Ukraine it was very little known before its Orange revolution, and a holiday in Ukraine will captivate you forever. Flights to Ukraine are under 3 hours and once there, it is very inexpensive. Ukraine is capable of surprising even the most well-travelled visitor with its uniqueness and generous Slavic charm.

 

Kyiv (Kiev) it's Capital, is a large modern city but still very inviting for a weekend or short break with a lot of history and interesting places to visit. The Maidan (Independent) Square and its surroundings is an excellent place to wonder and the numerous churches, parks and monuments will please even the most difficult visitor. The underground shopping centre in Maidan square is excellent and buzzing.

 

Lviv is a well hidden marvel in west Ukraine. It is a living museum of Western architecture from the Gothic to the present. The old narrow cobbled streets and colourful historic core make it one of the best places in the country to visit. Its wonderful buildings and architecture compare and fare probably better than Vienna and Prague.
