Ukraine holds centuries of significant history and culture, from Kyiv's golden-domed monasteries to Lviv's café-lined old town. However, Ukraine has been in a state of active war since 2022, and ordinary tourism is not realistically possible or advisable across large parts of the country at this time. This entry describes Ukraine's heritage for reference, but is not travel guidance — check your government's current official travel advisory, which very likely advises against all travel to Ukraine at present, before considering any visit.
