Assif Am-David (Israel):
I've been to Czernovitz (Chernivtsi) in summer 2007 as a part of a geneological trip. The city used to be populated with Jews and Germans and this is still evident in its traditional Austro-Hungarian architecture. The residence has been turned into a university before WWII and it is certainly one of the most fancy universities I've ever seen. Its Neogothic style is so lavish that it starts to strike one as organic and even authentic to some extent. Do know that a visit to the university is only possible one hour a day. This is typical of not-so-much-tourists-friendly-post-Cummunist Ukrainia.
