Ukraine

Kyiv (or Kiev) is the capital and the largest city of Ukraine, located in the north central part of the Ukraine on the Dnieper River. We recommend visiting such sights as the Mariyinskyi Palace, the Park of Victory, the Kyiv-Pecherskyi Monastery sites, the St.Sofia and Andriyivska churches, the Golden Gates. Museum of the Second World War is one of the most known museums in Kyiv. The Bogdan Khmelnitskyi and the Volodymir the Greate monuments are worth seeing too.
