Kiev is a very European type city. If it were not in a former soviet country, you would think you were in Prague. The people are very friendly and speak english well enough to get by. The city has been in political turmoil lately. When I arrived, there had been a 4 day celebration of the "Orange Revolution" (the independence from USSR). ...

Kiev is great!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 06/02/07
I've traveled to many places in the world and Kiev is one of my favorites. The city is brimming with interesting historical & cultural sites. Moreover, the prices are reasonable and the people are friendly. I predict that Kiev will become a major tourist hotspot beginning with the 2012 European soccer championship tournament that it will be hosting.

A great discovery
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 01/08/07
Kyiv is a great city with a lot of things to see, places to taste national and international food and night clubs to go and have fun. Please, note that Kyiv is Ukrainian way to spell it, while Kiev is a Russian way. Go Ukrainian! Arrival to airport Boryspil can be stressful because taxi drivers are sometimes too eager to get a customer. Fuel prices ...

Scenic city
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 06/09/06
The city with its beautiful churches and location by the river makes it very scenic. It's also growing with a lot of new construction of apartment buildings because real estate has shot up quite a bit with an average apartment costing around $30K USD a few years ago to about $100K USD now.
The city has a very fast and convenient subway ...

Daydreaming about going back!!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 05/01/06
I've always wanted to visit Kiev, my experience was double of what I hoping for. Initially you feel a culture shock when people push you and nevera apologize. However ask those same people for directions, they'll literally stop what they're doing to help you out! There is so much to do & so much too see! I actually ended up sitting ...

By inesskar, 11/03/05
People are friendly and always ready to help you. There is a planty of places to visit and things to do. The churches are very beautiful. It is difficult to move fast around the city and the roads could be better.
