Top attractions in Ukraine

Ukraine's cities differ sharply from one another: Kyiv with its Byzantine-era churches above the Dnipro, Lviv with a central European old town shaped by Habsburg rule, and Odessa built as a port city with its own coastal character. The material here describes these places as travel destinations and does not reflect current conditions on the ground.

The guides on this page cover Kyiv, Lviv, Odessa and Ukraine overall. Since 2022 the country has been at war, and travel is subject to martial law, curfews, air-raid alerts and restrictions that change frequently. Anyone considering a trip should rely on their own government's current advisories and official Ukrainian sources rather than on any guide, including this one.
