While out for a walk, you might as well check this out. I did not bother going inside, but it is a very important historical place for the city of Kiev. Nearby Golden Gate Pub is super friendly to English-speaking visitors/expats! More

Although it is quite new and is only a reconstruction of a historical edifice, it is great that an attempt have been made to re-create history as a reminder of the past.

Excellent atmosphere and good selection of drinks and beers. The food is good quality and the burgers are excellent. On the occasional times that I get a night off when visiting Kiev, I enjoy taking time out at the Golden Gate - especially if there is a football match on! More

This is my favorite place to spend time on quiet spring and summer afternoons, just as the work day is ending. Golden Gate is a massive wooden fort, one of the oldest in the world, located right in the heart of Kiev (Golden Gate Metro).

Interesting place inside. An unusual little chapel on the roof top. Probably the only spot from which one can make decent unobstructed photos of Leipzig hotel (the red and yellow building at the crossing). More
