Why Uzhhorod?
City, where the cultures meet
Uzhhorod, Hungarian Ungvár, Czech Užhorod, Russian Uzhgorod, city on the west of Ukraine. It is situated along the Uzh River just east of the Slovak border. For centuries Uzhhorod has been an important cultural, educational, religious, and economic centre of the Carpathian Mountains region.
It was founded in the 8th or 9th century and has long had commercial and military significance. It was under Hungarian control from the 11th to the late 17th century, when it became a possession of the Austrian Habsburgs. It passed to Czechoslovakia in 1919, to Hungary in 1938, and to the Soviet Union during World War II. You would see the imprint of each epoch in the city, which makes it special. It is the seat of a university founded in 1945 and administrative center of Zakarpattya Region.
