The name if topic seems like the name of my blog, But anyway, a lot of guys ask me "What to visit in Ukraine?", "Which place do you suggest to visit in Ukraine", so I decided to write this article and describe shortly al places which you can visit. And you can choose just the most attractive for you.

First of all you need to understand that Ukraine is very big and there are a lot of different places. I mean that there are wooden mountains, Black sea, Asovian sea, big cities, small cities, villages, lakes, kind of desert.... So for people who love mountains, skiing, hiking, I can suggest one places, and for people who love big cities and architecture - another places. Anyway, now I am going to gice you some ideas what to visit in Ukraine

Kyiv

Of course in any country you need to visit the capital. The capital of Ukraine is Kyiv. What to visit in Kyiv?

St.Michael Cathedral, St. Sophia Cathedral. Those two Cathedrals are 1000 years old, they are one of the best cathedral's I've ever seen. If you have never been in orthodox churches, you definitely need ot visit them. St. Michaels cathedral has free entrance, but for Sophia you will need to pay around 5$. Both of them are located in downtown, not far from each other.

Andrew's Descent. This is very historical and famous street in Kyiv. If you love architecture - this place must be the first in your list. But even if you are not interested in architecture so much, there are a lot of street sellers and you can buy some souvenirs, pictures, interesting gifts for your friends. It's street of theatres, restaurants, museums.
Peyzazhna Alleya (Kyiv Fashion Park). Very creative and unique place in Kyiv. There are so many creative modern sculptures. Great place to take a cool pictures. And also you will have opportunity to see the downtown of Kyiv from the high point. It's located near Andrew's Descent.
Museum of WW2. This museum has a very big territory, so you can walking just outside. The most important destination - The statue of Mother Motherland - one of the highest statue in the world. Also you can visit museum inside and find a lot of interesting things, if you are interested in war topic.
Shevchenko Park. It's a great park in the downtown. There are a lot of interesting art things, like benches, statues etc.. In warm season there are lot of people, children, students.. It's great place to relax, make new friends, have a rest and enjoy Kyiv.
Vozdvyzhenka. This is historical area in the downtown, which was totally rebuilt 10 years ago. You can see totally new houses in style of 19 century of Kyiv. You can feel the spirit of old Kyiv, take an awesome pictures and relax in the summer, because this place is surrounded by wooden hills.
Arsenalna subway station. This is the deepest subway station in the world. I would suggest you to visit all subway station in downtown and see how do the look. You pay just once when you enter to the subway and you can spent even the whole day there. So if you have a lot of time and don't have a lot of money - you can enjoy Kyiv's subway.
Arch of Friendship of Nations. Very famous place located in the downtown of Kyiv with great view into the Dnipro river.
Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra - one of the oldest church in Kyiv, with very luxurious interior.
Botanique garden. It's a very big park in Kyiv with a great view into old city and Dnipro river. But the best time to visit it is spring, summer and early fall.
Mamaeva sloboda. It's green park with elements of Ukrainian folk houses, churches.
Pyrogiv. Museum near the Kyiv where you can see all traditional houses of Ukrainians from different region. You can see people in national clothes and try Ukrainian national food.
Mystetsky Arsenal. Art gallery where you can always find some interesting exhibition and spend 3-4 hours educating yourself.
Mariinsky park. Great place in the downtown which looks so good in the green time.
Dream Town. This is huge shopping center where every section is built in different style: Chinese with Chinese restaurant, Italian with Italian restaurants, Brazilian, French, Japanese etc...
Ocean plaza. It's shopping mall with the huge aquarium inside. Some people say that it's the biggest in Europe.
Lavina mall. The biggest shopping mall in Ukraine with singing fountains inside, with entertainment park and thousands of shops and restaurants.

Very cool, I am curious about breweries. I am a beer enthusiast and I have tried Ukrainian, Russian, Latvian, German, French, multiple Asian, muliple Oceanic, Multiple South American, and multiple American craft. I call myself a beer tourist. In Ireland I visit Guinness, Germany HBH, England I tried a few pubs, America I visit new craft places. Even if you do not dribk beer I would like to know? Ukraine beer is good in bottle but better in draft!
