Autumn is the time when Ukrainian parks and nature reserves transform into painters’ canvases. Golden leaves, mist over the lakes, and the serene grandeur of nature create perfect conditions for travel.
RBC-Ukraine highlights the most beautiful places in Ukraine where autumn reveals its new colors, and that are worth visiting in November.
Sofiyivka, Uman
One of Ukraine’s most famous parks is especially enchanting in autumn. The old trees don golden robes, while the alleys, ponds, and waterfalls create a romantic atmosphere. During this period, Sofiyivka resembles a living painting, where nature and art merge into one.

Mezyn National Nature Park
In the northern Chernihiv region, among oak groves and hills, lies Mezyn Park - one of Ukraine’s oldest protected areas. Its autumn landscapes resemble classic Ukrainian paintings: soft mists, steep ravines, river valleys, and a quietness you won’t find in the cities.
