Kiev, Ukraine Travel Guide - What To See & Do

Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Kiev, Ukraine.

Kiev is the capital and largest city of Ukraine with - officially - over 2.7 million inhabitants (unofficially up to 4.0 million inhabitants). The city is in north central Ukraine on the Dnieper River.

In Kiev, Ukrainian is primarily spoken by immigrants from Western or Central Ukraine, while most Kievans usually speak Russian, sometimes with a few Ukrainian words (called "Surzhik"). Officially, all signs are in Ukrainian only. Since 2011, signs with Latin transliteration have been installed in the city centre making it much easier for foreigners to enjoy the sights.

Finding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand.
