Ukraine is the largest country in Europe by territory (with the exception of Russia, which is partially located in Asia). Ukraine is one of Europe's last genuine travel frontiers, with diverse landscapes, rich history, colorful cultural traditions, and friendly, warm-hearted people.
Kyiv, Lviv and Odesa are traditionally considered the main tourist centers, but this does not mean that there is nothing to do or see in other cities, it's just that they are less known in the world and are still waiting to be discovered by the mainstream tourists.
Currently, while the war continues, we do not advise traveling around the country unless absolutely necessary. Still, the Ukraine Guide App will help you virtually explore the country and prepare for future travels.
With Ukraine Guide, getting to know Ukrainian cities will be simple and exciting. Forget printed guides, tourist maps, and brochures. All you need is an Android or Apple smartphone and the UkraineGuide app, which can be downloaded quickly and for free. With the help of this application, you will become your own guide, and you will be able to experience new cities like a local resident. UkraineGuide will introduce you to the most popular landmarks in the selected city, open lesser-known but interesting locations, and help you find attractions in the vicinity.
1. Constantly updated content.
We live in a dynamic world where our surroundings are constantly changing. Traditional printed guidebooks may still be well-written and informative, yet outdated by the time of your travel. The content of the UkraineGuide application is continuously updated and expanded, and if someone sees an error or inaccuracy, we quickly correct everything.
2. Ease of use
Books and brochures can be inconvenient when traveling and you hardly want to carry them with you all the time. Printed maps are not as heavy as books and can be folded down to a small size, but just imagine having to unfold the map every time to determine your next destination. And the smartphone is already always with you. You can say that it already has a digital map (or maybe more than one)... Of course it does, but those maps won't give you advice on where to go and what to see first. You can ask this question to a search engine, but do you have time to do this while traveling? The expert team of Ukraine Guide App has already done the work for you and collected useful information in the middle of the application, where you can quickly find answers to common questions: Where to go? What to see? What to do? What and where to taste?
3. A way to save money
Everyone knows that traveling can take a big toll on your budget, and there are always temptations to spend money on while traveling. The Ukraine Guide application is and will remain free of charge and contains a lot of useful information. Even if you want to learn about a city and purchase paid content, its price will be lower than any printed guidebook of comparable content. And virtual and audio tours in the application are many times cheaper than an individual tour with a guide.
4. Freedom of choice.
The services of a private guide are often quite expensive, but if this is your choice, then the application will help you with that as well. In the "What to do" section, you will find a selection of the best excursions from local guides offering their services at an adequate market price. And it's these professional local experts who help us create virtual audio tours that you can purchase in the app for a fraction of the price of an individual guided tour. In addition, all audio tours have a free abbreviated version that you can watch and listen to before purchasing the full tour.
5. Independence from circumstances.
So this point is again about freedom, but in a different aspect. Even if you prefer guided tours, their schedule may not coincide with yours. And there are also flight delays, bad weather, and other circumstances... With the Ukraine Guide application, you choose your own schedule that is convenient for you and change it as you wish. Independence is another fantastic reason to download and use Ukraine Guide over a regular guide. UkraineGuide allows you to explore any place you visit at your own pace. You don't need to rush around the city without having time to see anything in order to keep up with your guide. Stop whenever and wherever you want, take coffee breaks or something, and run if you're in a hurry. Ukraine Guide will not complain and will not ask for additional payment for time. You can walk around the city alone or with a company, and you can start the tour on one day and continue on another. And if you missed, missed, or forgot something, you can read or listen again.
6. A way to avoid unwanted contacts and maintain social distancing
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many people around the world and forced them to change their habits. If you want to travel, but want to minimize contacts with strangers, then Ukraine Guide will help with this. You can avoid group tours in a bunch of strangers, because your personal guide is always with you and you can go for a walk around the city early in the morning, or even at night, when there are few people on the streets. And in case of unwanted travel restrictions, the application will allow you to travel virtually, watching photos and videos, and listening to audio tours remotely, like audio books with pictures.
7. Recommendations of local experts + your personal preferences and wishes = pleasant travel experiences.
When traveling in an unknown city, it is very difficult to decide where to start getting acquainted. What is considered interesting for the majority is not necessarily so for you, and watching everything in a row can take a lot of time and spoil the impression. The Ukraine Guide application will help you with this as well. Brief but informative descriptions of locations and photos will allow you to quickly decide what to visit and what to skip. You can mark your preferences right in the application and hide everything unnecessary. Also, you can mark already visited locations and see on the map whether only those that remain to be seen are on the list. Or maybe the main attraction of the city needs more time to get to know what you have? And this question is also answered in the application. In the "What to do" section, you can easily see the recommended duration of your visit and decide what to do.
