Ukraine Travel Guide | What You Shouldn’t Miss Seeing and Doing in Kiev

Planning a trip to Ukraine? Read our Ukraine travel guide to know the best sights to see and most exciting things to do in Kiev.

Aaahh Kiev - where do we even start? The vintage trams tottering along its shabby tracks? The colorful buildings dotting the city? The expressive and often rebellious street art? Or the beautiful Ukrainian women who call it home? There’s just so much ground to cover when talking about Kiev.

Despite its many interesting and fascinating characteristics, however, Kiev seems to have remained in the shadows of Ukraine’s turbulent history. A lot of people only remember the country by its Soviet roots, the Chernobyl tragedy, and other unruly and unfortunate events that took place in the past.

But for those who have actually been to the city, Kiev is far from the picture it has been painted with for such a long time. While it may not have the glitz and glamour of other Eastern European cities like Budapest, Prague, St Petersburg or Krakow, Kiev still has a distinct allure that makes it worth visiting.

Centuries-old structures that sit alongside modern buildings, creating a perfect and almost seamless blend of vintage and modern architecture is a view that looks like something out of a movie scene. The city’s aesthetics alone is already reason enough for anybody’s Ukraine travel experience to be a memorable one.

With all that in mind, we wouldn’t be surprised if you’re thinking about paying Kiev a visit already.

But as far as where you’ll take your date, it’s completely up to you. So to prepare you for such a romantic endeavor, here are a few sights to see and activities to do in Ukraine that’ll surely spice up your date with a stunning Kiev babe:

• Take a romantic walk in Maidan Square
  Although usually flooded with locals and tourists alike, Maidan Square is still one of the must-see places in Kiev. It’s a romantic place to take a stroll in with your date. The plaza’s landscape is what many millennials would call “Instagram-worthy” (a place that could potentially be a beautiful backdrop of a photo).
• Get your fill of the unique Ukrainian cuisine
  No better way to spend time with your Ukrainian date than going out for some traditional Ukrainian dishes. Your Ukraine travel experience wouldn’t really be complete without trying the best gastronomic wonders the country has to offer. Some of the must-try are borscht, salo, varenyky, and deruny (you can thank us later).
• Admire Kiev’s domed churches
  Two of the most aesthetically beautiful and prominent domed churches in Kiev are St. Andrew’s Church and St. Michaels’s Gold-Domed Monastery. St. Andrews is pretty much visible anywhere in Kiev as it sits atop a hill overlooking the city. Plus its pastel blue paint is pretty hard to miss.
• Walk down Ukraine’s memory lane in the World War II Museum
  If you’re a history buff, you’ll most likely have a field day at the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War (that’s the official name of the museum, quite a mouthful isn’t it?). But even if you’re not, why not try a fun-filled, educational and historically immersive date for a change?
• Arsenalna Metro, the deepest metro in the world
  Kiev’s metro system isn’t just a quick and reliable way of getting around the city, but it’s also an entirely unique experience all in itself. Almost all of Kiev sits atop hilly areas which explains why most of its metro systems are well below ground.

There are plenty of other beautiful sights to see and exciting things to do in Kiev. And having a stunningly gorgeous Kiev single by your side while exploring her hometown will certainly make the experience even more worthwhile.
