Those who like to collect impressions at foreign locations have the opportunity to save a little money and visit the "twins" of world tourist attractions without leaving Ukraine. Whether it's a copy or ours, you can find out on the spot, but the experience will be invariably amazing. Discover Ukraine this fall weekend and share the locations with your fans on social media.

Ukrainian Jerusalem - Zarvanytsia

You don't have to fly to Israel to see Jerusalem, just visit Ternopil. This is where Zarvanytsia is located. This complex of buildings is almost an architectural copy of the famous holy site of Israel. You can touch the Holy Sepulcher and walk the Stairs of Repentance, see the Lion's Gate and the Tower of David, all without leaving your native Ukraine.

The holy place is filled with peace and energy of prayers, people come here for renewed hope, strengthening in faith, and spiritual balance, which is worth reminding ourselves of more often. The location is interesting as an architectural monument, as a holy place, and as an exceptional experience

Black Lake in Montenegro - Lake Synevyr in the Carpathians

Lake Synevyr is one of the most beautiful and mystical lakes in Ukraine. If you dream of traveling to Montenegro and its Black Lake, visit Transcarpathia in the late fall or winter.

The beauty of the picturesque nature that envelops Lake Synevyr is breathtaking, and not only because of the frosty crystal clear air. Snow-capped mountains, centuries-old fir trees, blue skies and a feeling of boundless space will conquer your heart and soul and make you want to come back.

Burghausen Castle and Palanok Castle in Mukachevo

Real architectural twins. Two castles, one in Germany and the other in Ukraine, have little difference from the outside. But, just like the twins, the characteristic difference is the interior. Stone fortresses keep personal secrets of the history of famous figures, legends and artifacts.

You may want to visit the German version first, but we have an advantage. On the territory of Palanok Castle, there is a statue of Fyodor Koryatovich and, according to legend, it grants wishes.

The atmosphere of Japan and the Kyoto Garden in Kyiv

Connoisseurs of Japanese culture can immerse themselves in it by visiting Kyoto Park in Kyiv. Mid-spring fills the park with a large number of tourists, including Japanese, who want to see the longest sakura alley in Europe with their own eyes. The atmosphere and color will fill your life with delicate colors.

Autumn is no less attractive and adds a bit of Ukrainian charm to the Japanese center. The traditional rock garden in its golden autumnal attire is a separate experience.

Another city full of Japanese atmosphere and colors in spring is Uzhhorod with its cherry blossom alley. You can connect your phone to headphones and watch anime in the original voice acting to immerse yourself in the atmosphere even deeper, while improving your Japanese.

Pamukkale and the "dead sea" in Kalush

It may seem that you are in the middle of eternal snow, but you can taste it - it's not snow at all. This snow-white picture is the result of potassium and magnesium salt mining in Ivano-Frankivsk region.

The color of the water in the flooded Dombrovsky quarry in Kalush is slightly different, but you will enjoy the chemical composition of the snow-white formations and the views no less than in Turkey.

Orscholz in Germany and Zalischyky in Ternopil region

Apparently, nature has its own secret stamps that it likes to repeat. Somewhere in Germany, the Saar River has turned almost 360 degrees and formed an almost island that is visited by many tourists. In Ukraine, the mighty Dniester River repeated the trick and formed Zalishchyky, which is gaining popularity as a tourist destination.

Zalishchyky can be a great location for your next vacation, because in addition to amazing landscapes, there are many interesting things to do and see here. The town is beautiful and interesting both architecturally and in terms of content.

Krzhyzhyk fountains and the floating fountain of Vinnytsia

If you want to see one of the most beautiful fountains in the world, you should go to Vinnytsia. The floating fountain with its light and music show is an unforgettable experience that foreign tourists are also hunting for.

A little spoiler: if you want to see a large-scale amazing show of not only light and water, but also Ukrainian music, plan your trip for the opening of the season in spring. Although Vinnytsia's fountain is compared to the singing Krzyzyk fountains in Prague, there are no analogues to the Vinnytsia water spectacle.

Romantic lake in Japan and a lake in Chernihiv region

Another proof that nature can repeat its masterpieces like a virtuoso artist. The romantic lake in the village of Oleshnya in Chernihiv region has the same heart shape as a body of water in Japan.

It will also be much easier to get to our Oleshnya, as the paths to the lake are already trodden by couples in love. The road to the remote island of Hokkaido in Japan will take some work.
