You really need to know how to appreciate this kind of attraction before you opt for a visit to this remote place. I don't and I died from boredom there. My girlfriend liked it although she went there three times already. I couldn't wait to go back to a place where houses are made of bricks and the grass is... More

Located quite close to city center - only 30 min from Lybedskaya metro station. This is a great place for a day long trip into history of Ukraine from 18 century. They brought into the park buildings from every Ukranian regions. Take a bycle to be able to see all and when tired just relax on the grass with nice... More

The place is enormous big and needs several hours to be covered by foot. The entrance is cheap... More

Pirohiv is an open-air museum of rural Ukraine. They brought here 300 structures from all around Ukraine, and filled them with authentic tools, furniture and decorations. I enjoyed a unique experience, since I visited on the birthday of Ukraine national poet Taras Shevchenko. I joined a march lead by two horse riders that ended at the house of Shevchenko's family,...

Probably one of the most interesting places you can find in Kiev. It moves you into two periods of time: 1) 18-19 century 2) middle of 20 century You will find typical houses for different regions of Ukraine in those time periods. Also some churches and windmills. And of course you can make a break with traditional cuisine.

A great place to enjoy a bit of traditional Ukraine! My favorite part was the tiny one room wooden church. Visited Spring 2008.

If you want to see how Ukrainians lived in previous centuries, this is the place. It's a wonderful outdoor museum with village houses from all the regions of Ukraine, windmills, churches, and a couple of restaurants. It's especially good to visit when there's a festival on and there are luckily loads of those in the summertime. Also horseback riding and... More

This wonderful open-air museum is not too far from Kiev city center, though, while approaching it you feel that you are migrating to a different world. The place is big and needs several hours to be covered by foot. Once inside, you feel yourself immersed in green landscape isolating you from the hustle of Kiev. More importantly, numerous houses, churches,... More
