It should also be said about tourists traveling to other regions to visit many monuments of cultural heritage, of which there are a huge number in the Carpathians. By the way, any traveler who has come to study historical monuments should not refuse to visit the ancient castles: Nevitsky, “Palanka” in Mukachev, the citadel in Uzhgorod.

“Palanok” is a very ancient architectural monument. Currently, there are no more than 5 such in Europe.

Also, travelers should definitely visit the former residence of the Metropolitans of Bukovina – the Basilian Monastery of St. Onufriy. Actually, such is the whole complex of construction structures here, which is considered the highlight of Chernivtsi. At that time, its construction was a grand event for most residents of the surrounding areas, as well as the city itself. There are several faculties of Chernivtsi National University, which may also be interesting to guests. It should be noted that the monastery with its centuries-old history has experienced quite a lot of shocks: the Polish occupation of 1905, the events of the First and Second World Wars, illegal actions of NKVD officers in the middle of the twentieth century, which led to the deliberate destruction of this cultural monument, and then to its closure. Only in 1992 it was returned to its first owners, and since that time various construction works have been carried out here to reconstruct this monumental structure.

They will be able to relax here qualitatively, taking into account the individuality of desires and preferences.
