Introducing Uzhhorod

Uzhhorod (formerly Ungvar) is a typical border town – buzzing, full of energy, and often quite brusque. However, it is quite pretty, particularly the old town centre and tree-lined river embankments.

The main town of the Transcarpathian (Zakarpatska) region, Uzhhorod has large Hungarian and Romanian minorities, giving it a Balkan feel. The long autumn is the best season to visit, with the beech leaves turning and the grape harvest coming in. Troyanda Zakarpatya (a red dessert wine) and Beregivske (a riesling) are among the best-known Transcarpathian wines.
