Knaus
INTERNATIONAL$$$
(
www.knaus.com.ua
; vul Holovna 26A; mains 30-90uah; noon-4am)
Indoors this place tele-
ports you to a kind of Ukrainian Bavaria, but summer is the best time to visit Knaus
when you can sit out with a Krombacher beer in the courtyard beer garden. The menu is
a mixed bag of Ukrainian staples, German pork knuckle and dumplings, and more exotic
dishes such as pumpkin soup with curry. The owners also rent out an apartment on the
same courtyard and run a travel company.
Pub 34
PUB
(vul Holovna 34)
Keeping to a post-Soviet tradition of naming your business after its build-
ing number, this brick cellar pub-club spins cool tracks as you kick back on leather sofas
and enjoy the meat-heavy meals and beer. Live music evenings and regular DJ nights.

Getting There & Away
AIR
Chernivtsi's airport can now call itself 'international' thanks to the Romanian airline
domestic flights.
BUS
The bus station is 3km southeast of the city centre. Coming from Kolomyya, get off the
bus at the roundabout where around half the passengers alight. If you don't, you'll prob-
ably end up at the Kalynivsky Market, from where you'll have to haul you luggage
through the busy rows of stalls and jam it into a
marshrutka
(No 10) to get to the city
