Ukraine is not one of the classic travel destinations for Germans. However, the largest country of the former USSR is certainly an interesting place to visit. Ukraine has hot summers and cold winters, so spring and autumn are the ideal times to travel. The most beautiful part of Ukraine is undoubtedly the Crimean Peninsula, with its mild climate and especially lovely vegetation. The seaside resort of Yalta is particularly popular, as it also boasts several special attractions and beautiful parks. Here on the Black Sea, the climate is similar to that of the Mediterranean, making May to October an ideal time for a holiday. Yalta is also home to a beautiful palace, caves and waterfalls, and offers an excellent range of restaurants. The resort was first developed for tourism around 150 years ago, and its surroundings are also ideal for long hikes and excursions. The city of Kyiv has numerous attractions too, and parts of it are even UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Another highlight of Ukraine is the city of Odesa, right on the Black Sea. Along with the world’s second-largest opera house, the Potemkin Stairs are especially worth seeing. The soil in Ukraine is very fertile, so agriculture is practiced across large areas. Extensive areas are also covered by forests, making the beautiful countryside ideal for hiking. Here you can find important news from Ukraine.
