The 5 reasons to go to Ukraine!
 A very welcoming population, magnificent historical cities and exceptional natural areas - welcome to Ukraine

Because Ukraine is not what you think!
 If we base our image of Ukraine on wars, riots and Chernobyl, it is no wonder that it is not among the preferred destinations of travelers. However, sometimes appearances can be deceiving, because Ukraine has nothing to do with such prejudices. Between its magnificent nature, its rich history and the warmth of the local population, it is best that you see it with your own eyes and discover the innumerable attractions of this destination on the edge of Europe.

Get acquainted with a totally different culture
Surely there will be something that surprises you as soon as you arrive in Ukraine: Cyrillic! Indeed, when moving from Central Europe to Ukraine, the first change you will notice is the alphabet, which also changes when crossing the border. However, apart from these graphological trifles, you will have a whole new culture to discover in Ukraine, a country that is still deeply rural and marked by the importance of ancient traditions. A good way to get acquainted with a different culture in a relaxing environment.

Understand the complexity of the Ukrainian conflict
As of this writing, Ukraine is still plagued by a bloody conflict between pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian forces. However, this war is often described too simplistically, between Russian-speaking Russians on the one hand and Ukrainian-speaking Ukrainians on the other. If you go there and talk to the local population, you will be able to realize the complexity of the situation, especially in terms of regional, historical and socio-cultural differences, which are frequently silenced and are not limited at all to simple language or ethnic origin . Even so, we recommend that you stay away from combat zones, in the east of the country.

To see Lviv
Without doubt the most beautiful city in the country, the poetic Lviv stands out in western Ukraine like an unpolished gemstone. Unlike its central European counterparts such as Prague or Krakow, Lviv has yet to be deformed and molded into a major tourist destination. For this reason, if you walk there right now, you will be able to discover its streets, testimony to the wealth of past centuries, made more authentic by that sensation of slight urban decrepitude that accentuates the air of lost glory that the city gives off. It is a must visit destination during a trip to Ukraine.

Discover the Slavic spirit and local hospitality
It may seem like a cliché, but before leaving for Ukraine, be prepared to drink large amounts of alcohol. Sample of local hospitality, it will be difficult for you to spend a night (especially in rural areas) without your neighbor at the table, the bar manager or someone you have met during the day, indulge you with a lot of shots of alcohol, which does not you can reject without offending them. Get ready for the legendary hangover the next day! With food, it will be the same: your host will offer you portions four times larger than reasonable and you will have to eat them patiently.
