Kyiv (not Kiev!) is a place where the rhythm of history
meets a modern urban vibe!
Ukrainian capital is a modern city, home to hundreds of successful
startups, cultural events and cool venues to meet your every need! And
when the sun goes down — rich nightlife gets started!
Our top (and sometimes unobvious) recommendations for you:
1. For history lovers
St. Sophia Cathedral is one of the few surviving buildings of the Kyivan
Rus’ time. It is a monument of architecture and monumental painting of
the second decade of the 11th century (1011–1018). Today a lot of
open-air concerts, as well as art expositions, are organized in the
cathedral grounds.
2. For party lovers
Podil. Artisans’ district in times of the Kyivan Rus‘. Today it’s home
to hipsters and ravers. Start your evening somewhere on the junction of
Yaroslavska and Mezhyhirska streets, choose a bar, start drinking, start
talking, ask those around you for tips.
The only minus is that you can miss your flight back. Even if it was in a week 😉
3. For brutalist and socialist modernist architecture lovers
You’ll be amazed how many strange but beautiful buildings you can find
in less than obvious locations around Kyiv. For example, take a look at
this UFO or crematorium which was built during the Soviet Union.
No worries please — everything is already decommunized 💛💙
