10 Things NOT TO Do in Ukraine

The Ukraine is rich in culture and tradition with beautiful architecture and hospitable people but if you want a nice trouble-free visit, there are a few things you should know.

1. Don’t Drink in Public!
Walking around with an open alcoholic beverage or consuming even low alcohol beverages in a public is a fineable offence and you could end up in a cell.

2. Don’t Forget Your Passport
Police can check your ID at any time, be sure to have your passport on you at all times, failure to produce a valid ID means you’ll be detained until they can prove your legal status in the country.

3. Don’t Get Offended
Although friendly, Ukrainians can be rather blunt when asking questions. They may ask how much you earn or your religion, there is no malice intended, it’s just pure curiosity.

4. Don’t Lose Sight of Your Credit Card
Credit card fraud is growing in Ukraine so never give your card to someone, be sure to follow the waiter to the machine or get him to bring it to you.

5. Don’t Pick up the Wallet
This is a scam where one person drops their wallet in front of you and you pick it up and give it to them. They then check the wallet and say there’s money missing. A fake policeman arrives and checks your wallet, secretly palms some cash, and then gives it back to you saying you didn’t take the money.

6. Don’t Drink the Water
Although reported to be safe to consume it is better to boil tap water before drinking or drink bottled water to avoid getting an upset stomach or even worse “Ukrainian anium!”

7. Don’t Show Your Valuables
Don’t flash your cash, fancy watch, or phone the only people who will notice are the ones you don’t want to. Making you a target for pickpockets and scammers.

8. Don’t think its always cold
Although they do have cold winters, with temperatures sometimes dropping below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, summers temperatures can reach 95 degrees!

9. Don’t forget to toast
Ukrainians like a drink and they’re big on toasting, so have one prepared. Don’t toast the dead, don’t let your glass touch the table until the toast is done, leave your glass on the table while it’s filled and all opened bottles, must. be. Finished!

10. Don't Compare Ukrainians to Russians.
Just don't………... Don't, don't do it!

10 Things Not to Do in Poland

Get more Tips here!

There are an almost endless number of reasons to visit Poland. Poland is home to 14 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the food is incredible, and the history is gripping. It’s cheap, too. Of course, it’s possible to get into some trouble. If you want to keep the locals happy, and make sure you hit all the right hot spots, follow these NOT to do.


1. Don’t Check Your Inhibitions at the Door
Use good judgement, avoid poorer areas after dark, and think twice before you go home with any strangers. That being said, Poland still has a very low crime rate overall, so you should be safe.


2. Don’t Leave Without Checking the Weather
Obviously, the weather in Poland is different depending on the season, but you should be aware that the temperatures in the country can swing to the extremes with ease. Plan ahead. You’ve been warned.


3. Don’t Skip Dessert
Polish cuisine is pretty mouth-watering as a whole, but even if you don't indulge in the odd pastry or two, break that rule for Polish dessert. Every one of your senses will thank you.


4. Don’t Be a Jerk to the Locals
Lots of countries have a reputation for their friendly locals. The Poles take it to a new level. If you end up chatting with someone too long, you might find yourself invited over for dinner (which you probably shouldn’t pass up).


5. Don’t Forget About Krakow
You’ll probably fly into Warsaw, which can easily serve as a base of operations for your trip. Thanks to the city’s vibrant thrum, you can find yourself enamored for days. If you stick around the capital city, however, you’ll be missing out on storied Krakow, which is like a storybook village come to life.


6. Don’t Jaywalk
In some other countries, it might not be that big a deal to cross the street anywhere it seems convenient. In Poland, you might get slapped with a 500zł fine. If you want to shell out the $136 US to cover it, then cross the street freely. Otherwise, cross at the appointed intersections.


7. Don’t Forget that Pickpockets Are a Thing
In areas where a lot of tourists congregate, your odds increase that a pickpocket is lurking around. If you leave your goods unattended, they will get ripped off. Just keep a hand on your souvenirs and an eye on your wallet while you’re taking in Poland’s sights.


8. Don’t Travel in Unlicensed Taxis
If you’re in Krakow or Warsaw, make sure that you only catch a ride with taxis that display both the company name and the phone number on the top of the cab. You should also make sure the cabbie’s license number is displayed, that the meter works and it’s used.


9. Don’t Drink (Too Much)
You should absolutely check out the beers and vodkas that Poland has to offer, because they’re world class. Even better, craft beer has seen a huge resurgence in the country, which means there are different drinks in every corner of the country. Enjoy! But, you know, responsibly and stuff.


10. Don’t Leave Without Visiting at Least One UNESCO World Heritage Site
Krakow’s Historic Center. Auschwitz. Białowieza Forest. Warsaw’s Historic Center. The Medieval Town of Toruń. The Dual Churches of Peace in Jawor and Swidnica. Centennial Hall in Wrocław. The place has a lot of cherished history. So much so that you can only miss it if you’re actively trying.
