4 places worth visiting in Transcarpathia or how to organize a tour to the exotic part of Ukraine independently

April 29 – May 4, 2018 I will remember as a wonderful recreation in the most exotic part of Ukraine – in Transcarpathia. Once I’ve already visited Uzhhorod before – on one of my previous trips. It was then that I noticed that the atmosphere in this city is very unusual. Although Uzhhorod is located on the territory of Ukraine, but it seemed to me that I have got in a foreign country.

Unfortunately, I do not have many options for short journeys, given my place of residence. Only Kiev or Kharkov are suitable for going on a trip, to see something interesting and to return home in one day.

I chose Kiev, namely the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine (Open Air Museum in Pyrohiv), and went there…
