When autumn descends on Ukrainian cities with its misty haze, it's time to embark on a journey where legends come to life and history whispers from beneath the earth. Halloween is a holiday of costumes and pumpkins, and a wonderful opportunity to see Ukraine from a different, mystical side.

During this mystical time of year, Visit Ukraine invites you on a journey through underground passages, old castles, and mysterious places where every stone has its own story.

Underground Khreshchatyk: secrets beneath the heart of the capital

Kyiv hides many stories, but one of the most interesting ones is underground. Beneath the capital's central street, where thousands of people pass every day, flows a real underground river. It is a witness to ancient events, quietly preserving the memory of princes, fires, floods and Soviet experiments. A tour of underground Khreshchatyk is a journey into a parallel world: dark tunnels, water whispering its stories, and a mystical feeling that time has long since stopped here. They say that only the bravest can hear the voice of the ancient city if they stop and listen carefully to the sound of the underground stream.

Lviv's underground: alchemy, ghosts and the aroma of coffee

Lviv is a city that smells of coffee during the day and legends at night. Beneath its cobblestones lies another world — the underground of monasteries, pharmacies and Jesuit churches. Here, in the darkness, the stories of medieval alchemists, monks, and perhaps even lost souls still live on. A tour of Lviv's underground passages is an encounter with the Gothic beauty of the old city, where every step is like a page from a novel.

The underground passages of the Dominican monastery open their doors to the 13th century — Prince Lev's palace once stood here. And in the Pharmacy Museum, among retro cabinets and glass flasks, you can smell the scents of ancient elixirs and hear stories about the search for the philosopher's stone. The underground museum of the Town Hall is a new gem of Lviv, combining ancient walls with a modern multimedia space. And all this — with a cup of aromatic Lviv coffee after the tour, as a reward for your courage to plunge into the darkness.

Castles of Ternopil Region: ghosts of the nobility and the romance of history

If you are looking for a mystical atmosphere, go where history is frozen in stone. The castles of Ternopil region are places where the nights are thick as vintage wine and the wind whispers of love and betrayal. Zbarazh Castle, majestic and imbued with the spirit of chivalry, still echoes with the battles of the 17th century. In the Vyshnevetsky Palace, where Shevchenko once stayed, you can feel the breath of the aristocratic era. And from Mount Bona, towering above Kremenets, a view opens up that makes your heart skip a beat — no wonder the locals call this place enchanted.

When the moon rises over the lake in Ternopil, it seems as if the castles come to life — ghostly lights flash in the windows, and somewhere in the shadows, you can hear the footsteps of the past. The perfect setting for Halloween, right?
