The fashion of Kiev truly is epitomized on Khreshchatyk. I love strolling through on weekends when they close the street to traffic and you can walk in the middle of the road. Lots of chain stores here, make sure you check out the underground mall as well. More

This is the main street in Kiev. It is nice, and clean and very crowded. As a native Kiev citizen i prefer to visit it only when i host some of my foreign friends! I think there is much more interesting places to be seen beside of Khreshatyk. Any way it is very modern, lots of stores, coffees and restaurants. More

The best time to explore this street is at weekends, when it is closed to traffic. Some good restaurants, (plus the ubiquitous McDonalds). Italian restaurant chain "Mafia", despite its unfortunate name, serves very good meals. More

Never ever in my life did I see such a dazzling display of lights as the one in Kreshchatyk . . . . all buildings were adorned with rope lights, led's, and the piazzas were webbed with overhead lighting, and floating leaves. Trees were also masterfully decorated with lighting to give an incredible effect for the Christmas month. Shops open,street... More

I walked all the way down this street in the hope of finding a restaurant worth visiting but did not find one.i also hoped to find a department store to wander round but again no joy.I have to say that Kiev compares poorly against cities of neighbouring Poland.Also there is the big problem that the streets are not clearly signposted...
