Facts about Ukraine
Ukraine is best known for its history, monuments, festivals and delicious cuisine. There are also a number of mountain ranges which are very good for skiing, hiking, fishing, and hunting. A very popular destination for tourists is the Black Sea. Tourists in the country like to take tours on ships from the Dnieper River to the Black Sea.
Tourism in Ukraine has taken a downturn recently because of the war in the country. Although in recent times, tourism has picked up, the number of visitors in the country was about 14.5 million in 2017. This shows that despite the war, it is still a top destination among tourists.
Smoking of tobacco and consumption of alcohol is highly prohibited in public places.
Random passport checks can be carried on foreigners so it is advisable that you carry your passport along with you everywhere for identification purposes.
