UKRAINE is the biggest country in Europe. Ukraine is home to a host of beautiful places with a great range of tourist activities. There are vibrant cities, ancient castles, stunning countryside, diversity of landscapes and a welcoming attitude. Here are 11 places that will make you fall in love with our country. Lviv - Ukraine's cultural capital, it has the most western architecture of all the country's cities. It boasts a splendid UNESCO-protected Old Town renowned for beautiful narrow streets, magnificent churches, fascinating museums and charming atmosphere. Chernivtsi. Nicknamed Little Vienna for the rich Austro-Hungarian architectural heritage, Chernivtsi is one of the gems of western Ukraine. There's the stunning UNESCO-protected building of Chernivtsi University, romantic walks and charming Vienna-style cafes. With a history of multiculturalism and constantly changing jurisdictions, the city is one of the most interesting destinations in the country. Sofiyivsky Park in Uman - is one of the most prominent examples of European gardening design dating back to the early 19th century, Sofiyivsky Park is a unique Ukrainian natural attraction. It was founded by Polish noble Stanisław Potocki as a birthday gift to his wife Sofia. The extensive park is home to waterfalls, lakes, statues, fountains, antique grottoes and artificial ruins, and is a perfect place to enjoy a relaxing walk surrounded by natural beauty. Kyiv - Ukraine's capital, is a vibrant destination filled with golden-domed churches. Golden domes of superb churches, a long and rich history, eclectic architecture and nonstop city life make Kyiv a go-to spot for all travelers visiting Ukraine. Kyiv is one of the most prominent cities in eastern Europe and its sights include two UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kiev Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves) and St. Sophia Cathedral. Mukacheve. This charming little destination in the western Zakarpattia region has a compact old town full of Austro-Hungarian architecture overlooked by the impressive castle that stands on a nearby hill. Once one of the most important fortresses in the kingdom of Hungary, Palanok Castle is now a highlight of Ukrainian tourism. Mukacheve is also a great starting point for exploring the natural wonders of the Carpathian mountains, including Synevir Lake and picturesque Shypit waterfall. Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi. Often referred to as the City of Museums, Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi, about 50 miles southwest of Kiev, is home to no fewer than 24 venues hosting a wide variety of artifacts. Among them are the Museum of Bread, the Museum of Rushnyk (traditional Ukrainian ritual cloth), the Museum of Space and the Museum of Ukrainian National Dress. But the most impressive of them all is a large open-air Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Life exhibiting unique objects from ancient times until the beginning of the 20th century. Kharkiv. Once the capital of Ukraine and now its second the biggest city. There are enough museums and culture to make Kharkiv an interesting eastern Ukrainian destination. Freedom Square is one of the largest squares in Europe, while the Derzhprom building is one of the most famous examples of constructivist architecture. Chernihiv - is one of the oldest cities in Ukraine, and was once a prospering and important center of medieval Kievan Rus, the first East Slavic state. There are unique examples of medieval Slavic ecclesiastical architecture, and one of the oldest churches in Ukraine -- the Transfiguration Cathedral, which was completed in the 11th century and features stunning frescoes and ancient interiors. Odessa. As one of Ukraine's largest seaports and trade hubs with a beautiful historic district, Odessa has plenty of treasures waiting to be discovered. The central part of the city is packed with sights, while architecture lovers can admire the splendid palaces and unique blend of building styles.

Odessa is also famous for celebrating the Humorina Carnival, or festival of humor, each year on April 1. Uzhhorod. This little city right on the border with Slovakia has belonged to five different countries in the last 100 years. Its historical affiliations can be seen throughout Uzhhorod's central district where you'll find Czech functionalist buildings standing next to classical Hungarian mansions, or Russian Orthodox, Catholic and Greek-Catholic churches in close proximity. Uzhhorod is the vibrant hub of the Zakarpattia region and the gateway to the Carpathian mountains, easily reached from the major central European cities.

Kamianets-Podilskyi. For spectacular views and cozy old-town vibes, Kamianets-Podilskyi is worth further exploration.
