Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine and at the same time one of the most beautiful cities in the entire post-Soviet space. We offer you a very short list of places that you definitely need to visit in the capital of Ukraine, the hero city of Kyiv. For local residents - Kyivan. who visit at least one of these places every day, it has probably already become familiar and does not cause such emotions as those who are there for the first time.
The first is, of course, Khreshchatyk - the most famous and most central street in the city of Kyiv. It is not long at all, but very wide due to the fact that it has four traffic lanes in each direction. There are many different shops, restaurants and cafes on both sides of the street. Many people choose Khreschatyk as a meeting place. This street has rightfully become a symbol of the city of Kyiv, which is home to about 3 million people.
The second is Independence Square, which you can get to simply by walking along Khreschatyk. On the square there is a monument to the Independence of Ukraine, which was erected in honor of the tenth anniversary of independence in 2001. There is absolutely no point in describing the grandeur and beauty of the monument because words cannot convey it, you must see it with your own eyes!
The third place that must be visited in Kyiv is Andriiivskyi Uzviz, or as it is also called in the people - museum street. Along this street there is an endless number of completely different restaurants, shops, etc. But also in addition to this quite often there are some interesting, historical or outstanding places, impressive with their greatness and beauty. You can also buy souvenirs and works of art here.
The fourth place is the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra - it is the oldest monastery that was included in the UNESCO heritage list.
The fifth place, but by no means the most important, is the Dnipro River, which is deservedly a business card of the capital of Ukraine. On the river there is a wonderful town for summer fun and relaxation, simply called Hydropark. All conditions for recreation for every taste are available here for the residents of the capital and guests of the city: clean beaches, cafes, restaurants, extreme attractions, night clubs and probably the most brutal gym in the whole world, located in the open air. Nearby is a unique open-air museum - Kyiv in miniature. Miniature copies of all the most famous and honorable monuments and places of interest of Kyiv are created here, made on a scale of 1:33.
There is also a somewhat mystical place in Kyiv... the people call it Lysa Gora. There are many different legends and beliefs about this place. The main characters of such works were witches, mermaids and other mythical creatures. Practically the entire center of Kyiv is a continuous outstanding places that have gone down in history, majestic churches and cathedrals, interesting architectural monuments, or simply beautiful or unusual places.
Between all this beauty, almost next to each other, there are various restaurants for every taste and budget. We recommend trying Ukrainian national borscht from the oven plus an incredibly delicious dessert that is characteristic only for the capital - Kyiv cake. This work of art of Kyiv bakers can also be safely called a visiting card of the city of Kyiv.
