Kamenetz-Podolsky, the hotels of which we will comprehensively consider here, is one of the most visited cities of Ukraine by tourists. Why? The answer to this question becomes obvious when you just approach the village. The majestic castle with towers and ramparts did not seem to notice how centuries passed. Thanks to numerous restorations and respect, this museum can take us to the era of the Cossacks and the Turkish-Polish wars. But besides the castle in Kamenetz-Podolsky there is something to see. For example, at the Cathedral Church of Saints Peter and Paul. The former minaret of the Turkish mosque is now crowned by a gilded figure of the Virgin Mary. And on the banks of the picturesque river Smotrych with high banks there is a wooden church of the Exaltation of the Cross. The grand Turkish bridge spread across the canyon. The tower of Stephen Batory was called to guard the city from a single flat place on the river. The town hall of Kamenetz-Podolsky is a symbol of urban freedoms. Not far from the castle on the hill is the Concorde Table.

Both fortresses were built by French military engineers, but by order of the warring parties. Kamyanets-Podilsky firmly entered the history of the Polish people.
