Kamianets-Podilskyi Fortress

Just a short walk from the ancient town, Kamenets Podolsky fortress is a prominent feature in Kamianets-Podilskyi, also is one of the main reasons tourists visit this fairy-tale city. This fortress, which dates back to before the 14th century, is an excellent spot in the canyon for photography and exploration. The fortress, which towers over the Smotrych River, is incredibly spectacular — it's certainly one of Eastern Europe's most gorgeous castles from a fairy tale.

Take a tour of the inside, taking in all of the corridors and admiring the well-kept grounds. Despite the fact that the Kamenets Podolsky fortress is centuries old, it offers modern conveniences such as toilets and a café to ensure that you have a pleasant visit. When the castle is illuminated at night, it is very stunning.

Take a short trip into the Old Town with its pretty pastel-colored houses after a day of touring and get a bite to eat at one of the many unique restaurants. Also, take to the skies for a one-of-a-kind hot air balloon ride, waterfall-watching along the Smotrichsky Canyon, and archery on the Castle Bridge, which is one of the city's attractions. The amazing hot air balloon event in the spring is not to be missed!
