Lviv as an International Tourist Destination

Ukraine’s tourist offerings once consisted of mail-order brides and visits to the remains of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Missing the tourism boat that cities like Prague, Krakow, and Budapest hopped on years ago, Ukraine was a country without potential. Oh, what a difference a few years of independence and a rich history makes, however.

Best to Learn Cultural Attitudes Before Travelling

So, you have plotted your travel map, booked your flight, and researched the sights you want to see on your trip to Ukraine. Your bag may be packed, but a crash course in Ukrainian customs and attitudes is essential. Being culturally astute and prepared will ensure a joyful trip.

On nights when the moon shines like a golden orb in the night sky, when the breeze coming off the lake grazes your face like a ghost, when a lake’s whispers sound almost human, be careful. You may not be alone. Rusalkas, the Ukrainian mermaid, formed from the bodies of girls or young women who have drowned or children died without the sacrament of baptism, may be nearby.
