Kiev (also Kyiv and Ukrainian: Київ) is the largest city and capital of Ukraine. As one of the oldest cities in Europe it has a rich history. Today’s walk starts after some summer rain at the Maidan, the Independence Square in the center.

The inner city is dominated by Soviet style architecture along the main street “Khreshchatyk”. We walk along this famous street with many shops and restaurants until the entertainment center “Arena”. From there we head to the sports stadium “Palats Sportu” and continue on the Tarasa Shevchenko Boulevard. Walking uphill we see the Kiev Opera House and also visit the St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral.

More sights in the center are also good for a visit so we pass the “Golden Gate” and finally end the walk around the St. Sophia’s Cathedral and its bell tower. Another walk around the Cathedral and monastery is here: https://youtu.be/B8a7BCLVVpo
