Chernivtsi Travel Forum

Hello,

We are planning Kiev - Chernivtsi trip this fall. Flying to Kiev from New York, staying in Kiev for 3 days and then would like to take a train to Chernivtsi and stay there for couple of days.
I have couple of questions and would really appreciate if somebody can give me couple of tips.

1. What hotel would you recommend in Chernivstsy.
2. Are there trains from Kiev to Chernivsy and from Chernivtsy to Kiev? What are the fairs? Can I purchase tickets from New York for the trains? If train making a stop in Moldova, would we need a visa?

I know it's a lot of questions. But I would really appreciate if you can help me out.

Thanks a lot!!!!!

We have just had a great time travelling in the Ukraine and found a great apartment on the Virtual Tourist website. We stayed mostly in Chernivtsi and found a great apartment with an English speaking owner who gave us a local map, a tour of the city and information about all of the most interesting places to visit. The people are amazing - so welcoming and generous. So if you like us want to go somewhere completey different - go to Chernivtsi and see the beautiful Carpathian Mountains, taste fantastic organic food and experience a slower and more natural daily life. Visit WWW.tastukraine.com if you want information about the apartment we stayed in.

Hello,
I am flying into Bucharest on May 3rd. In Ukraine I'm going to Lviv and Chernivtsi. Does anyone know how to get to Chernivtsi from Romania? Is it possible to take a train from Chernivtsi to Lviv, or just a bus. Thanks!

When looking on the Chernivitsi website (www.city.cv.ua/English), in the Sport and Tourism section, there is a list of tourist Routes. I think this would be what we call in America, a guided tour. One of the tours is called "Shalom, Chernivitsi". If there is anyone who knows where I might get more information on this tour, please let me know.
Thank you

I've read that the Chermosh is not a great place to stay. I've heard that the Bukovina is better. Do you agree? Any other hotels you can recommend?

Thanks

HI,

Here in the USA, we like to carry small bottles of water to drink during the day. Are these available in Chernivitsi, and are they safe.

Thanks

Does anyone know anything about researching Vital records in Chernivitsi? My mother was born there in 1908. My grandparents were married there around 1903, and I believe my great-grandparents lived there till they died around the time of the first world war.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi All!

I would like to come to know the carpathian moutains in Ukraina. I and some of my friends from Hungary want to ride bike over the mountains.

I would get some opinion about the trip, what could be dangerous, what is the situation in the country. I heart a lot of (scuttlebutt ) legend, but i want to know the truth.

Thank you for your help
