Did you know unlike Russia, a Visa is not required to the Ukraine?

For USA, Canada, Japan, EU Nations, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Vatican, Iceland, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Mongolia, Lithuania and the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (except Turkmenistan).

This questions comes-up quite frequently. US Citizens can stay in the Ukraine for up to 90 days. If you plan on a longer stay, only then is a Visa required.

A passport valid for six months beyond the planned date of travel is a requirement.

The experience of just being in Russia is great, and visiting Moscow normally leaves travelers truly impressed.  The city's architecture and history are fascinating.  A special Hidden Treasure is a pedestrian bridge leading to Tretyakovski Art Gallery.  There are metal trees "planted" on it that are covered with thousands of padlocks placed there by newlyweds, showing their names and the date of there marriage.  A truly romantic idea, permanently locked away this beautiful city.

Discover the places you’ve always longed to see. Marvel at each country’s historic icons and scenic panoramas.  England, Ireland and Northern Ireland, while home to perhaps the most trend-setting and international of European cities, also have some of the most beautiful countryside on earth.  In Italy, you can see more than 2,000 years of history within one city, witness the genius of Michelangelo and DaVinci or visit an enchanting island city that defies reason.  France shares with us the pleasures of life: excellent wines, awe-inspiring art and sumptuous food. Germany zooms ahead along its Autobahn, but stops long enough to raise a stein, sing a song and welcome the world.  The Netherlands, with one wooden shoe in its charming past and the other in the innovative future, continues to enchant visitors with its iconic windmills, tulips and canals.

The iconic St. Basil's candy-topped cupolas and dreamlike architecture stand as the signature of Russia's capital city of Moscow. St. Petersburg is Russia's artistic capital and its rigid symmetry is captured by classical architecture, including the magnificent Hermitage Museum and Winter Palace.
