Halych

One of the oldest cities in Ukraine, the center of the Galicia-Volhynian principality — Halych, which spread across the picturesque hills of the Dnister River. The first chronicle mention of the city dates to 898. By the 10th century, Halych was part of Kyivan Rus. However, from the 11th century it became part of the Galicia-Volhynian principality. Despite numerous Mongol-Tatar attacks, the city was continually rebuilt, and its difficult fate was remembered by contemporaries only through the remains of its defensive structures.

Modern Halych is a cozy and welcoming city known for its beautiful nature and historical sights. The Karaite History and Culture Museum offers the chance to learn more about the way of life of followers of Judaism. To immerse yourself in the historical events of the 17th century, there is an open-air museum where an authentic settlement of ordinary peasants from Opillia, Pokuttia, Hutsulshchyna and Boikivshchyna has been recreated. And in the very center of Halych, you can stroll through the streets or see the pride of Halych residents — the Church of the Nativity of Christ.

Halych is one of Ukraine's remarkable cities; it inspires with its magical atmosphere, enchants with its beauty, and leaves every guest with an irresistible desire to come here again.
