Uzhhorod
Located near the border with Slovakia, Uzhgorod has played musical chairs with five different countries before actually becoming a Ukrainian city. Today it’s at the center of the Transcarpathia province that seems to be politically oriented towards Europe.
If you’d ever get the chance to see this city, your first stop should be Uzhgorod Castle. It’s full of various museums, where you can learn a lot about its history and take a walk through the park that surrounds the castle.
But in the city itself, you would wander along the cobblestone streets exploring, and sit and relax near the Uzh River’s banks. But, of course, Uzhgorod is just a great starting point, where you can spend a day or two before heading to one of the countless hidden mountain resorts in the Transcarpathia region.
So, what do you think? Would you ever consider visiting this country in the future? Assuming this war ended as soon as possible, the Ukrainian culture is one you should definitely experience at least once in this lifetime!
