Important! The dates of festivals and cultural events in Bukovel for 2018-2019 may vary from year to year. Therefore, before buying tickets to the Carpathians, check the information with the organizers. Additionally, we recommend booking hotels in advance, as during holiday periods in Bukovel, demand (and prices) for accommodation tend to rise sharply.
Even if you don't manage to time your vacation to coincide with sporting or cultural events in Bukovel, you'll still have a great time. Whether you visit during the peak of the ski season or on May Day, there's always something to enjoy.
