The city of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, is located in the north central part of the country. The city is located on hills overlooking the Dnipro River. The city is beautifully scenic with amazing architectural buildings. Despite the fact that many buildings were destroyed during WWII, much still remains intact.
I spent 3 days in Kiev to break up my journey back from India. What I discovered was a magnificent city with great history and culture as well as strong religious ties. There are 32 museums, 33 theaters, and a vast amount of churches and monasteries to see. The time I had to spend in Kiev was definitely not enough to fully appreciate what this city had to offer.

Hiya Leena, From Old Jersey to New Jersey!! I didn't need to climb the tower for a 360 degree view. I just drank a bottle of local vodka..lol. Nice Pages and tips.. jase
All of the architecture looks great (even the bank- nice view from your apartment!). But, what's up with the McDonald's tip? ;-)
Leena, I truly believe these are some of your Best tips Ever! You are really getting good at this and with all of your travels, you're surely going to help many people! Great Pages! ;-)
