Kyiv is a really beatiful city with its marvellous hills and
unique sightseeings. Having bunch of trees and flowers it is always associated
with chestnuts. Kyiv architectural landscape is unique. Due 
to
the huge number of orthodox churches it is called sometimes the Gold-Domed
city.
Kyiv, a scenic city of close to 3 million people situated
on the Dnipro River, is the bustling capital of Ukraine. Ancient Kievan Rus,
which reached its greatest period of ascendancy during the 11th and 12th centuries,
was a center of trade routes between the Baltic and the Mediterranean. The
city of Kyiv and the power of Kievan Rus were destroyed in 1240 by Mongol
invaders and the lands of Kievan Rus were divided into princip
alities
located to the west and north: Galicia, Volynia, Muscovy and later, Poland,
Lithuania, and Russia. Once a pow
erful
force on the European scene, Ukraine's fate in modern times has been decided
in far-off capitals. As a result, modern Ukrainian history, for the most part,
has been defined by foreign occupation. But after gaining the independence
by Ukraine in 1991 it significantly restored it's political and economic weight.
Guided panoramic city tour of Kyiv includes the main sights and the traditional tourist favourits ("in view only")
- Starokyi
vska
Hill where Kyiv's first fortress was built and now one can see the remnants
of the foundations of its first constructions.
- Adriyivskyi descent - a thousand years old street connecting in the days
of
Kyiv
Rus-Ukraine the Upper part of Kyiv with the Lower one. Today the Descent
is under the renovation and is stylised in the 19th century spirit. Now
it is the Montmartre of Kyiv filled with the art shops and exhibits, cafes.
The street is full of beauty and charm. This is a traditional place for
concerts
,
festivals, art exhibits, Days of Kyiv Festivals.
- Andriyivska (St.Andrew) church - the real pearl of
Ukrainian and Russian architecture, was built in 1754 by B.Rastrelli in
baroque style, it sprang up on the place where Apostle Andrew overshadowed
for the first time this land with the Holy Cross, and it was the place where
Christianity began to spread among the Eastern Slavs. The church is und
er
restoration and yet not open to public.
- The Golden Gate (erected in 1036, reconstructed in 1982).
- Some monuments - the monument to Prince Volodymyr, who introduced Christianity
in Kievan Rus in 988, the monument to Taras Shevchenko, St.Volodymyr Cathedral
- of great artistic value built in 1882 in neo-Byzantine style. Famous painters
Vasnetsov, Nesterov, Vrubel and Pimonenko worked here. It is a genuine pleasure
to hear the psalms sung by
the
St.Volodymyr Cathedral Choir. This is the Seat of the Patriarch of the Ukrainian
Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate (services are daily at 9 AM and
6 PM).
- The Mariinsky Palace (former Ts
ar's
Palace, built in XVIII c. by Bartolomeo Rastrelli, at present the palace
is used for presidential official functions).

- The buildings of Ukrainian Parliament (Supreme Rada), of Ukrainian Government,
of National University and National Opera.
The foundation of this multidomed, five-naved church was laid by Prince Yaroslav the Wise in honour of his victory over
the Pechenegs in 1037 and it was erected by unknown local masters. As
ancient Rus it was the main metropolitan church and was symbolising the
wisdom of Christianity. At the same time the Cathedral was the centre
of the state social and cultural life. It witnessed the ceremony of the
princes' "seating" on the throne, the debating of the Kiev "veche" (people's
assembly), reception of the West European sovereigns, dynastic rituals,
the foundation of the first Russian library. As you cross the Cathedral's
threshold, you are immediately seized by its grandeur and splendour. Its
majestic size (length-27 m, width-55 m, height-29 m), austere inner proportions
and monumental wall decorations (260 sq. of mosaics and about 3,000 sq.
m of frescoes) dating from the 11th c. overwhelm the visitor with their
perfection. The marble sarcophagus of Prince Yaroslav the Wise, the wooden
carved iconostasis dating from the 18th c. have also survived. Saint Sophia
is not only a national treasure of Ukraine - it belongs to all Christian
world and is under the protection of UNESCO.
A "must see" visit in Kyiv. Founded in 1051 by the monks Antonyi
and Feodosyi. In the 11th c. it became the centre for the expansion and consolidation
of Christianity in Kyivan Rus. In the late 
16th
c. it was designated a title of Lavra. "Lavra" is the term used by the Orthodox
Church for the largest autonomous monasteries. Pechersk Lavra was one of the
most famous monasteries in historical Kyiv Rus State and the former Russian
Empire.
Being a site of pilgrimage for the Orthodox Christians throughout Europe,
for centuries it was an Orthodox Christianity's "Rome". A "cave" is "pechera"
in Ukrainian, hence the name of the monastery. Monks prayed and lived in the
caves which can be visited. The monks were also buried in these caves. The
combination of the cool temperature and soil composition of the caves allowed
the bodies of the dead to mummify. At the time of the monastery's foundation
this appeared to be a miracle enhancing the monastery's prestige. Even today
the bodies remain almost perfectly preserved.
In 12th c. Lavra became a leading religious and cultural centre of Eastern
Europe. Lavra had icon-painting studios and a scriptorium where works of ancient
and contemporary foreign writers were translated into Slavic. The architectural
ensemble attained completion in the mid-18th century. The majority of the
structures where built in the Ukrainian Baroque style. This functioning monastery
consists of numerous churches, towers, and caves with ancient crypts and ecclesiastical
objects. The ensemble is in full harmony with the relief and forms a beautiful
silhouette of Kyiv from the Dnipro River side. In 1926 the Historical-Cultural
Preserve was established on the grounds of the monastery. In 1990 the site
was included on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

The walls were covered with frescoes out of which 800 sq. m have survived. In the 17th and 18th cc. the church was rebuilt in the Ukrainian Baroque style. The paintings by famous Russian painter M.Vrubel and other unique objects have also been preserved. Mainly it operates as a museum. Services are held on major religious holidays.
