Amber capital of Ukraine
About this tour
The amber capital of Ukraine is the city of Rivne. The city is green, well-kept, modern, and cosy, and during its turbulent history, it was the capital of Ukraine three times! The first mention of Rivne dates back to 1283. But people settled on the right bank of the Ustya River long ago. Maybe the ancient Surenzh was here? Perhaps! Legends about the amber room, amber museums, numerous shops and workshops will enchant you during the excursion.
And in addition to pleasant memories of hospitable people, you will bring back "trophies" from your trip: jewellery, handmade souvenirs with amber inlay, colourful panels and paintings, amber "Ivan-tea" or hoppy "Bergschlöss", and if you like it, the legendary " Amber" or "Treat yourself" sweets.
