This structure ensures a controlled, informative, and safe journey through the areas that shaped the defense of eastern Ukraine.
Before 2022, Kharkiv was a leading academic, cultural, and technological center — a city of universities, students, wide boulevards, and green parks.
When the invasion began, Kharkiv became one of the most heavily attacked cities in Ukraine. Entire districts were repeatedly targeted, yet the city never surrendered. Today, life continues, reconstruction is underway, and visitors can safely explore the locations that became symbols of resistance.
Our mission is to preserve the memory of what Kharkiv endured and provide respectful, educational tours that support local communities.
On this tour, you will walk through neighborhoods that witnessed some of the most intense fighting and shelling in Eastern Europe. It is a powerful and deeply memorable experience.
Book a guided tour in Kharkiv to see the city’s resilience firsthand and honor the people who defended it.
Before the invasion, Kharkiv was known for innovation, culture, and its vibrant student life. Freedom Square, Saltivka’s residential clusters, and the metro system defined daily routines for over a million residents.
The city’s reality changed overnight.
Kharkiv faced months of constant missile strikes, artillery fire, and heavy urban combat. Civilian districts like Northern Saltivka were hit thousands of times. Cultural landmarks, homes, schools, and businesses suffered enormous damage.
Today, a tour through Kharkiv reveals two parallel stories: the depth of destruction and the unstoppable will of its residents to rebuild, return, and restore normal life.
Our guided tours take you safely through the key locations affected by the invasion. Depending on current conditions, your tour may include:
Northern Saltivka, once the most shelled residential area in Ukraine
Civilian infrastructure sites damaged by missile strikes
Reconstructed districts that illustrate the city’s rapid recovery
Volunteer-built memorials honoring the victims and defenders
Areas of former defensive positions on the city’s northern edge
De-occupied villages in Kharkiv Oblast, where the first counter-offensive successes took place
All routes are checked in advance, and only safe locations cleared for visitors are included.
Our goal is to give you a realistic understanding of what Kharkiv faced while ensuring your complete security throughout the tour.
