The Best Tourist Village is a global UN initiative aimed at increasing public knowledge about villages that preserve culture, traditions or protect biodiversity.

Every year, the UN Tourism Agency determines a list of villages recommended for tourists. The goal of the event and the organisation as a whole is to observe and implement systematic and responsible tourism, to develop this area in order to preserve the environment and maintain economic sustainability. In 2024, 2 Ukrainian villages - Vorokhta and Urych - were included in this list for the first time. Read more in the article on Visit Ukraine.

Vorokhta in Ivano-Frankivsk region

The village of Vorokhta is located in the Nadvirna district of Ivano-Frankivsk region. It is a railway station, so it is quite easy to get there. The Kyiv-Rakhiv train runs regularly from the capital of Ukraine, arriving in Vorokhta around 5am.

The tourist potential of Vorokhta was laid down in the 1930s, when several boarding houses for wealthy tourists were built here. Since then, Ukrainians and foreigners have been coming here every year to relax, pick mushrooms, go skiing and breathe fresh mountain air.
