Chernivtsi

Come for the UNESCO-listed university.Stay for the low-key vibes.

Chernivtsi is spread out along the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. One of Western Ukraine's cultural centers (along with Lviv), Chernivtsi distinguishes itself from other cities in the region with its bright personality, unique energy, and magical atmosphere. It fascinates with its eclectic architecture, rich cultural heritage, and the spider-web like labyrinth of streets and squares. Compared to Vienna and Jerusalem for its cosmopolitan nature, the city's Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans (now the residence of Chernivtsi University), is a beguiling must-see. Once you have an idea for the town, delve into the surrounding area, with its mix of preserved cultures and natural beauty, on either side of the border.

The people at JayWay Travel are very pleasant and responsive. Every aspect of the trip was planned well and taken care of. It took the stress out of trying to plan a trip in a region where I had no experience traveling.
