After the catastrophic event that occurred in Chernobyl, many tourists might have been deterred from visiting the nation of Ukraine. But it’s actually the opposite. Tourism in the Ukraine is widely popular. Like most Eastern European nations, Ukraine has a variety of historic sites including numerous Medieval castles. Alongside, the nation’s capital Kiev is a popular destination that also has fantastic architectural sites. The cuisine in Ukraine is much like its neighbors and includes meats, potatoes, and pierogies. Ukraine also has its own excellent beer and vodka in addition.
