Summary

This fully updated third edition of Bradt'sUkraineguide keeps visitors up to speed with this rapidly evolving country. Covering everything from the best places for borsch to the best walks along the Black Sea alongside an in-depth exploration of Ukraine's history, culture and natural beauty this is the most comprehensive and practical guide available to a destination as yet undiscovered by the tourist crowds.
