well, it's like going back to the past. Within few km from the city, this village gives the idea how people used to live in the past. Even if I guess in the 30's during Stalin terror period, Holomodor and repression in Ukraine, it's better to forget and nothing good was there. In any case, it's worth of a visit. More

Take the Blue Line to the end (as of May 2012) at Vystavkobyi Tsenter and take an 80 uah cab to the front gate. (We saw bus 172 at both the Metro stop and the front gate but cannot confirm that it's the one to take, so ask.) English language maps were available from one of the offices just behind... More

Some 40 min drive from Kiev. Pretty little houses are nice. Great place for strolling. There is a shop in one of the little houses and that shop is great. I do not recall seeing that many beautifully embroided towels in Kiev. The woman who sells them makes them herself in different styles traditional for different Ukraine parts. The prices... More

We took a high school group here and hired an English speaking guide at the entrance. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Signage is almost nonexistent, and those are in Ukrainian. The place is huge. We only had about three hours and could have easily sent the day. Restrooms are very primitive. Souvenirs are very cheap and many are hand... More

The place is basically a settlement - a collection of huts characteristic of different regions of Ukraine from anywhere from 16th till 19th century. Great to go with kids so they appreciate all the press-one-button-and-its-done-appliances - when they see the wooden board that is supposed to help wash ones clothes when cloths are rubbed against its ribbed surface))) Definitely make...

We were picked up from the apartment we stayed at by their guide-driver, the... More
