Step into Kiev, and you’ll be stepping into a beautiful green city, where you’ll have the ability to fawn over the stunning architecture, or lose yourself in the one of the many museums dedicated to a long, and storied Ukrainian history.

• For a relaxing holiday, visit Kiev’s botanical gardens, where you can stroll in the shade of the capital’s many trees. While there, stop and pay a visit to the World War II museum. This is much more than a museum, it is a complex dedicated to the German-Soviet war, the sacrifices made, with indoor and outdoor monuments that will leave you breathless.
• St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery is a must see, with it’s beautiful glowing tips shining above the pale blue of the Ukrainian Baroque building. Originally built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed by the Soviet’s in the 1930s, and rebuilt in 1999 following Ukrainian independence.
• Andriyivskyy Descent, described as the Montmarte of Kiev, is a historic road connecting the Upper Town neighbourhood to the Podil neighbourhood, which is filled a number of historical landmarks, such as: the House of Peter the Great, the Fountain of Samson and various other worthwhile attractions.
• Pay a visit to the National Art Museum of Ukraine, which is a large building dedicated to Ukrainian art, ranging form medieval to contemporary, this is a fantastic place to gain some understanding of the history of the Ukraine.
• Though it may be viewed by some as too solemn for a holiday attraction, the Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum stands as both a museum, and monument to those affected by the disaster, and Ukrainian society.
• The Golden Gate was the entrance to the ancient city and dates back to the 11th century. It’s a beautiful structure, certainly worth a visit while on your way to Kiev’s old town.
