Chernivtsi

The first mention of Chernivtsi dates to 1408, when Moldavian voivode O. Dobryi concluded a customs treaty with Lviv merchants. Over the years, the town has become one of the most beautiful cities in Ukraine, called the Ukrainian “Paris”, a pearl of architecture, the second capital of Ukraine. There are more than 700 architectural historical landmarks here, among which the most valuable is the former residence of the metropolitans, where students from all parts of the country now receive higher education. Churches and religious buildings are also worth attention: the Jesuit Church, the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, the Armenian Church and St Nicholas Church.

Chernivtsi is known for its cozy atmosphere. Melodies sound on the narrow streets, in summer the city is filled with the scent of flowers, and in winter it turns into a real fairy tale. Walking through the streets of Chernivtsi, be sure to take a look at its ship-house, which, according to legend, was built for a sailor who was awaited from a long sea voyage. The museums in Chernivtsi are no less interesting: the Museum of Folk Architecture, the Art Museum and the Regional Museum of Local History. They tell the story of Chernivtsi and its culture, speak about the lives of important historical figures and display valuable rare exhibits.
