Kiev (also spelt Kyiv) is the capital of Ukraine and one of the biggest cities in Europe. It has been standing on steep hills overlooking the Dnipro River for more than 1,500 years. Since then, Kiev has developed into a valuable center of East Europe attracting foreign businesses and investors to its economic and natural potential.

On this page you will see links that will help you discover Kiev Ukraine and begin to appreciate my new adopted home. Kiev is truly on of the most beautiful capitals of the world. Here in Kiev there are some of the most beautiful and old churches of the world, fantastic cafes and restaurants, as well as, some of the most welcoming people.

The center of Kiev is packed with hundreds of restaurants, cafes,and three malls.

The center of Kiev is on of the safest cities in the world. I have lived here and have never had any problems in the three years I have lived here.

Every night, even in the cold weather, you will see hundreds of couples walking arm in arm down the main streets long into the night. This is the city to have a romantic walk and enjoy the thousands of beautiful and wonderfully dressed people strolling and enjoying the architecture and sites of Kiev Ukraine.

The main street Kreschatik has wide sidewalks with one side of the street layered with two tiered sidewalks that has hundreds of old chestnut trees and thousands of people romantically walking or sitting on benches. Churches and sites! You will have to spend a week to see all of the fantastically preserved Orthodox churches.

In the very center are the complexes of Saint Sophia Cathedral molded after the great Sophia Cathedral in Constantinople, and the huge Saint Michaels Cathedral, and what ever you do, do not miss the Perchera Lavara, a entire complex of churches that occupies an entire hill with underground catacombs of mummified priests.
