Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. Ukraine is also second largest country in terms of area in Europe. Ukraine borders Russia and many other European countries. So visitors from these two countries among many others are big in numbers every year. Ukraine has a very long history too. From early Mongol conquest to Russia's hold until 1991, Ukraine saw it all. But today Ukraine is thriving despite political and volatile relations with Russia. So what is important from a tourist's point of view about Ukraine? Well of course there are certain places in the Ukraine which are delight for everyone. But what makes Ukraine even more lucrative is the fact that traveling in Ukraine costs much lower than other European countries. Also Ukraine offers visa free access to many European countries people and from 2005 citizens of European Union and EFTA, USA, Canada, Japan and South Korea no longer require a visa to visit Ukraine for tourism purposes. Also, no visa has been required for citizens of Russia, and other CIS countries except Turkmenistan. Apart from this Ukraine cuisine has a long history and has wide varieties of dishes to offer.
So what you can see in Ukraine? First comes Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine. Kyiv is quite a scenic city. The bustling city Kyiv also preserves its arts and culture which are like world treasures.
