The city invariably enchants guests with its European charm during a private sightseeing tour. The official history of Ungvar (the old name of Uzhhorod) dates back more than 1,100 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Ukraine. The history of Ungvar is the history of the Kingdom of Hungary, the Austrian Empire, and the Czechoslovak Republic. Each era left its mark on the city’s appearance.
