- A walking tour of the city.
- Getting to know the charming miniature bronze sculptures . They are Uzhhorod's signature feature. Every year there are more and more of them. The little monuments are dedicated to interesting historical figures, characters or mythical heroes. Visitors will have the chance to see Mozart, Harry Houdini, Andy Warhol, the Eiffel Tower, a family of hedgehogs, a bronze television set and many other curiosities.
- A visit to the city's cosy coffee houses and a tasting of genuine Transcarpathian coffee . It is not for nothing that they say Lviv is famous for its coffee houses, and Uzhhorod for its coffee! And Uzhhorod's coffee houses are doing just fine too :))!
- An introduction to a sacred monument of Ukraine - the oldest working church, dating from the 11th century. The Horiany Rotunda - sung of in legends, shrouded in mystery - still raises many questions about its origins. The six walls of the ancient church are decorated with 14th-century frescoes and old wall paintings whose craftsmanship will astonish you.
- An introduction to the legendary, light-hearted tavern-museum "Detsa u notaria" : the story of how it came about, the distinctive Transcarpathian humour, the colourful biography of its owner.
- Lunch.
- Bathing in the thermal pools at the Zolota Hora ranch. Five thermal pools with different temperatures are at your disposal. Waters of similar composition are found at the thermal resorts of France, Germany and the Czech Republic.
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- An excursion to the Valley of Narcissi , if the valley is in bloom at that time; if it is not - bathing in the thermal pools in Khust (a modern water complex*****)
- The Valley of Narcissi is a unique natural site, a reserve where the highland species narrow-leaved narcissus grows. This flower is found in the Balkans, the Alps and the Carpathians at altitudes of 1100-2060 m. In this valley the narrow-leaved narcissus survived the ice age and is a relict species. An extraordinarily beautiful springtime phenomenon of nature!
- Lunch. The finest dishes of Transcarpathian cuisine.
- Transfer to the village of Iza , where you can see and buy unique willow-wicker craftwork made by local masters.
- An excursion around the unique farm beyond the village of Iza , where spotted deer have settled in beautifully. Optionally, a visit to the Highland ranch.

- Return to Uzhhorod.
- Breakfast at the hotel. Check-out from the rooms.
- The excursion around the castles of Transcarpathia offers a chance to touch the region's unique historical heritage. You will discover the mysterious principality of Transylvania, which once included the surrounding lands.
- You will visit some of the most beautiful castles in our country , where the history of Europe was shaped and whose walls will tell true stories of love, valour, nobility and self-sacrifice. You will not only hear ancient legends and touch beauty, but also meet remarkable people who recreate the history, beauty and cultural heritage of the Silver Land not in words but in deeds.

An incredibly beautiful piece of architecture! A stroll along the avenues of the old count's arboretum to the spring of youth. A lake with ducks and swans, an enclosure with wild animals. A special aura of tranquillity reigns here…
