Découvrez les meilleurs endroits pour voyager en hiver en Ukraine
Winter Ukraine is a combination of cosy towns, authentic traditions, hot thermal pools and incredible natural locations. Even in the cold season, there are many places where you can relax on a budget but in an atmospheric setting.
Where to go in winter and which locations are definitely worth your attention — we will tell you more in this article.
Thermal waters of Berehove and Kosyno
Transcarpathian thermal complexes in winter are a real relaxation salvation. Berehove has a famous thermal pool with mineral water, the temperature of which allows you to swim even in frosty weather. In Kosyno, there is a modern complex with geothermal pools, royal saunas, and unique features such as coffee- or wine-shaped jacuzzi fountains.
This type of vacation is suitable for both relaxation and health improvement, as the water in the region is rich in minerals and has healing properties.
By the way, you can visit thermal locations on the ‘Aqua Entertainment of Transcarpathia’ or ‘Relaxation Tour: Thermal Transcarpathia’ tours from Visit Ukraine. This is a great option for a winter trip.
Chernivtsi and Kamianets-Podilskyi
Chernivtsi looks especially festive in winter: the Residence of the Metropolitans of Bukovina, Kobylianska Street, ancient squares and European architecture create the atmosphere of a small Vienna. Kamianets-Podilskyi offers unforgettable emotions thanks to its mighty fortress above the Smotrytsky Canyon and the historic streets of the Old Town.
In January, traditional Malanka festivals are held here in Vashkivtsi and Krasnoilsk, which have long been a tourist attraction in Bukovina.
In addition, Chernivtsi and Kamianets-Podilskyi can be visited on the rich winter route ‘Chernivtsi, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Malanka celebrations in Vashkivtsi and Krasnoilsk’ from Visit Ukraine — an ideal option for those who want to see authentic Ukrainian traditions.
Lake Synevyr
Winter Synevyr is silence, snow on the peaks, crystal clear air and a panorama that is hard to tear yourself away from. The highest mountain lake in the Carpathians in winter looks like a fairy-tale illustration: wooden bridges, crunchy snow and fog over the water create an incredible atmosphere. Nearby, there is also a brown bear rehabilitation centre and several observation points offering magnificent views.
By the way, this location is best explored on the ‘Lake Synevyr, bears, mountains and more’ tour. It is a comfortable option for a physically easy but very atmospheric winter holiday.

Uzhhorod
In winter, Uzhhorod retains its warmth and cosiness. The old town, Austrian architecture, embankments along the Uzh River, Mukachevo Castle nearby, mini-sculptures and the smallest zoo in Ukraine create the feeling of a small winter Europe. In winter, it is quiet here, without crowds of tourists, and Transcarpathian cuisine makes the trip even more enjoyable.

The most convenient way to explore the city is with a local guide. This is possible with the ‘Sightseeing Tour of Uzhhorod’ tour from Visit Ukraine.
Slavske and Tustan
Slavske is one of the most popular winter ski resorts in Ukraine. There are slopes for beginners and experienced skiers, equipment rentals, cable cars, and cosy guesthouses. Nearby is the historical rock complex of Tustan, which looks completely different in winter: snow on the rocks, fog between the peaks, and atmospheric Carpathian landscapes.
You can visit these locations on the ‘Slavske + Tustan’ tour from Visit Ukraine. This is the best option for those who want both active recreation and beautiful locations for photos.
Poltava and Dykanka
Poltava in winter is classic Ukrainian colour: a historic centre, cosy cafes and landscapes familiar from Gogol's works. And in Dykanka, Christmas traditions are especially noticeable — this is where the action of ‘Evenings on a Farm Near Dykanka’ takes place, so the atmosphere of winter holidays in this region is special. You can stroll through local estates, visit Gogol's memorable places and immerse yourself in the authenticity of Poltava region.
