Yes, you can visit Ukraine during the war — but only if you understand the risks and take proper precautions. In 2025, many foreign tourists are coming to Kyiv, Lviv, and even war-affected areas like Kharkiv to witness history and support Ukraine.
Is It Safe?
It depends where you go. Kyiv and western Ukraine are relatively safe thanks to strong air defense systems and restored infrastructure. Active combat zones in the east and south are completely off-limits to tourists. We organize only secure, approved routes with experienced local guides who monitor the situation daily.

Curfew: Ukraine has a nightly curfew (currently from 00:00 to 05:00 in most regions).
Transport: Trains and buses are reliable. Air travel is suspended.

Is There a Curfew in Ukraine in 2025? [Updated May 2025]
Yes, curfews are still in place in most Ukrainian regions. The standard curfew is from 00:00 (midnight) to 05:00. This means you cannot be outside during these hours unless you have special permission.
What Tourists Need to Know:
Plan your day trips and returns accordingly
Public transport and cafes close early
Hotels provide services during curfew hours, but you must stay inside
Curfew times can change depending on the region, so always check the latest info with your guide or hotel.
Despite curfews, tourists enjoy full, safe days of exploration and often appreciate the quiet, secure evenings as a contrast to the day’s intense discoveries.
Is It Safe to Visit Kyiv or Kharkiv in 2025? [Updated May 2025]
Kyiv is considered safe for visitors, with museums, restaurants, and hotels operating regularly. Kharkiv, while closer to the front line, is accessible for guided tours with high security.
Kyiv:
Strong air defense protects the capital
No fighting in the city itself
Daily life is vibrant and proud
Kharkiv:
Some areas are damaged, but locals continue daily life
Short tours focus on reconstruction, stories of resistance, and support initiatives
We never offer tours in areas under threat or with frequent air alerts. All visitors receive a security briefing before the tour.
