3 DAYS IN KYIV

Upon arrival, you will be met by your Next Stop Ukraine guide at the airport and chauffeured to your centrally located hotel. Check-in.

After some time to rest and unpack your suitcases, your guide we’ll show you around and give you a bunch of local insider information on the best souvenir stores, local restaurants with the most delicious food, and show you places to exchange money as well as ATMs!

Free evening at leisure.

After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll embark on a guided City Tour (bus + walking). We’ll explore the ‘heart’ of Kyiv: Independence Square, better known as Maidan. This is the place which has changed history, where the Orange Revolution and Revolution of Dignity happened and we’ll learn about each of these important moments.

Next, we will see some of Kyiv’s most iconic sites, such as Taras Shevchenko Park and National University of Kyiv, St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral, the Golden Gates of Kyiv, and St. Sophia’s Cathedral – places which date back to the 10^th century! Travellers from Ukraine and abroad come to this pilgrimage place to see 1000-year-old frescoes and mosaics and feel the spirit of tradition. And, finally, St. Michael’s Cathedral, located opposite St. Sophia’s Cathedral, will surely impress you with its sky-blue exterior and glittering golden domes, which add a stunning layer to a cityscape.

After stop for a lunch in traditional Ukrainian restaurant we will continue our tour to Andriivsky Uzviz (Descent). This meandering, cobblestoned street snakes down a hill from the city center to the historic Podil neighborhood, and is littered with many historic sites – the 18^th-century St. Andrew’s Church, and many other museum and art galleries – even a museum about the history of the street! Today it is home to the city’s artisans, craftsmen and vendors – discover all kinds of items on their stalls, from unique pieces, souvenir trinkets to authentic Ukrainian clothing.

Enjoy free evening at leisure and explore Kyiv nightlife!
