Travel guide - Travel to Ukraine

Art and Culture
Ukrainians are very hospitable. As their guest,
you will receive red-carpet treatment. This
includes heavily-laden tables, gifts, and many
toasts. While it is sometimes uncomfortable for
Americans, who have so much, to accept gifts
from those who have so little, they will be very
insulted if you turn them down.
- If invited into a family home, it is traditional to
bring a gift. A bottle of wine, a cake, or a bouquet
of flowers are customary.
- If you bring flowers, make sure the number of
flowers is uneven (3,5, etc.).
- Be ready to give toasts at dinner, for guests are
often asked to do so.
