Uzhhorod is a city located in western Ukraine, the administrative center of Zakarpattia region. It is the Ukrainian “window to Europe”. The city is considered one of the most important Ukrainian and European historical centers.

Throughout its more than a thousand year history, Uzhhorod repeatedly passed from hand to hand, changing its rulers and “owners”.

Almost six hundred years presence of Hungarians affected the architectural image of the city. There are a lot of streets and alleys similar to residential quarters of the Hungarian Debrecen or Budapest: picturesque two-three storey houses with preserved medieval ornamentation.

Uzhhorod – a unique mix of cultures and architectural styles. Let’s walk through the streets of the city. The photos were taken by camrador.
