  Ukraine is something of an enigma for the visitor. The largest country in Europe, it remains one of the least visited, yet it has retained the rustic beauty of old-world eastern Europe, and its place names are heavy with historical significance: Kiev, Crimea, Sevastopol, Odessa, Chernobyl. This fully updated third edition of Bradt's Ukraine guide keeps visitors up to speed with this rapidly evolving country. Covering everything from the best places for borsch to the best walks along the Black Sea - alongside an in-depth exploration of Ukraine's history, culture and natural beauty - this is the most comprehensive and practical guide available to a destination as yet undiscovered by the tourist crowds.

  A travel guide to read before, during and after a trip to Ukraine, this book features comprehensive practical information, while revealing the country's personality through in-depth exploration of its history, culture and natural beauty. Traditional churches, monasteries and sacred sites provide a contrast to the notorious but compelling landmark of Chernobyl. Andrew Evans shows how Ukraine can easily be explored by rail, river cruise or sea ferry, and also on foot - the ideal way to take in the rustic villages of old-world Europe - with short walks and long-distance treks. The guide offers side trips into Moldova, Belarus and Eastern Europe, as well as a region-by-region guide to the Ukrainian provinces, including the stunning Crimean peninsula. It features detailed coverage of Kiev, the birthplace of Slavic civilization, and a cruising guide for Kiev, the Dnipr and the Black Sea. There is also a language section in Ukrainian and Russian.
