One of the sights tot to be missed while visiting this city. A hugh statue overooking city views all around, a nice park with more war and independance monuments, great for a walk on a sunny day. More

A modern, vibrant hub of activity, yet far ess crowded than its counterparts in Western European cities. The statue of the fabled founders of Kiev is worth a photo, but the central statue is obscured by scaffolding, which spoils the view.

After a hard day sightseeing the cafes at the western end of the square, near Vul Sofikska, are just the pefect place for a cold beer or rich coffee with which to watch the people of Kiev go about their business. Great! More

It's a beautiful place, but it's also very touristy. So many vendors harassing you. The fountain is a nice place to cool your feet. If you love shopping....GO!! More

This is a uncommon square, divided by the most used street of the city, full of banks but the area is also full of nice restaurants and shops. When you need something just go there to find it! More

If you want to see Stalin architecture...In Moscow this is bigger and better. A lot of Kiev-people dislike this place. Or like not so much. But near - Sofiivsky sqv, Pechersk - more interessant. In Kreschatik situated Varenichna (good ukrainian restraurant), Club 44 (good bear, sometimes good music) More

lots of space to wander, people watch and shelter underground if it rains and continue shopping! More
