Must-Try!

Boiled dumplings with potato, cheese, cabbage or cherry fillings — commonly found in family restaurants and market stalls.

Cabbage rolls stuffed with rice and meat or mushrooms — a classic homemade dish available in eateries focusing on traditional fare.

Local bakeries sell fresh rolls, pies and sweet buns that make convenient snacks while exploring the town.

The town market is the best place to try local seasonal produce, cheeses, pickles, baked goods and quick snacks like pierogi or fresh pastries from small vendors.

Small street stalls near transport hubs often sell coffee, pastries and packaged snacks — handy for travelers catching a train or bus.

Use a firm handshake for introductions; a brief greeting in Ukrainian or Russian is appreciated by locals.

Show respect to older people and use formal address until invited to be informal; modest dress is appropriate in public and religious sites.

If invited to a home, bringing a small gift (sweets, flowers) is customary and remove shoes if hosts indicate to do so.

Ask permission before photographing people, especially inside religious sites or at memorials.

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory; in restaurants a 5–10% tip or rounding up is common for good service. Small tips for taxi drivers, hotel porters and guides are welcomed.

Cash in Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH) is widely used, especially in markets and small shops; many restaurants and larger stores accept bank cards, but always carry some cash for rural purchases. ATMs are available but not as frequent as in major cities.

Warm to hot weather with long daylight hours; ideal for outdoor exploration, cycling and visiting markets. Bring sun protection and light clothing; some afternoons can be humid.

Cooler temperatures and colorful fields; harvest time makes markets lively with produce. Layers are advisable as mornings and evenings cool down.

Cold and occasionally snowy — temperatures can drop below freezing and some rural roads may be icy. Town services continue but be prepared for shorter daylight and heavier clothing.

Mild weather, blooming landscapes and muddy rural tracks after thaw; a good season for birdwatching and seeing agricultural activity resume.
