The full-scale war has radically changed Ukraine — not only destroying it, but also reviving it in the consciousness of the world. A country that was previously perceived mainly through its history and nature has now become a symbol of resilience, freedom and humanity. That is why more and more people want to see Ukraine with their own eyes — not just as observers, but as participants in its rebirth.

Tourists, volunteers, and travellers from all over the world come to support communities, learn about the culture, and contribute to the recovery.

Read on to find out how Ukraine's image is changing, what opportunities are emerging for tourists, and how everyone can contribute to the country's revival.

How is Ukraine's image changing in the world?

In recent years, Ukraine has undergone a transformation that the world is watching with respect. From a country that few knew about, it has become an example of strength and unity. The world media is increasingly reporting not only on news from the front lines, but also on cultural events, exhibitions, films, and art residencies.

Historical monuments, museums, and theatres are being restored, international festivals are being held, and cultural centres are opening in restored cities. Ukraine is striving to return to peaceful life. This is a new cultural renaissance that is shaping the country's positive image in the world.

Useful advice for travellers! When planning your trip, be sure to take out medical insurance from Visit Ukraine — a basic or extended policy covering military risks. This is a guarantee of safety in any corner of the country.

Opportunities for tourists in Ukraine

Ukraine is opening up new routes — from the Carpathians and Podillia to the de-occupied regions, where life is being revived. This allows you to participate in social or volunteer initiatives: helping communities, restoring cultural spaces, and supporting local businesses.

Thanks to the initiatives of the Visit Ukraine portal, you can choose different formats for supporting Ukraine:

– Author's tours of Ukraine, which introduce you to the culture, history and people.

– Individual routes through de-occupied cities, which help to support the economy of the regions.

– Visit Ukraine merchandise, part of the profits from which go to humanitarian initiatives.

Travelling around Ukraine today is not only about the scenery, but also about being part of a great history of renewal. Tourism has become a form of mutual assistance, with every tourist supporting the country.

By the way! For the convenience of tourists, the Visit Ukraine portal offers transport tickets to Ukraine and between European cities, as well as hotel and apartment reservations. Fast, clear and all in one service.

Practical tips for tourists travelling to Ukraine in 2025

When planning a trip to Ukraine in 2025, it is worth following a few safety rules.

First, choose proven routes and services. Before travelling, check the latest information on safe regions and entry conditions.

Second, use convenient services to choose comfortable transport for travelling to Ukraine. On the Visit Ukraine portal, you can book a convenient transfer from abroad to Ukraine and back, as well as rent a comfortable car.

Third, make sure you have reliable insurance and, preferably, extended medical coverage.

The Visit Ukraine portal offers medical insurance with coverage for war risks. Such a policy provides access to medical care even in emergencies related to war, evacuation or injuries during shelling.

Taking out such a policy is a simple step that can save lives.

How can you contribute to Ukraine's development while travelling?

Today, travelling in Ukraine means contributing to its revival. Volunteering has become part of the new tourism — travellers can help restore communities, cultural projects or natural parks.

You can also support the country through conscious choices with the help of Visit Ukraine initiatives — buy Ukrainian Visit Ukraine merchandise, stay in local hotels, use the services of local guides, visit events, exhibitions, and farms.

And if you want to combine travel with a good cause, choose individual tours of de-occupied cities from the Visit Ukraine portal. This way, you can see the real Ukraine and directly support its development.

Ethical tourism is not about sacrifice, but about reciprocity: by travelling, you gain experience and at the same time help the country become stronger.
