It would be fair to say that Sumy, Ukraine, has had a bit of a chequered history. The central city that bears the name of the region was founded in 1652, as a Cossack fortress to defend against the Crimean Tatars. As peace broke out, it became more of a commercial city. Today, it is home to the Ukrainian Academy of Banking, where you’ll find the Museum of the History of Ukrainian Money. As such, it is a vital city for Ukraine’s commercial sector.

Of course, Sumy is not merely an attraction for those with an interest in business and finance. Its other key draws for tourists are some of the country’s most impressive cathedrals and historic buildings. These include Sumy city’s oldest standing structure, the Church of the Resurrection, and the Cathedral of the Saviour’s Transfiguration. Sumy is one of Ukraine’s most architecturally beautiful cities.

If you’re planning a trip to Sumy, one other thing to bear in mind is the climate of the region - visit in winter and you’ll find snow and biting cold sub-zero temperatures. If, however, you arrive in the summer, it’s positively balmy for Ukraine and temperatures can range between 30-35 degrees Celsius (85-95 degrees Fahrenheit). Bearing that in mind may help you choose from the following options for accommodation.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status. recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.
