One more thing to remember. Don’t bring extra items which can easily be obtained at any store while travel to Ukraine. A light suitcase is the key to an enjoyable vacation. It is your freedom!
With a light suitcase you can concentrate on the attractions and activities of your destination instead of heavy lifting. A heavy suitcase means porters and taxicabs instead of buses. You will be tired and the first hotel you pass can become your desperate choice. Come to peace with yourself. Try to be a one-suitcase traveler.
