Warnings Or Dangers: Be careful!
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Watch out for gypsy children near the metro stations and also the train stations. I never had problems, but my friend was attacked by a group of them while using her cell phone and she is even Ukrainian. A lot of my Ukrainian friends told me to be careful in crowds and on public transportation because many times pickpockets will use razor blades to just cut through your leather bag or backpack and lift things out without your knowledge.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Take your identity card or at least a copy!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Many people have said that they never had problems with being stopped by police. However, I was one of the "lucky" ones that got stopped for a check. When I was with my Ukrainian friends, I never had difficulties or problems. However, everytime I would go with international students from the universities such as those from India, Iran, Korea, well, we always got stopped and they always wanted to check our documents. One time a police man even followed me to my flat and came inside my flat and looked around at all my personal belongings. So, always be sure that you have some way to identify yourself. You never know when you might need it.

     happy you had a chance to visit Kyiv. as for the picture, it's the Bell Tower of St. Michael Cathedral, not Sophia :)

     Hi, I am doing good. How are your plans about Kiev? I spent a spring break there: visited parents and friends. If you go before July, make sure you will bring warm clothes, it is really cold there.

     it sounds like you had such a great experience living here. And i agree with nemorino - very lucky to go to operas for so cheap!
    Nemorino Fri Jul 8, 2005 16:51 UTC
     Glad you saw so many fine opera performances in Kiew (for so little money!). Do you ever go to Opera Colorado in Denver? More expensive than Kiew, I'm afraid. (Do you have any more photos for this page?)
