The largest country in Europe, Ukraine offers visitors vibrant cities, excellent hiking opportunities, friendly locals and top-notch cuisine. 

Both Kyiv and Lviv boast all of the amenities that you would expect from any major European city but at a fraction of the cost. By touring Ukraine's churches and public buildings, art lovers and history buffs get a rare glimpse into Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical architecture, sculpture and painting. 

Runners can combine training with sightseeing in Kyiv’s Khreschatyk and Mariyinsky Parks. The lively street cafes, hip university crowd and decadent chocolate make Lviv the ideal jumping-off point for hiking and skiing trips to the Carpathian Mountains. From the beaches of the Black Sea to its legendary all-night parties, Odesa has much to offer visitors, including the city’s famous Opera House. Despite the country’s continuing struggles with Russia, Ukraine is one of Europe’s safest countries to visit. Conflicts are confined to the eastern border of the country, many hours away from Ukraine’s major tourist destinations. 

You may want to book your Ukraine marathon soon. Tourists are beginning to find out about this Eastern European gem, and travelers will want to see Ukraine before the hoards of tourists get there.
