The Waste Museum in Kiev

Located on the outskirts of Kiev, the Waste Museum is seldom included in tours of Ukraine’s capital city, nor is it often found on most tourism guides, but it is a fascinating place to visit nonetheless. As is the case with the majority of museums, the Waste Museum focuses on history, but in a most unusual way considering that all the exhibits have been rescued from the garbage dump.

Besarabsky Market : The Heart of Daily Life in Kiev

It is early morning in Kiev, Ukraine. The crisp morning air that surrounds the people walking towards the Besarabsky Square, makes them look like human trains, as their breath leaves puffs of “smoke” trailing behind their quickened pace. A few greetings are exchanged as friends and locals who have been working alongside each other for years all head in the same direction. They have so much to do before the day is much older. Unpack their stock, clean their stores and get ready for the doors of the Besarabsky Market to open at eight o’clock sharp.

Traveling By Train – A Great Way to Explore Ukraine

There is so much to see and do in the fascinating country of Ukraine, that visitors may find it difficult to decide on an itinerary.

Railway travel in Ukraine is very reliable, comfortable, safe and relatively inexpensive, and in addition to linking all major destinations in Ukraine and its neighboring countries, the railroad network passes through many charming towns and villages which are well worth seeing.

Balaklava : A City of Secrets

The city of Balaklava is located in Crimea, Ukraine, and was once a small fishing village, near Sevastopol. It went from being a quaint inconspicuous village, to an ideal tactical location during the war and the Soviet period, to an independent city, that officially became part of the Sevastopol district in 1957. The quiet bay with its treacherous rocks are not the only attractions in Balaklava, as it is what is hidden under the rocks that makes visiting Balaklava a very fascinating and historically interesting destination.
