Chernihiv Tourism

Chernihiv, one of the oldest cities of Ukraine, is located in the north-central part of the country on the banks of the Desna River. The city is known for its beautiful churches and cathedrals, especially Catherine’s Church with its golden cupolas and the five-domed Transfiguration Cathedral. 

The beauty of the city lies in its medieval architecture that can be witnessed in all its churches, cathedrals, and monasteries. 

The ancient city has several places of attractions which tourists include in their sightseeing. On the top of the list is Dytynets(Citadel in old Russia) with its historical churches and cathedrals. The Antoniy caves and Illinska monastery, one of the largest cave monasteries in Ukraine, are another tourist hotspot. Other places worth a visit include Trinity Monastery, Tarnovsky History Museum, Kachanivka Palace, etc.   

Sightseeing is the top activity for tourists visiting Chernihiv. The evening sees many visitors taking a stroll in the pedestrian walkway on Myru Avenue. You will also love taking a stroll in the gardens of the Kachanivka Palace. Those with a love for beer would not want to miss out on tasting the famous tipple known as ‘Cherninihivske.’

Chernihiv enjoys warm but pleasant weather in the summer months of the middle of June to the end of August. The long winter season in this city is freezing, dry, and windy making it uncomfortable for sightseeing activities.
