Kiev of Kiëf (Oekraïens: Київ, Russies: Киев) is die hoofstad van Oekraïne, en sy grootste en lewendigste stad. Dit is 'n stad waar die goue koepels van Ortodokse katedrale te midde van koninklike paleise en die grys beton van die Sowjet-Brutalistiese geboue sit.
Verstaan
Die amptelike naam van die stad was lank Kiev, 'n transliterasie van die Oekraïense Київ. 'N Algemene alternatiewe Engelse naam van die stad, Kiev, is 'n transliterasie van die Russiese Киев.
In 2020 was daar 3 miljoen mense. Dit is in die noorde van sentrale Oekraïne aan die rivier die Dnjepr (Oekraïens: Дніпро, Russies: Днепр).
Geskiedenis
Die Oekraïners is verstaanbaar baie trots op hul hoofstad se rol in die vestiging van die Europese beskawing in Oos-Europa. Kiev is een van die oudste stede in Oos-Europa wat dateer uit die 5de eeu, alhoewel nedersettings op hierdie plek baie vroeër bestaan het. Teen die laat 9de eeu was Kiev die middelpunt van 'n opkomende Oos-Slawiese staat. Tussen die 10de en vroeë 13de eeu het die stad sy goue era bereik as die hoofstad van die eerste Oekraïense staat wat vandag bekend staan as Kievan Rus (Kyivan Ruthenia, of Rus-Oekraïne). Dit was die staat wat die godsdienstige en kulturele fondamente van die moderne Slawiese Oos-Europese state gevorm het.
In die middel van die 13de eeu is Kiëf-Roes deur die Mongole oorval. Later daardie eeu het Kiev deel geword van die Groothertogdom Litaue. In 1569 is die stad opgeneem in die Pools-Litausse Statebond. In 1654 het die Kosak, Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Kyiv van die Statebond 'bevry', maar dit onmiddellik gevou tot Russiese hegemonie in 'n aksie wat steeds 'n seer punt vir Oekraïense nasionaliste is.
Volledige Russiese anneksasie het in 1775 gekom en die stad het tussen 1918 en 1920 onder Russiese bewind gebly met 'n kort onafhanklikheid tydens die chaos wat gevolg het op die Russiese rewolusie. Oor hierdie twee eeue het Kyiv groeiende Russifikasie en Russiese immigrasie beleef. Na die ineenstorting van die Sowjetunie in 1991 het dit die hoofstad van die onafhanklike Oekraïne geword en ontdek hy nou sy plek as 'n groot Europese hoofstad.

Gemiddelde temperature is maksimum 26 ° C (79 ° F), minimum 15 ° C (59 ° F) in die somer en maksimum -2 ° C (28 ° F), minimum -8 ° C (17 ° F) in die winter. Lente en herfs (herfs) kan baie kort wees. Hittegolwe met temperature van so hoog as 38 ° C (100 ° F) is skaars, maar in die somermaande nog nie ongehoord nie, en kort, maar kragtige verkoue met temperature tot -20 ° C (-4 ° F) is nie ongewoon in winter. Winterreënval kan al in Oktober begin, en sneeuval word ten volle verwag teen die laat herfs en in die wintermaande wanneer dit intens genoeg kan word om die reis te beïnvloed. Sneeubedekking is egter nie altyd konstant nie en selfs in die winter kan daar periodes wees wanneer die grond kaal lê. Warm klere is 'n noodsaaklikheid van November tot Maart, maar die aantrek in verwyderbare lae sal reisigers help om gemaklik te bly in enige situasie.
Praat
Oor die algemeen is die mense in Kiev gasvry en sal hulle graag wil help. As u egter nie kennis van Oekraïens of Russies het nie, kan dit u moeilik vind om restaurante en winkels te bedien, maar dit verander stadig onder jonger generasies met meer blootstelling aan Engels.
Terwyl 85% van die inwoners aanspraak maak op Oekraïense etnisiteit, praat die meeste Kyivane gewoonlik Russies (alle Kyivane kan verstaan en praat Oekraïens, nietemin); Oekraïens word hoofsaaklik deur immigrante uit die Wes- of Sentraal-Oekraïne gepraat. Baie Kievane, en selfs inwoners van nabygeleë dorpe, praat dikwels 'n dialek wat Surzhik genoem word, waarin dit algemeen is om foneme en woorde te hoor wat nie in standaard Russies bestaan nie, soos Oekraïens "г" (IPA: / ɦ /) of die woord "немае". Soos baie voormalige Sowjet-stede is Kiev 'n multikulturele plek: u sal beslis etniese Russe ontmoet - wat ongeveer 13% van die stad se bevolking vorm - en ook Armeniërs, Azeriërs, Belo-Russiërs, Georgiërs en Tatare. Daar is ook mense wat aanspraak maak op Joodse, Poolse, Roemeense en Hongaarse afkoms.
Amptelik is alle tekens slegs in Oekraïens. Sedert 2011 begin bordjies met Latynse transliterasie in die hele Oekraïne verskyn.

Per boot
Dit is moontlik om in die somer uitstappies langs die Dnieper na die Swart See te organiseer. 'N Reisagentskap in Oekraïne kan hierdie reise vir u bespreek.
Kry rond
Kiev kan vir die Westerse toeris nogal vreemd lyk, want die meeste wegwysers is in Cyrilliese skrif. Dit is nog steeds grotendeels 'n stad waar min mense Engels ken, maar die aantal jongmense groei vinnig. Baie kan miskien nie 'n gesprek voer nie, maar verstaan waarskynlik die gesproke Engels. Baie kafees en restaurante bied spyskaarte in Engels aan en die Metro het alle aankondigings in Oekraïens en Engels. Vir die nie-Russiese of Oekraïense spreker is dit heel moontlik om maklik rond te kom, en dit is 'n baie interessante stad om te verken.
Dit is egter raadsaam om 'n sak Russiese of Oekraïense frase op te tel en die Cyrilliese alfabet te leer, wat lekker kan wees en maklik is om te leer. Spandeer 'n bietjie tyd om sleutelwoorde en frases te oefen (bv. 'Hallo', 'dankie' en 'rekening asseblief'). Selfs wat u as 'n swak poging tot Oekraïens of Russies beskou, sal die meeste mense vermaak tot op die punt dat hulle gemaklik raak met pantomime of die bietjie Engels wat hulle ken, probeer.
Dit is onbeleefd om hard te gesels (byvoorbeeld in die Metro), met die hand te wys of te waai. U moet ook vermy dat u binnekant fluit of ondergeklee is, alhoewel baie kort minirompies wydverspreid is. Al hierdie aksies sal gereeld die verkeerde tipe aandag trek, insluitend volslae vyandigheid.
Neem 'n kaartboek "Kyiv Tour Guide" (Geosvit-boeke - ongeveer US $ 3-4) op, wat by 'n aantal kioskies of by die sentrale poskantoor beskikbaar is. Kiev # Poskantore Basiese toeristekaarte is beskikbaar by die bagasiekarrousel op die lughawe Boryspil. As u baie tyd in Kiev spandeer, kry dan die ooreenstemmende Oekraïense weergawe van u kaart, baie inwoners het soveel probleme met die weergawe wat na Latynse karakters getranslitereer is as wat u met Cyrillic sal hê. Hulle benodig die weergawe in Cyrillic. As u vir 'n aanwysing vra of u met 'n taxi wil vertrek, help dit u om die plek op die Engelse kaart op te spoor en dan dieselfde plek in die Oekraïense weergawe aan te dui.
Daar is (verstaanbaar) nog 'n vlaag ou name wat in baie strate teruggestuur is (Horkogo is nou Antonovycha, Chorvonoarmiyska is Velyka Vasilkivska en so aan); dit is oor die algemeen gefiltreer na die aanlynkaarte, maar die tekens op die huise is dikwels nie verander nie, en sommige ondernemings kan nog steeds die ou styl adresse noem - en andersom, u papierkaart (en kaarte op die inligting) op straat staan) kan verouderd wees. As u skielik agterkom dat die adres wat u ontvang het, nie op die kaart is nie of êrens heeltemal onverwant wys, vra dan.
Met die metro
Die Metro (Oekraïens: Метро) is een van die plesier van Kiev. Dit is 'n skoon en vinnige moltreinstelsel en dit is maklik om te navigeer sodra u besef dat al drie metrolijnen (rooi, blou en groen) deur die middestad gaan. In totaal is daar 52 stasies met ambisieuse uitbreidingsplanne. Die amptelike webwerf kan gevind word by www.metro.kiev.ua
As u die Metro binnegaan, kan u 'n toegangsbewys by die kassa, Kasa (Oekraïens: каса), of by 'n spesiale kaartjiemasjien koop. Een teken is geldig vir een reis, maak nie saak hoe ver u gaan nie. 'N Teken is 8 gram en 'n mens moet die teken in die draaihek gly om in te gaan. Wees bewus daarvan dat u nie meer as een teken per persoon kan koop nie, omdat u bekommerd is dat passasiers tokens mag voorhou gedurende die periode wat 'n prysstyging voorafgaan. 'N waarskuwing: maak seker dat u deur die regte kant van die draaihaak loop (dit is gewoonlik aan die linkerkant van die draaihek waarin u u teken insleutel), of u sal getref word met 'n metaalhek wat sal toeslaan.
U kan ook 'n onbeperkte maandkaartjie met 'n magneetband verkry, wat gedurende die eerste week van die kalendermaand vir 610 грн of die derde week teen die helfte van die prys te koop is (maar nie streng nie).
Vanaf vroeg in 2017, alle metrostasies aanvaar ook kontaklose kaartbetalings, soos Mastercard se PayPass of Visa se PayWave. Besoekers kan die heldergeel / oranje gekleurde draaihekke gebruik (gewoonlik net een per Metro-ingang) om met hul kaart te tik en te betaal. U kan bevestig of u die regte draaihaak het deur na die kontaklose betalingsimbool te soek. 'N Klanktoon soos die invoeging van die teken dui aan of u betaling suksesvol was. Die koste van die kontaklose betaling is dieselfde as 'n teken, en boonop word afslag outomaties toegepas as u gereeld reis. U kan ook u kontaklose kaart koppel aan 'n onbeperkte reisplan per maand / halfmaandelikheid vir verdere afslag.
Die meeste kaarte en wegwysers in die metro word in Engels vertaal. Daarbenewens het elke stasie 'n unieke driesyfer-nommer, met die eerste syfer wat die aantal reëls toon (M1 vir rooi, M2 vir blou en M3 vir groen). Sodra hulle aan boord is, word elke stasie deur luidsprekers en TV-skerms aangekondig. Hierdie skerms wys baie vreemde advertensies tussen die stasies, maar vlag 'n dreigende stasie voor aankoms. By vertrek wys hulle dan die volgende stasie.
Metrostasies waar u kan wissel, het twee verskillende name - een vir elke lyn. As u van lyn verander, kan die ander stasie bereik word met 'n oorweg in die middel of naby een van die punte van die platform.
Treine ry elke 30 tot 150 sekondes gedurende besigheidsure, elke 5 minute na 20:00 en elke 10-15 minute na 22:30. Laaste treine vertrek omstreeks middernag vanaf die terminale stasies, dus u laaste kans om 'n trein in die middestad te haal, is tussen 00:15 en 00:25 (kyk na die rooster vir laat vertrek, wat op elke stasie aangedui word). Treine is dikwels baie druk. Wees bereid om te druk, want dit kan die enigste manier wees waarop u tydens spitstye op die trein klim.
Die Kyiv-metro het van die diepste stasies ter wêreld. Die Arsenalna-stasie (Oekraïens: Арсенальна) -stasie is die diepste metrostasie ter wêreld, op 107 m diep, en die Universytet-stasie (Oekraïens: Університет) het een van die langste roltrappe (87 m lank). Baie stasies het twee lang en intimiderende roltrappe agtereenvolgens.
As u 'Cell Info Display' op u GSM-foon aktiveer, sal dit u die naam van die stasie (in getranslitereerde Latynse karakters (vir UMC- en Kyivstar-intekenare), net soos u kaart, wys) as u ondergronds in die omgewing van 'n stasie is. U selfoon / selfoon / toestel moet op die grootste deel van die netwerk werk, ook tussen stasies.
Kyk bietjie na die stasies. Die rooi lyn het indrukwekkende argitektuur, soortgelyk aan die wat in die land gesien word Moskou en Saint Petersburg metro stelsels. Uitgebreide mosaïeke in die Zolotye Vorota stasie beeld heersers en ander historiese karakters van die Middeleeuse Kiëf-Roes uit.
Met die bus
Daar is twee soorte stadsbusse beskikbaar - bus (автобус) en trolliebus (тролейбус) - sowel as stadige en wemelende trem. Dit kan geprys word vanaf toegekende haltes, wat gekenmerk word deur 'n onopsigtelike teken op 'n telegraafpaal. Die busse is gereeld baie stampvol tydens spitstye, maar die norm is om u in te stoot. Sodra u aan boord is, moet u 'n kaartjie kry en dit bekragtig deur 'n gaatjie te slaan met een van die klein ponsers wat aan die poste in die bus geheg is. As u nie naby die gatponser kan kom nie, vra iemand om u kaartjie vir u te bekragtig. Kaartjies kos 8 en is normaalweg beskikbaar by 'n dirigent aan boord (vreemd genoeg, hulle verkoop eers soveel kaartjies as wat u wil, en vra u dan om een te bekragtig). Kaartjies kan ook by bestuurders of in kiosks regdeur die stad gekoop word.
Deur marshrutka
U kan ook met sogenaamde roetetaxi's of minibussies ry marshrutky (маршрутки). Dit is privaat bestuurde voertuie wat toegewyde roetes ry, wat aan die voorkant van die bus gelys word. U kan a marshrutka by die toegewysde bushaltes. As u aan boord is, betaal u die bestuurder direk, of, as u nie naby die bestuurder is nie, gee u die geld aan die naaste passasier wat dit aan die bestuurder sal deurgee. U verandering sal in omgekeerde volgorde teruggestuur word, maar dit is onverstandig om groot rekeninge te betaal. As u u bestemming bereik, skreeu eenvoudig na die bestuurder om te stop “Na zupyntsi” met spanning op "-pyn-" ', wat letterlik "op die halte" in Oekraïens beteken, of gebruik Russies: "Na astanovkie", beklemtoon op "-nov-" (ongeveer 100 m voor die bushalte wat u benodig) . As u oorskiet, loop u lekker en 'n bestuurder kry 'n bietjie ekstra spanning per dag. Die tarief wissel ongeveer 5 urn en word gewoonlik aan die voor- en sypaadjie van die voertuig aangedui, sodat u sal weet hoeveel u vooruit betaal. Dit is goed om 'n bietjie verandering te hê, sodat u die presiese bedrag kan betaal. Marshrutka-roetes dit kan moeilik wees om uit te vind, maar hulle het 'n lys met haltes op die venster en 'n Metro-logo vir die metrohaltes. Die beste manier om uit te vind waarheen dit gaan, is om die inwoners te vra. Stadskaarte beeld gewoonlik alle openbare vervoer, normale busse, trollebusse, trems en marshrutky af. Die een nadeel van die gebruik van marshrutky is dat hulle geneig is om 'n bietjie verpak te wees (onderbeklemtoon) en baie warm of koud, afhangende van die seisoen.
Met die trem
Om per tram te reis, meestal vir of na voorstede, kan 'n opsie wees. In die weste van Kiev, miskien 'n nuttige eindstasie by die Kontraktova-metrostasie. Hiervandaan vertrek No.14 tot weswaarts en No.18 na die 'Vokzalna'-stasie. Vertrek ook vanaf Kontraktova na die noorde 11 na die metrostasie Obolon, nr. 19 na die metrostasie Minsk, nr. 12 na die noordweste, 'n bietjie buite die stadsgrens tot die nedersetting Horenka. Vir meer inligting besoek Kyivpastrans webwerf.
Met die taxi
Meeste van die tyd, Uber is baie goedkoop in Kiev en betroubaar. Buitelandse bankkaarte kan normaalweg vir betaling gebruik word, maar die Oekraïense Uber-rekeninge laat ook kontantbetalings toe. Toeriste wat aan Uber gewoond is, sal baie spanning vermy om plaaslike taxi's te hanteer deur daarby te hou. Ander gewilde taxi-toerusting-programme sluit in Bout en die plaaslike maatskappy het gebel Uklon.
Soos met baie voormalige Sowjet-stede, is dit heeltemal aanvaarbaar dat enige motor u stop en oplaai. 'N Ongemerkte voertuig is 'n'gypsy 'cab. Om te ry, moet u eenvoudig met u arm uitstaan. Onderhandel oor 'n tarief wanneer 'n motor aftrek. As 'n reël moet ritte binne die middestad nie meer as 20-40 urn kos nie en dit kan 30-70 грн wees om oor die stad te beweeg (dit hang ook af van die motormodel, die tyd van die dag, die weer en die verkeerstoestande, of julle albei moet by dieselfde deel van die stad uitkom, ens.) Daarom moet u 'n regte straatkant kies, en u geslag en getalle is gewoonlik belangrik vir die prys. Meisies vind informele taxi's gewoonlik makliker en goedkoper as mans. Dit is veilig genoeg in vergelyking met baie stede, maar in die middel van die nag neem u dalk 'n risiko. Dit is die moeite werd om te sê dat die verspreiding van taxi-apps vinnig gypsy-taxi's uit die stad se strate verwyder en onnodig maak en skaars bestaan. Amptelike maatskappytaxi's kan begroet word, of telefonies bespreek word. Daar is gewoonlik iemand wat Engels praat vir die maatskappy. Vra eenvoudig 'pa angliski pazhalusta' (of 'Engels asseblief'). Die operateur sal u 'n kwotasie gee wat u sal red van die soms intimiderende proses om op straat te onderhandel. Taxi tariewe wissel baie. Op dieselfde roete kan 'n plaaslike inwoner 15 urn betaal, terwyl 'n buitelander 60 ure kan haal, terwyl die bestuurder bereid is om te betaal vir 30 urn. Moenie huiwer om te beding nie!
Met die kabelbaan
- 1 Kabelbaan (Фунікулер), Vul. Sahaidachnoho Petra, 3 (laer stasie naby Metro Poshtova-stasie), ☏ 380 44 425-1252, 380 44 254-6590. Somer: 06: 00-23: 00, winter: 07: 00-22: 00. 'N Skilderagtige manier om van die bo-stad af tot by Podil te kom (of natuurlik andersom), is om die kabelbaan vang van Mykhaylivs'ka Ploscha na Poshtova Ploscha in Podil. U kan uitsigte oor die Dnieper en die linkeroewer geniet onderweg. Om die tarief te betaal, koop 'n teken in die kiosk langs die hekke en plaas dit in die toegangsgrens; soms sal die werker in die kiosk jou net deurwaai sonder om die teken te gee, let dus op sy / haar lyftaal en op die rooi / groen pyltjie op die hek. 3 ррн.
Sien
- 1 Khreshchatykstraat (Хрещатик) (Metro: Maidan Nezalezhnosti of Khreshchatyk.). Die middestad van die middestad is party naweke vir verkeer gesluit en vol vermaaklikes en mense wat ronddwaal. 'N Groot gelukkige skare en baie bevorderlik vir mense wat kyk.

Obolon Raion
A part of the city on far north. This territories far beyond of its historical neighborhood with the same name. Its current population is 290,000 inhabitants.- The Obolon district encompasses the territories of the former Minsk district and is still sometimes referred to by that name. It also includes the former town of Pushcha-Vodytsia that used to be part of the Podil Raion. The name Obolon comes from the Old-Ukrainian word оболонь → болонь → болоньє (obolon' → bolon' → bolon'ye), which roughly translates as "flood plain" or an area that is being engulfed by water. The district was built up in the 1970s as a microdistrict in Kyiv on the Obolon sands to satisfy the growth of the city. Due to the composition of the soil at the time, the majority of the buildings were at most nine-stories tall, and few trees were planted when compared to other parts of the city. That and few other reasons originally made the district not prestigious. With the second construction period (2000–2005), the district has seen new, comfortable apartment buildings constructed closer to the Dnipro river and has become an attractive residential area. The new apartments are also more expensive, although still cheaper than in the center of Kyiv. The district was connected by Metro2 in the 1980s, with a station 'Obolon' opened on November 5, 1980. Now here is 'Minska' and 'Heroiv Dnipra' metro stations, too.

Kyrylivs’ka tserkva, Храм св.Кирила та Афанасія Олександрійських, Кириллівська церква), Dorogozhychi, Telihy Oleny str. (Олени Теліги), 12B (M: Petrivka 1.5 km, or M: 'Dorogozhychi' 1.1 km. Mental hospital area. Tram 12, 19 to 'stadion Spartak'). 10:00–17:30. This was established in the 12th century. Dorogozhychi quarter played an important role in the historical destiny of Kyiv. There the fate was solved for many princes pretending to the Kyivan throne on the one hand, and fate of Kyiv itself, on the other hand. Numerous invaders carried out from here their multiple attacks on Kyiv, and Kyivan princes conducted bloody battles with them. Such a strategic importance of this location became one of the reasons for foundation of a monumental church-fortress. In 1139 Vsevolod Olhovych, Prince of Chernigiv approached Dorogozhychi, an important strategic point, on the Kyiv’s north-western outskirts, gained possession of the area and simultaneously obtained a convenient bridgehead at the approaches to Kyiv. In 1140–1146 Vsevolod Olhovych erects St. Cyril’s Church at Dorogozhychi. Construction of a church-fortress is a logical step of Vsevolod as a prince-worrier, and prince-strategist, for the sake of fortifying outskirts of the “capital city” so desired by many. St. Cyril’s monastery is an example of a unique functional combination, because it is a sacred center, patrimonial palace church, and at the same time it is a monumental church-fortress. The church was named after Cyril, the holy hierarch Cyril of Alexandria — Christian patron of the church’s founder, prince Vsevolod Olhovych. - The most precious treasure of the St. Cyril’s Church is its unique mural painting. - In the 12th century walls of the St. Cyril’s Church were painted in fresco technique according to the Christian iconographic canons of that time. In the 17th century the fresco painting of the Church was partially renewed by means of tempera. In the 1800s, during repair of the Church its walls instead of painting were just plastered and whitewashed. - In the 1880s restoration works were carried out in the Church under the guidance of the professor of St. Petersburg University, A. Prakhov. At that time from under centuries-old layers of plaster and whitewash a unique Old Russian mural painting was discovered. However, soon after, in order to provide the mural painting for “grandeur” the frescoes were refreshed with oil paints. In the 1970s a large-scale restoration works on frescoes’ discovery from under layer of oil paint of the 19th century were carried out. - Fresco painting: Monumental figures of twelve Apostles are located in window piers of the dome’s drum. Four Evangelists are portrayed on sails (architectural spherical triangles serving for transition from the drum’s cycle to the under-dome square). The representation of the EvangelisMark on the south-eastern sail has preserved the best of all.- Central arches supporting the dome’s drum are decorated with images of theSeban Martyrs placedewithin medallions literally interconnected by means of loops and hoops. These representations form as if “alive holy chain” protecting the celestial sphere. In the central apse there is a figure of the Holy Mother, Orans with her hands raised in prayer. Oil painting of the 19th century represents the major part of the composition; of the ancient fresco representation only an edge of the Holy Mother’s blue chiton and a podium on which she is standing have survived. Beneath the Orans the Eucharist fresco composition is located featuring the scene of the Apostles’ holy communion, in which the Christ is depicted twice: at the left He serves the body of Christ (bread) to the group of Apostles headed by the St. Peter, and at the right He serves the blood of Christ (cup of wine) to the group of Apostles headed by St. Paul. Similar plot depicting two figures of Christ is already known in miniature of Rossan Code in Asia Minor dated with the 6th century. According to the canon which can be recognized already in the Church of San-Vitale in Ravenna, in the St. Cyril’s Church the center of the composition represents a double dome on pillars over the throne onwhich a cross, a paten with seven round flat breads, a cup of wine and an asterisk are placed. - Belfry: Of the monastic buildings Ivan Hryhorovych-Barskyi constructed within the monastery, his most important construction was a free standing belfry, built in 1760. The belfry combined the idea of a tall campanile with a gate on the ground level and a chapel on the belfry's second tier. The two lower levels of the belfry had some elements of a Ukrainian tripartite church, consisting with the belltower placed over the central part of the nave. This architectural combination in a belfry with two apse-like lower elements on each side. The original roof above the belfry's chapel was a stepped-hipped roof, which was popular at the time. After the fire of 1849, the roof's over the chapel and the cupola were modified from the original. After the Ukrainian SSR's decision on the demolition of the belfry in 1936, the belfry was destroyed a year later, to be used as bricks in construction projects.

Eet
Oor die algemeen is dit baie goedkoop om volgens die Wes-Europese of Amerikaanse standaarde in Kiev te eet. Solank as wat jy wegbly van die plekke wat heeltemal toeriste of die Porsche Cayenne-ryende "elite" is, is die kos heerlik en goedkoop. Probeer die Borscht en die Mlyntzi en probeer dan absoluut al die ander dinge. Gebak is goedkoop en ook wonderlik. Selfs die roomys op straat is wonderlik. Probeer byvoorbeeld die een regs van Khreshchatyk-metro-afrit - blou kiosk met verskillende rye.
As u verkopers wat vloeistof uit groot geel / blou tenks op straat verkoop, sien, kan u seker wees dat dit 'Kvas' is, 'n gebroude brooddrankie. Sommige mense hou daarvan en ander haat dit. Dit smaak 'n bietjie soos mout, en die alkoholinhoud is so laag (0,05-1,44%) dat dit as aanvaarbaar beskou word deur kinders. Probeer 'n "Odyn Malenkyi" (een klein) drankie.
U moet nie die kraanwater drink nie (om chemiese en mikrobiese redes). Dit is raadsaam om bottels in die supermarkte te koop; hulle het gewoonlik 'n Engelse afdeling op die etiket vir "bestanddele". U kan altyd 'Bonaqua' ('n vonkelwater) koop, maar bier is net so goedkoop.

- Chinees: Daar is 'n goeie een naby Metro Universitet. Dit word genoem "Jiu Long", wat "Nine Dragons" beteken (daar is 'n kitskoswinkel vooraf, maar as u deur die boog gaan, sien u 'n hele Chinese styl, dit is waar die regte restaurant is; die kwaliteit is goed en die pryse is laer as sommige ander soortgelyke spoggerige restaurante). As u nie omgee vir die prys nie, gaan na "Lun Van" naby Metro Teatralna. Ander bogemiddelde lokale (maar niemand wat iets soos die regte ding ervaar het, sal bevredigende Chinese kos in Kiev vind nie) Mandaryns op 'n drywende vermaaklikheidskompleks naby die rivierhawe in Podil, en Vostok oorkant die Mandaryns.

Drink
Daar is verskeie lekker plekke in Kiev om 'n drankie te kry. Van klein kafees wat net deur plaaslike inwoners besoek word (hulle lyk op die eerste gesig vuil) tot duur plekke. Plaaslike inwoners koop gereeld drankies (bier) by 'n stalletjie in die straat en drink dit in 'n park, en laat hulle bottels vir haweloses agter om in te samel en geld te verdien. Sedert 2011 is dit egter verbode om bier in die straat te drink, en hoewel u plaaslike inwoners sal sien as u in die straat drink, sal u uself 'n maklike teiken maak vir die polisie om te stop en omkoopgeld te probeer doen. Plaaslike inwoners koop gereeld skyfies of ander soutgoed om saam met hul drankies te gaan.
Die pryse is volgens Europese standaarde redelik redelik. U vind maklik ordentlike Oekraïense bier vir 20–30 urn en kry 5cL wodka of soortgelyke alkohol vir ongeveer 20 urn.
Koffiehuise
As u nie lus is vir alkohol nie, probeer dan een van die oorvloediges koffiehuise. Maak nie saak of hul name bekend en internasionaal is (Starbucks, Costa Coffee, Russiese Coffee House en Shokoladnitsa) of vreemd en plaaslik nie (Coffee Land, Coffee Life en ander soortgelyke variasies), hulle is altyd netjiese plekke met soortgelyke spyskaarte met alle denkbare weergawes van koffie, 'n goeie keuse van tee, fyn melkskommels en smoothies, en 'n verskeidenheid koeke. Hul belangrikste voordeel is gratis WiFi, terwyl die nadeel die pryse is wat taamlik hoog is op Kiev-standaarde. Koffie en 'n stukkie koek begin vanaf 20 g elk.
As u dringend 'n skeut espresso benodig, kan u ook koffie probeer wat op straat verkoop word. Eintlik bied elke tweede kiosk 'n paar kava (Oekraïens woord vir koffie), maar die kwaliteit daarvan is hoogstens sleg. 'N Veilige keuse sou wees spesiale motors toegerus met koffiemasjiene. Hierdie motors is op die meeste openbare plekke en langs die ingange van die metrostasies te vinde. Hulle bied ordentlike wegneemkoffie vir 8-10 ррн.
As u plekke verkies wat nie in elke dorp dieselfde lyk nie en nie deur groot maatskappye besit word nie, moet u die kafee probeer "Sitkamer" in die vul. Spas'ka, 6, naby die metro Kontraktova Ploshcha. Die klein, maar gesellige plekkie word deur sommige entoesiaste en musikante gereël. Twee klaviere en ander instrumente kan deur personeel of gaste gebruik word! Terwyl die meeste kafees om 22:00 sou sluit, is hierdie een oop solank die personeel wil werk. Behalwe uitstekende koffie, bied hulle 'n wye verskeidenheid baie lekker tee, oorspronklike koeke (bv. Beet-sjokoladekoek!), Bier ensovoorts (geen vodka nie). Die kombuis help u met die klein honger.
Kroeë
- Soos 'n Local's Wine Bar, Sichovykh Striltsiv St, 26, ☏ 380 93 682 2626. 16:00-23:00.

Vra personeel vir ander maaltye beskikbaar, asook vir wynbegeleiding. 'N Klein, lewendige plek met goeie musiek en vriendelike personeel. Vanaf 40 g / glas.
Kroeë
- Bar Fidel, Hrushevskoho 4B. Dit is die moeite werd om na te gaan. DJ speel laat op 'n Vrydagaand, en daar word ernstig gekuier en op die skare gekuier in die laagste kroeg / klub in Kiev. Groot pret, oop tot 05:00.
- Blyndazh. (Блиндаж, beteken "verskansing") in die kelder van 15 Mala Zhytomyrska (200 m vanaf Maidan-vierkante). Die bar met militêre tema (dit het die bord verander na Blinde ouderdom met 'n spotprentmol met skakerings daarop). Klein, goedkoop en gewild, meestal studentetipes.
- Orech (Okkerneut), vul Velyka Vasylkivska 126. Klein, goeie verskeidenheid plaaslike biere, wat gewoonlik onbeperkte okkerneute bedien as u bier drink, maar die okkerneutporsies is nou beperk
- Trolliebus. 'N Behoorlike kroeg in Proreznaya St.. Die ontwerp lyk vreemd totdat u met 'n ou trolliebus ry en die sjarme van hierdie vervoer ten volle waardeer. Die kroeg bied luukse Oekraïense bier en 'n verskeidenheid tuisgemaakte drank op basis van vodka, asook die volledige reeks tipiese versnaperings (gedroogde soutbrood, soutvis, calamaris, ens.)
- Viola se Bierstube, boulevard Shevchenka 1a. Goed weggesteek agter 'n donker deur in 'n klein stegie.
Iers
Daar is verskeie Ierse kroeë, geen outentieke nie, maar OK as u 'n Guinness- en expat-maatskappy benodig. Die een is naby Golden Gate geleë (Zoloti Vorota) op Volodomyrska (genoem, gelyknamig, Die Golden Gate-kroeg). Nog een (en die eerste in Kiev) is O'Briens op Mykailivska (een van die strate wat wes van Maidan-vierkante af loop, die een aan die regterkant, met 'n tak van OTP Bank op die hoek). Albei is volgens Kyiv-standaarde duur. 'N Nuwe een is geopen in Podil, op die hoek van Gostyny Dvor, naby die Nederlandse ambassade (kan dit nie mis nie, want dit is naby aan die onderkant van Andryevsky). Belfast-kroeg. Behalwe vir hierdie sentraal geleë, lê ander verspreid in Kiev, hulle maak nie voorsiening vir die voormalige skare nie en het beter pryse as wat u in 'n 'westelike' land sal verwag. Hou jou oe oop. Probeer ook Dockers Pub.
Belgies
There are two Belgian beer cafés.
- Le Cosmopolite Belgian beer café, Volodymyrska St (located across the road from the Golden Gate,close to the South Korean Delegation). Service is in perfect English usually and they do serve Belgian beer and traditional Belgian food (expensive). €1.3 for 0.5l of Stella Artois and €4.5 for 0.33l of Leffe Blond..

- [dooie skakel]D-Lux. Upscale, where a lot of people go to look beautiful, popular on Fridays and Saturdays. Grand, stone steps lead up to the entrance. A well-reviewed restaurant is on the first level. A swanky bar, somewhat in the style of a small Buddha Bar, is on the second level. The disco is on the third and fourth levels, the main dance floor being on the former and extra bars and balconies look down from the latter.
- Faberge Club, Rybalska 22. Also an upscale club, similar to Chaikovsky Deluxe.
- Club Forsage. One of the most known clubs has 3 floors with different music genres, is supposed to have strict face control but you can find some underage students inside, they only look at shoes and make sure its not sport shoes. Entrance on the weekend is 70 грн for men and 50 грн for women.
- Patipa. This is one of Kyiv's dinosaurs, but still one of the most trendy and best visited clubs in Kyiv.
- Shooters, Moskovska 22. This is one of the more traveler and expat friendly clubs (it belongs to a group of Scottish expats).
- [dooie skakel]Sorry Babushka. The interior space of the club is a three-level complex, where each floor has its own concept of music, design, light and sound.
- Stolytsia. An upscale lively place close to the Water Museum. Expensive and pretentious, but beware of the face control, e.g. no sport shoes allowed.
- Xlib-club, Frunze 12. Brings what is called cutting-edge music to Kyiv. The club is neither expensive nor pretentious and exceedingly crowded on Friday and Saturday nights. It's in Podil one of the romantic districts near the Dnieper river.
- A few popular venues are at the Mandarin Plaza shopping mall (Arena Entertainment complex), rumored to be owned by the Klitschko brothers. The clubs include Arena, Sky Bar, Barsky and Grotesque. They're right next to Bessarabsky market; most of the clubs are accessible from the court.

Bly veilig
Kyiv is a generally open and friendly city and stays lively until at least 23:00 in most districts.
Avoid drinking the water from the tap — bottled water is cheap and available everywhere (Morshinska/Моршинська, Mirgorodska/Міргородська is good).
Robberies and swendelary on tourists are fairly common in Kyiv. The best approach is to be extremely selfish and ignore anyone who approaches you. Avoid eye contact with suspicious looking people. If you do get caught up in a scam (such as the infamous wallet scam or the "Look, I've just found money" scam or even if you are stopped by someone claiming to be a policeman), simply ignore the person and walk away, indicate that you want to call your embassy or go to the next police station to get the problem sorted. That will usually shake the person off.
If you are leaving your baggage in the station, it is better to leave it with the guys in person rather than use a locker. Stories have been heard of people 'assisting' with the locker and overseeing the code, then walking off with the bag afterwards.
On the metro, altyd keep your belongings securely zipped as close to your skin as possible. Pickpockets are highly organised and often in gangs that know what they are doing.
There are occasional (rare) reports of visitors being shaken down by corrupt officials, often customs officials. Naturally, the best protection is to make sure that you stay on the correct side of the law and, if there is any question, to keep your cool and not become argumentative. It seems that the cost of an error is surrendering the object in question and paying a "fine." The officials are skilled at ensuring that people who argue miss their flights. Making, or giving the impression of making a phone call to your country's embassy has been known to clear up "problems" quicker than actually paying the "fine" --- or pretend to have a very late flight.
Walking around in the tourist areas (e.g. Maydan) at night there have been instances of groups of police stopping tourists and going through an overly theatrical display of asking to see passport and other documents, and sometimes even search for drugs or other prohibited items. To deal with this, firstly always carry your passport, not doing so will give them an easy excuse to extract a bribe. Secondly, making it clear that you speak absolutely no Russian may help. Lastly, don't given them any excuses whatsoever to threaten you with arrest—just because the locals drink in the street doesn't mean you should. Don't cross the road except at authorised points. Try and follow the rules.
Some thieves like to abuse new tourists, for example, by playing plainclothes cop. They are rarely aggressive. They will go to you only if you're walking alone and don't look too familiar with the town. A bit of resisting usually shakes them off (but not too much since you never know).
There is still some corruption in Ukraine; some services might openly ask you to bribe them to process your request, and denying it might make them refuse to help you.
The people are very tolerant and it is only reasonable to assume that they expect the same in return.

Poskantore
- 2 UKRPoshta Main Post Office (Holovposhtamt) (УКРпошта Головпоштамт, No.1 поштове відділення) (M: Maidan Nezhalovsti), ☏ 380 44 3232020, faks: 380 44 2787969, ✉[email protected]. M-F 08.00-21.00, Sa 08.00-21.00, Su 09.00-19.00. Internet service with printing 8 грн per hr, 1 грн per A4. Post offices in Kyiv, addresses, services, working times. 380 44 2300830, 380 44 2300838.
- 3 No.31 Post-office (No. 31 поштове відділення), Vokzalnaya sq., 1 (M: Vokzalna), ☏ 380 44 2345064, 380 44 2440052, 380 44 2457033. 24/7. The central railway station, on the 1-st floor.
Telephone
Mobile (cell) phones: GSM (900/1800), 3G (CDMA, UMTS) and 4G (LTE) is used in Ukraine. This system is compatible with mobile phone networks used everywhere apart from parts of the Americas and US dominated parts of Asia.
If you have an unlocked phone, you can get an Kyivstar, MTS[dooie skakel], lifecell, or Vodafone SIM card for a few dollars at street vendors which will give you a local number and free incoming calls. Note that some of those cards don't have money on their account so you may want to buy a payment card when you buy a sim card. If you don't have an unlocked phone already, new ones can be had for US$30-40 and a touch cheaper if you buy a pay-as-you-go sim card at the same time. Incoming calls are free in Ukraine so in extremis you can just SMS/text a request for a return call for a small charge.
If you want to use 3G connection, you can get OGO! (ex-Utel) for UMTS and PeopleNet, CDMAUA[dooie skakel] of Intertelecom for CDMA, for mid 2011 last three operators don't have English version of site. For English-speaking visitors, Vodafone and lifecell are both options for a 3G network with English instructions. From experience, lifecell SIM cards come with a plan pre-activated, meaning just inserting the SIM will get you data and a phone number with no interaction required.
If you are roaming in Kyiv, SMS messages do work well. They are confirmed to work for most foreign networks. Do note that the size of the country and the relative low population densities of rural areas means that sometimes there might be 'black-spots' where mobiles will not work. But of course these are away from the main cities/urban areas (and most of the main arterial road and rail routes also have reasonably consistent call signals).
If you are trying to call the US from your GSM phone, you may find that the access numbers for your calling card are blocked. Plan ahead and sign up with a callback service (such as UWT lead-time required) before you start your travels and you can provoke them to call you (at much better rates) when you need to make a call.
Internet
The easiest way to maintain Internet connectivity if you use your own laptop is to buy a 7-day unlimited Lucky Internet callback card. They are about 36 грн at the street kiosks. When you dial in, you will be initially firewalled off from everything until you activate by visiting hul webwerf.
You may also buy wireless internet access for your laptop for about 10 грн per day.
Internet cafés have a good service. They usually have different types of computers with varying prices.
Near the metro station on ul Khmelnytskoho (on the left side at a corner) there is one that is very good, open 24 hr non stop. The cheapest computers cover your basic needs, the most expensive ones are usually for hardcore gamers.
Also most foreigner-friendly cafés (see "Drink" section above) and a lot of fast food restaurants (including McDonald's) offer free Wi-Fi. Some require password to use their access point, ask waiter to get it.
Hanteer
Kyiv was part of the USSR. Some things work well and other things may be broken. There is no point in stressing about this. Arrive with that realization and be prepared to roll with a few surprises.
