Full of delicious food, culture, nature, museums, music - it is a hidden gem.Written May 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kayla MIstanbul, Türkiye5 contributionsWe attended a beautiful New Year's Eve concert that combined orchestral pieces, ballet and opera. There was no dialogue so it was easy to enjoy as English speakers since everything was conveyed musically or through movement. The opera itself it stunning and they even gave out masquerade masks to visitors and shot confetti. A very unique experience!Written January 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Ivica SPrague, Czech Republic148 contributionsAccidentally found this place by walking the street, but the experience inside was special.
Old Gentleman's club, now a museum, with a long history, is one of the places in Lviv worth visiting.

This building can compare to the best European tourist sports.Written August 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- piotkuPoznan, Poland115 contributionsAtmospheric place, a few rooms at the ground level and a few in the basement. Not very interesting when visiting without a guide or a person reading Ukrainian. Although the tickets are cheap so I recommend seeing it anyway. If you search you can find medicines set that were taken into space by Russian Soyuz cosmonauts.Written August 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- hanna718NOVA548 contributions1800s palace, so the draw is both the rooms in the style of the day as well as the art. Lovely collection, mostly Europeans, including Goya and Georges de al Tour, but also surprisingly the collection of Puyi, the last Emperor of China . Two floors, enough to make it worth entry, but not so much you get tired of art by the end. One of the rooms included tactile representations of some of the castles in Ukraine alongside braille explanations, which I found unexpected and nice.Written January 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aimhigh43Northport, NY34 contributionsI believe this is the only Russian church we could find, not sure of the names since I cannot read the signs. We were looking for a Russian church for my friend who wanted me to purchase an icon for her tough times. We found this one just outside of the town and went into the shop and got our icon and went on our way. No English was spoken and being American, they didn't even atempt.Written August 19, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We are considering having a trip to one of the non-Schengen countries (Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania) for about 9 days in August ... but we can't decide !
Our type of holiday is wandering around, old architecture and historic sights, nice restaurants and cafes, shopping and also amusement parks and theme parks!
So,,which country will you suggest?!

Answer: I've been to 4 of the 5 countries you listed (yet to make it to Bulgaria). Croatia, the coastal and islands regions at least, are very nice but will be crowded at that time. If you were going in the period of September to November I'd definitely say Croatia for natural beauty. As Max and others said it is significantly more expensive than the other countries.
Montenegro on the coast is also very nice, especially the Bay of Kotor area, but is also very popular these days in Summer.
Only stopped in Belgrade so don't know about other parts of Serbia but the older part of the city is nice IMO.
I've only passed through Transylvannia on a train to Bucharest but from what I have heard from my Romanian friend and photos I've seen, and views from the train, this area could be recommended. The cities in this area of Sibiu and Sighisoara, two of the 7 historical German towns of Transylvannia are recommended. Bucharest, the center at least, is also quite nice (well a lot better than 30 years ago anyway) after restoration work has been done.
Ukraine is recommendable not so much from the natural beauty point maybe compared with say Croatia or Transylvannian towns (Though of course there is the Carpathian ranges also in Western Ukraine) but there are some nice histoical city scapes with some nice architecture across various cities in Ukraine (I haven't been to West Ukraine but most notably Lviv has a high reputation in this regard).
Ukraine will probably be the cheapest, and in my own personal experience view, along with Slovenia, has the friendliest people and customer service, bar a few babushkas at train station ticket windows etc.I have to say on the people front, though I met some nice and friendly people in Croatia and Serbia, I thought the national pride element was also most visible in those two countries.
As far as theme parks go, I have no idea! All I know is EuroDisney and Tivoli, both in the Schengen area.
