Where to stay in Kiev
Where Is Kiev, Ukraine?
The capital and most populous city of Ukraine, Kiev sits in the north central region of the country along the Dnieper River, which flows southwards through the city towards the Black Sea.
What Is Kiev Known For?
Kiev is a wonderful blend of centuries-old architectural magna opera, mouth watering food, glorious art, and vibrant nightlife. Having undergone two modern revolutions, the Ukrainian capital always manages to rise from the ashes and unashamedly blend the east of the west. One of the oldest cities in eastern Europe, Kiev is historically Ukrainian yet draws itself closer to Western influences as the years pass. Often touted as a city of contrasts, Kiev is both old and new; bizarre and brilliant.
