Kyiv Attractions
24, Volodymyrska St
Saint Sophia's Cathedral is an outstanding complex; work started on it in 1037 and lasted for just three years. As the architectural monument has had only a few reconstructions, you can marvel at the Byzantine cathedral in close to its original form. In addition, as it is located at the intersection of the four leading roads in Kiev, climb to the cathedral's bell tower and you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view from the top.
23, Andriivs'kyi descent
Andrew's Church in Kiev is one of the most striking Baroque buildings. Its architecture and location are genuinely unique. The church is built on an artificial hill, overlooking one of Kiev's oldest neighbourhoods, and the foundation for it is the terrace of a two-story building, with a cast-iron staircase.

Independence Square
Maidan is the nation's meeting point. The square saw pro-independence protests in the 1990s and the Orange Revolution in 2004. But all of that was eclipsed by the Euromaidan Revolution in 2013–14, when it was transformed into an urban guerrilla camp besieged by government forces. In peaceful times, Maidan is more about festiveness than feistiness, with weekend concerts and a popular nightly fountain show.
Zapecherna St

The most famous and expensive speak easy bar in Kiev. A place in the courtyard, behind a closed door, without a sign, with an amazingly solid concept and solid interior.And in general, if you watch the bar, it feels like a laboratory in front of your eyes where experiments are performed on visitors. In the best sense.

Small wine bars in the center. There is a great choice of wine, and if you don't understand it, you'll be happy to help you choose something to your taste (and they will surely guess) The only negative is that there are always a lot of people here and often there are no empty seats.

Place with an incredible, completely unique charm. Still not crossing the threshold, you will find yourself in America of the times of Prohibition, which create a muffled light, and the bar is made in the form of shutters, which are easy to close in the event of a "raid". There are about thirty cocktails in the menu and each of them has its own unique history.

Perhaps the most famous and large store with a huge collection of clothes from Ukrainian designers. Recently, across the road (Kreschatik Street, 34), another store has appeared from the same guys, but already with dishes and home accessories. Leaving without shopping is unreal. In addition, do not forget about how it all began, and continue to hold large markets.

Cheerful charity flea market. Here there seems to be everything: a market with clothes and accessories, vinyl and books. Often a "Star Alley" appears on which local celebrities sell their things: you can grab the dress of the singer LUNA or hang out with Ivan Dorn. In the warm season flea markets are held every two weeks

A new art space on the most bohemian street of the city, which combines a gallery, a book corner, a bar and a coffee shop.

Zhenya Gorban is responsible for coffee - perhaps the main coffee technologist in the city.

An important part of the new look of Kiev is its techno scene, which has developed in the last 4-5 years. As a club it regularly and fairly falls into the lists of the best clubs in the world.
