Five things you can do in Kyiv, Ukraine!

1. Try street food

One of the cool places that were opened just recently is called the Kyiv food market  It is located in the Podil area next to the Dnipro river. The venue has many different cuisines including Mexican, Ukrainian, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai.               

There are many tables where you can relax while enjoying your food and drinks. Kyiv Food market also has several bars that offer drinks, hookah, and bean bags to sit on and enjoy the river view.

Location: moskovskaya 8

2. Saint Andrew’s church & Andriyivsʹkyy Descent.

At the top of the descent, there is the fascinating church of St. Andrew. The church was built in the middle of the 18th century in the Decorative style.

Along the Andriyivsʹkyy Uzviz, there are various cozy cafés and some elegant restaurants. In summer, at the end of the descent, vendors sell paintings, books, and other art-related stuff.

3. Taras Shevchenko park.

Across the street from the red building(Taras Shevchenko University) is Taras Shevchenko Park. A nice pleasant park with many benches to relax, statues, fountains, and green lawns to have a picnic.

The finest time to check this location is on warm summer evenings. There are usually street musicians performing, people dancing, and sometimes students organize an open-air cinema in the park where they play movies in English.

4. Khreshchatyk Street & Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence square)

A lot of the current history of Kyiv can be found in Maidan Square, a place you likely saw on the news during the Euro maidan Revolution. Now, in Maidan Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Ukrainian!) there are many street performances, coffee shops, and locals resting on the benches or meeting friends.

Many of the free walking tours of Kyiv will start at Maidan Square, so if you do one of these tours, it’s quite likely you’ll see Maidan Square and her significant angel statue at some point during your stay in Kyiv.

Location: Independence Square

5. Visit the golden gate

The Golden Gate was the main entrance to Kyiv way back when it was the capital of Kievan Rus. It is one of the oldest monuments in Kyiv. As with many of Kyiv’s historical points, its original integrity has been damaged during the Soviet era. The gate was completely rebuilt by the Soviets in 1982 – supposedly to celebrate Kyiv’s 1500 years of existence.

Location:  Volodymyrska St, 40А, Kyiv, 01034
