What is beautiful about Ukraine?

Dreaming of a good holiday, we often recall Instagram photos of the coastlines of the Maldives, the unique Eiffel Tower in Paris, or the picturesque mountain landscapes of Switzerland. But not all Ukrainians realize that no less interesting and beautiful places exist in Ukraine too. So what makes our incredible Ukraine so attractive, which places and views can bring surprise and joy that we live on Ukrainian land?

Flower valleys

It is no secret that the country of tulips is Holland, but in Ukraine there are no less flower-filled places:

• The Daffodil Valley in Khust. In the Zakarpattia town of Khust, from 1 to 20 May, one of the protected areas turns into a snow-white blanket of flowers.

• Sofiivka Park in Uman fills with the scent of roses every year. At the beginning of summer, about 5000 rose bushes bloom here.
• The Lavender Grove in the village of Poradivka, Vasylkiv district, will give you the chance to take unique Provence-style photos in a lilac field of lavender.
• The Ukrainian Holland is the name of the arboretum in Kropyvnytskyi, which from mid-April is covered with carpets of flowers. Daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, muscari — a variety of flowers that create enchanting compositions.
• Mini-Holland is the name given to the tulip field in Kherson region, near the settlement of Lyubymivka. Every year the field grows in size. So do not miss the chance to see the vivid colors of spring flowers blooming from the second half of April.

Ancient castles and palaces

In Ukraine there are not only impressive modern buildings, villages with thatched roofs, but also amazing castles of past centuries:

• Oleshkiv Castle in Lviv region;
• Kamianets-Podilskyi Fortress-Castle in the city of the same name;
• Popov Castle (Tavriiskyi Estate) in Zaporizhzhia region;
• Radomysl Castle in Zhytomyr region;
• Liubartas Castle in Lutsk;
• Richard's Castle in Kyiv.

When you enter such castles, you cannot help feeling like a witness to medieval times, imagining yourself somewhere on the outskirts of old England.

Ukraine — a kaleidoscope of the world

In our beautiful Ukraine there are many wonderful places, which resemble places abroad:

• Lake Synevyr fascinates with its mirror-like surface; it is often compared with Alpine lakes surrounded by mountains and tall trees.
• The spring streets of Uzhhorod will remind you of a corner of Japan, where in spring the streets are filled with the lush blossom of sakura.
• Yushkova Yama in Lviv region, formed by a rocky complex, fascinates the eye just as much as Troll's Tongue, a rocky outcrop on Mt. Skjeggedal.
• The town of Zalishchyky in Ternopil region is famous for its island-like location. The Dnister River flows around the town, giving it a resemblance to Germany.
• Plebaniv Viaduct is one of the most beautiful architectural monuments, reminiscent of the Scottish viaduct used for filming a Harry Potter movie.
• The Vinnytsia fountain is one of the largest in Ukraine and Europe. In its beauty and spectacle it resembles, and is in no way inferior to, the fountain in Prague.
• The beauty of our nature is created to inspire and intensify romantic feelings. A vivid example is the heart-shaped lake near the village of Oleshnia in Chernihiv region. A lake of a similar shape is located in Japan.
• The Pink Lake on Arabat Spit is as beautiful and pink as Lake Retba, which is located in Senegal.
• If you want to see endless expanses of sand, then you should go to Kherson region. Here are located Oleshky Sands, which resemble a part of the mighty Sahara.
