You know how sometimes you go somewhere and unexpectedly end up enjoying it so much that you end up staying longer than planned.
Thats what happened in Kiev (Kyiv). I came for a few days and ended up staying several months.
It’s the people that really make the city. From talking during the day over a cup of coffee in one of the many parks to enjoying some good local beers in the bars at night.
It’s never boring.
This is my visual guide for some of the things to see in Kiev.

Nice photos, Jonny! Have you been to Pechersk district? Have you seen the most awesome mansion – House with Chimeras? It’s in the area of the Administration of the President. I highly recommend, as well as the other mansions of the 19th-20th centuries in Lipki district.
