If you have enough time, you can walk around the main places in the center of Kyiv. The so-called central circle of tourist Kyiv.

Let’s start with Khreshchatyk – the main street of Kyiv. Every year there is a “Run under the chestnuts”. This is a charity event when everyone makes a contribution, about 10 euros, and runs 5 km through the streets of the capital. It enriches the spirit of people in sports, a team event, which means that it is a team spirit. And most importantly – the money paid by the participants goes to charity, to help children with heart defects.

Khreshchatyk has been famous for centuries for chestnuts and constant movement. On weekends, the street becomes pedestrian, and walking you can always hear not only the Ukrainian language but also many other languages because the street is really a tourist center of Kyiv.

From Khreshchatyk we smoothly move to the Heart of the capital and all of Ukraine – this is Independence Square. All roads lead to the Maidan and this is a fact.

Since 2014, this place has become very important for every Ukrainian. After the “Revolution of Dignity”, the whole world learned about Euromaidan. This is the moment when the strength of spirit and love for the country marked the trace in the memory.

From the Maidan, you can walk to the Arch of Friendship of Peoples or go up to the Kyiv Academic Puppet Theater and Water Museum. On the other side are the Lobanovsky Dynamo Stadium and Mariinsky Park. All those places where appointments are made for beautiful Ukrainian women and Ukrainian sports events are held.

From the Arch, there is a glass bridge on the other side of the road, to Volodymyr Hill. This is a legendary park and the place where Prince Volodymyr the Great baptized Kyiv Rus.

From the park Volodymyr Hill you can go down the funicular to the historic Hem, visit the cafe, and there are many of them.
