                                                          ~CHERNIVTSI~


After giving a long break (6 months) cause of being in the army...now I am ready for writing new parts of my world trippin's...

As you clearly remember I finished to write about my Odesa memories and now I would like to share with you about an another great city where is near to Romania-Ukraine border.

Chernivtsi is located in the historic region of Bukovina shared between Romania (south) and Ukraine (north). Imagine a city where is surrounded by forests and fields only (like many cities and towns in Ukraine…another reason to go to Ukraine by the way) this is Chernivtsi and the famous The River Prut passes through the city.

Bukovina is a historical region in Central Europe and divided between Romania and Ukraine. Even when I first arrived there, I felt this historical atmosphere. We were listening Bukovina’s histories by our historian when we took history courses and now I had a chance to see what really happened and how happened by my own eyes.

We started our explorin’ by the street of The Chernivtsi  National University (Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University).

A typical Soviet monument 

Actually I and my friends planned to go The Chernivtsi National University directly but in every minute we were finding something different especially about architecture. Then we realized that we were hungry and we went to a very nice pizza restaurant which has a very interesting name; Allegro. We also understood that the inside of the restaurant was also so attractive. About pizzas? Belissima J I strongly suggest everyone go to this restaurant if you would like to explore Chernivtsi.

And after a very nice meal, we came to The Chernivtsi National University. The architectural ensemble of the university is included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site so you probably got why we wanted to visit there first of all J

The Chernivtsi National University

The Czech architect Josef Hlavka designed in 1875 and the buildings where the house of the Chernivtsi State University originally the Romanesque and Byzantine architecture. When we entered to the university I got shocked in and was really hard for me coming back to reality. I am not exaggerating what I saw or how I felt but it was like a movie platoo of Harry Potter…

I just would like to leave you with these awesome photos which have been taken by me;








This city is not famous by the excellent view of The Chernivtsi National University but also famous with Chernivtsi Theater. It was built in 1905 and has a very beautiful garden in front of it.

Briefly it was so nice to explore such a city where was dubbed “Little Vienna”, “European Alexandria” and for sure the city where was Mila Kunis born :)
