Kyiv stands on picturesque banks of the Dnieper river.
The city boasts more than 1500-year history.
Mother of Russian cities – this is how Ukrainian capital is often called.
Kyiv is a large touristic centre, featuring a lot of ancient churches, museums, and theatres.
More than half of Kyiv territory consists of parks, gardens, and forest recreation areas.
Chestnut tree is considered a symbol of the city. It blossoms both in spring and in autumn.
Famous chestnut trees beautify the central city street – Khreschatyk, which becomes a pedestrian street during week-ends,
and Independence Square (Maydan Nezalezhnosti).
Booking a hotel in Kyiv you should consider the following
Airport.
Boryspil International Airport is the air gate of Kyiv and one of the most dynamically developing airports in CIS territory. The airport is located 38 km away from the city centre. A shuttle (an express bus) runs between the airport and the railway station every hour. The International Exhibition Centre and the Bratislava Hotel are within easy reach from Boryspil Airport.Zhulyany Airport, which stands 8 km away from Kyiv downtown, is used mostly for domestic flights.
The railway terminal.
Kyiv-Passazhirsky, the only railway terminal of the city, is located not far from Kyiv downtown, next to Vokzalna metro station. The 4-star Radisson SAS Kyiv Hotel stands in 3 km from the railway station and steps away from the famous Golden Gates. If you arrive in Kyiv on a morning train you should consider that check-in time at most hotels starts at 12 a.m., so it’s better for you to order early check-in while booking a hotel.
Metro.
Kyiv metro includes three operating lines, which connect left and right banks of the Dnieper. In order not to depend on traffic jams you should book a hotel in Kyiv next to a metro station. The 5-star Premier Palace Hotel stands close to the central metro stations – Khreschatyk and Maydan Nezalezhnosti.
The pedestrian area in the centre of Kyiv.
The 4-star Rus Hotel and Dnipro Hotel in Kyiv downtown are conveniently located steps away from Parus, Horizon-Tower, and Millennium business centres, accommodating lots of offices. The green pedestrian area is simply pleasant to stroll along. A 5-minute walk from the Dnipro Hotel will take you to Kyivo-Pecherska Lavra, which was founded as far back as 1051 under Yaroslav the Wise.
Funicular railway as an alternative to Andriyivsky descent.
Poshtova Ploscha metro station has an exit towards the lower funicular station. The funicular connects Podil with the Upper city, making up a fine alternative to a pedestrian stroll along Andriyivsky descent.Booking a hotel room in Kyiv you should consider this unusual type of transport as well. The funicular lifts those who wish to admire breathtaking panorama of Kyiv to Trekhsvyatitelska station, which stands close to St.Vladimir’s Hill. The 4-star Riviera on Podol Hotel is located next to the funicular railway.
