Ukraine Tour Selection Trips
- Not all “standards” are the same everywhere. Comfort level may not be what you’re used to at home. Make sure you know what you’re going to get when you book a tour, so you don’t end up surprised. Read Ukraine Tour reviews to get a better idea of what to expect
- Distances between cities are pretty long, which can mean long train rides. If you know you need some time to recover between cities, review the itinerary carefully and look for one that suits your needs and travel desires.
- If you’re doing an overnight sleeper train, consult your tour coordinator about what sleeper options are available. You may be able to upgrade to a more private cabin, for an additional cost.
- Some tours focus on the major cities, while others offer a chance to get out and explore nature. If you’re looking to go enjoy the outdoors, consider a trip that includes a stop in the Carpathian Mountains.
- Many tours offer “regional” travel, that includes stops in other countries such as Moldova. This can be a great option to better understand the Eastern European region.
Additional details
Are Ukrainians Friendly?
Ukrainians are very friendly people! They are generally willing to help give you directions if you’re lost. In general the culture is more reserved, but don’t misinterpret that for unfriendliness. The reason for the reserved behavior could be the language barrier – not all Ukrainians know English, so it can be difficult for tourists who don’t know Cyrillic.
Is Ukraine Safe?
Ukraine is overall a safe country to visit, and should not be skipped out of fear of unsafety. Cities in Eastern Ukraine (such as Donetsk and Lugansk) have conflict, but most tours don't travel to that part of the country. As all countries have, there are some rougher portions, but overall, and especially in the bigger, popular cities (Kiev, Odessa, and Lviv), you should be safe.
The main precautions are the same as visiting any other big city; there will be beggars, pickpockets, etc, so use common sense, and the same caution that you would use in any other country, and you will be fine. Traveling with a tour group can help allieviate some of the safety concerns you may have.
Best Time to Visit Ukraine
Ukraine is a country that experiences all four seasons, so it depends on what type of weather you’re looking for. Most of Ukraine has pretty similar weather across the country.
Summers have sunny, warm days, with highs in the 70’s-low 80’s, and cooler nights dipping down into the mid 60s. Spring and Fall bring highs of 50’s, with lows in the mid-40s. There’s a mix of sunny and rainy days in these seasons, averaging around 14 days of rain.
Winters are cooler, with highs in the upper 20s and low 30s, when night temperatures drop to low 20s. The best time to visit is in from about April-October, when temperatures are still warm and there is longer days of sunshine.
Other Tips for Traveling in Ukraine
- Be sure to bring the correct adaptor to charge your electronics. Many hotels have European type sockets. Ukraine uses type C and type F plugs – both have two round pins.
- As of March 2019, Visas are not required for U.S. Citizens looking to travel to Ukraine for tourism, for those staying less than 90 days in a 180 period. The same follows for Canadian citizens, British citizens, and European citizens.
- Credit cards and debit cards are still not widely accepted in Ukraine, especially in smaller shops/cafes. It’s best to grab some of the local currency, hryvnya (UAH). The coins (kopiyok) range from 1 kopiyka to UAH1, and the notes range from UAH1-UAH500.
- In most bigger cities in Ukraine, you’ll be able to find someone who speaks English. On the outskirts, it may be a bit more difficult, but the younger generations especially have a decent understanding of English.
- It is not advised to drink the tap water in Ukraine – purchase bottled water.
- It is common to tip around 10% in bars and restaurants.
- You can sometimes find awesome deals on airfare between major Ukraine cities. As the country is very large and spread out, this is an awesome option for those who are short on time and may not have the time to travel by train between cities.
- A majority of banks are only open Monday-Friday, with a few larger banks being open on Saturday. Consider exchanging cash before hand, just in case you run into ATM issues and don’t have immediate access to a bank.
