Things to explore

Kyiv has the highest number of square kilometers of park per resident in Europe, lined with benches and dotted with monuments. The urban area near the venue offers a great variety of historical, cultural, and outdoor attractions to explore. Whether it's your first time in Kyiv or you're a frequent visitor, the following should help get the most from your trip. Read a brief information about Kyiv from Lonely Planet, including major places of interest. We would especially recommend the following attractions near the Venue:

Andriyivskyy Descent is the place where you can find a huge collection of Ukrainian souvenirs of all types. It is considered to be the brightest street with the highest concentration of art representatives. Don't pass by St. Andrew's Church built by the project of Italian master Bartolomeo Rastrelli. A graceful beauty of the interior decorations won't leave you untouched.

St. Michael's Cathedral — a sky-blue cathedral built in the 12th century. The cathedral proudly demonstrates the greatest creations of the Kievan Rus' monumental painting. Enjoy the fantastic view from the bell tower of the monastery.

The Sculptures Alley is a funky street packed with contemporary art sculptures.Walk from St. Andrew's Descent towards the Kyiv Museum of History and soon you'll see the famous mosaic cats.

Independence Square, also known as "Maidan Nezalezhnosti" is the central square of Kiev and the place for the Revolution of Dignity (2013). It's a huge open space with fountains, the Independence Column and a great variety of cafes. We really recommend to visit an atmospheric restaurant The Last Barricade and enjoy real Chicken Kyiv.

Kyiv is one of the oldest cities in Europe with a 1500-year history! Discover its hidden attractions, explore unusual sights, spend nights in hipster bars and let the locals break your heart when shopping at iconic markets.
When our guests ask for restaurant recommendations, we usually advise them to install Foursquare app to find tasty places in Kyiv. This app is much appreciated by the locals and usually gives a fair rate to the restaurants and pubs.
