As a histirical center and one of Europe’s largest countries, Ukraine has a diverse and rich culture. Walking through the big cities of Ukraine is like walking through different time eras. In Kyiv you can see old slavic churches and monasteries, like Kiev Pechersk Lavra, one of the best excapmples of Sovjet style architecture at Kreschatik avenue, and more modern Ukrainian architecture at Maidan square. Lviv, the largest city in Western Ukraine, reminds its visitors more about Prague or Krakow with its Renaissance, Baroque, and Classicism architecture.
