If you’re tired of the never faltering bustle of Kyiv, its huge parties and cramped clubs on every holiday, consider spending your Halloween in Lviv and Odessa in 2017. Two popular Ukrainian cities with good infrastructure, plenty of places to see, and cost of living that goes light on budgeting, are a perfect choice for this year’s holiday. Even though Halloween isn’t especially popular in Ukraine (mass celebrations have begun with start of the millennium), ventures and clubs, as well as city enthusiasts, still try to support the spirit and host thematic parties, festivals or concerts.
Lviv

The city that charms tourists with its mysterious ambience will embrace everyone in autumn as well. Lviv’s narrow streets with incredible 19th century architecture, numerous quiet yards with creaking doors and misty parks full of leaves are enough themselves to set the charm. If you’re the one for a quiet celebration, drop by in a cozy cafe in downtown for a famously delicious Lviv coffee with a mystery book or the new season of «Stranger Things». And whether you’re looking for an adventure at night, consider booking a table at the Picasso Club - the Halloween themed party, hosted by the Addams family, will have you entertained way till the first rays of sunshine hit the town. Guests are encouraged to celebrate the most magical night of the year in any monster outfit they want. DJ Struzh will ensure the best music while you discover your dark side at the dance floor. The admission price is UAH 100 on 31th of October, and UAH 70 for beforehand booking. Check out Picasso Club Facebook page for more information.
