One of the most beautiful cities in Europe with many cultures and nationalities enriching each other.

The city's main attraction is the architectural marvel of Chernivtsi University. This former complex of buildings of the residence of Orthodox metropolitans of Bukovyna and Dalmatia (1864-1882), is now listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO. The complex of buildings combines Mauritania, Byzantine, Roman, and Hutsul styles. Genius architect J. Hlavka has integrated a variety of styles to create these beautiful structures.

Chernivtsi offers many interesting and exciting places for every guest.

Not every village in Ukraine can boast of two fantastic churches with the same name. The older one is the stone defensive Saint Ilia Church (1560), with a belfry and hidden cupolas. It is a perfect example of a house type Bukovyna church. It’s “sister” Saint Ilia church (1914) is one of the most beautiful churches in our country. It looks like a castle with towers. Emperor Franz Joseph donated part of the money to building the church. As an expression of gratitude parishioners carved a magnificent throne for him and it is still kept in this majestic church.

The former town of Sadhora, is now part of Chernivtsi. Here a currency production facility (mint) was founded by Baron Gartenberg. It is also famous because the famous Hasad prophet Israel Fridman lived and preached here. Here you will also find a renovated Synagogue (1842) in Mauritania style and a Palace of Sadagur Rabbis that have been here since early times.
