In this research paper, a statistical analysis of the type and seasonality of arrivals to the former Residence of the Bukovina Metropolitans in Chernivtsi (Ukraine) was carried out. Based on a time series for 2000–2023, types were considered according to such categories as adults, pupils/students and domestic vis‑itors or inbound tourists by country of origin. Each of them was considered over the time series. The results of the analysis allow us to establish the effects of the factors influencing tourist flows on ‘calm’ Chernivtsi in a country at war. Thus, it is possible to see nuances to the influence of threats and dangers on domestic and inbound tourism in Ukraine. The analysis of seasonality, thanks to the location in the mid‑latitudes, has made itpossible toestablish the influence ofclimate onthe distribution oftourism throughout the year. The UNESCO status of the former Residence of the Bukovina Metropolitans increases the value of the research not only due to the analysis, but also due to the primary data to which the authors had exclusive access, as university teachers located on the site. This research paper is a follow‑up to that presented in “Methodical approaches and statistical analysis oftourist arrivals tocenters ofsightseeing tourism (based onthe example ofChernivtsi, Ukraine)” (Korol, Krul, Zayachuk & Kostash, 2023).
