ukraine.

Western Ukraine: a kaleidoscope of impressions


Western Ukraine is a place where every day can turn into a new and exciting adventure. Here, history comes to life in the majestic walls of medieval castles, where local guides tell legends of noble knights and beautiful ladies. Ancient cathedrals impress with magnificent iconostases and unique frescoes, and the cosy streets of historic cities invite you to plunge into the atmosphere of past centuries.


Nature has prepared special gifts for outdoor enthusiasts. In summer, the Carpathian trails attract tourists to picturesque meadows where they can meet the sunrise among the majestic mountains and feel true freedom. In winter, snow-covered slopes turn into a paradise for skiers and snowboarders. Mysterious caves invite you into underground labyrinths, and crystal-clear mountain lakes provide a cool refreshment on a hot day.


A gastronomic journey through western Ukraine is a separate adventure. Here you can taste authentic dishes prepared according to old recipes: fragrant Hutsul mushrooms, homemade Carpathian cheeses, traditional dumplings and banosh. Local winemakers are happy to hold tastings of unique wines made using ancient technologies, and masterclasses on cooking traditional dishes allow you to learn the secrets of Carpathian cuisine.


Getting to know the living traditions of the region is of particular value. You can join masterclasses in Easter egg painting, weaving or pottery, learn to play the trembita, and take part in traditional celebrations and festivals. And the hospitable owners of rural estates will be happy to tell you about local customs and teach you folk songs.
