Kyiv is where we live and most of this site is about it, but some places are worth the drive. These are the ones outside the city we have been to ourselves.

Olesko Castle on its hill above the surrounding farmland

Olesko Castle

A 13th century castle on a 50 metre hill an hour from Lviv, with restored interiors and grounds full of sculpture. You will see it from the motorway long before you reach it.
Dubno Castle seen from the approach road

Dubno Castle

The self-proclaimed seventh wonder of Ukraine, sitting just off the motorway west. Worth an hour or two if you are driving to Lviv.
