Coming to Kyiv

Almost 100% of western tourists are coming to Ukraine through Kyiv (Kiev) and spend a couple of days there strolling around and even making beeline to Prypiat (Chernobyl). Wide range of hotels are offering accommodation in the center but prices are quite high. This one-bedroom apartment costed us 110 USD (the same hotel suite was at least 3 times more expensive) We rented this apartment in Kiev from Grata agency and recommend to everyone.

 

Kyiv in focus

Kyiv is the heart of Ukraine and Independence Square is the heart of Kyiv. I start my traveling with camera from this special place.

October Palace and flower clock nearby.

Independence Square in Kyiv

This is October Palace - concert and conference hall now, but KGB jail 50 years ago

after recent reconstruction the square became a sort of "greenhouse" due to superfluity of glass constructions
