Weekend in Kyiv: where to go and what to see this weekend?
Kyiv is a city with a rich history and an incredible number of places worth visiting for both Ukrainians and foreign visitors. And we are sure that the capital of Ukraine can surprise even those who have lived here all their lives. We tell you where to spend a weekend in Kyiv and what to see when you think you've seen it all
The capital of Ukraine is a major European city with a rich history and an incredible number of attractions. However, Maidan and the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra are not the only places that deserve the attention of Ukrainians and foreign visitors, so we offer you a selection of lesser-known but definitely worthy of your attention locations to visit in Kyiv on weekends or even during a regular walk.
Top places to visit in Kyiv
St. Nicholas Church
The author of this building in the center of the capital is the so-called "Kyiv Gaudi", Vladimir Gorodetsky, who designed the famous House with Chimeras. And, strangely enough, even many Kyivites have not seen this church with their own eyes. And it really deserves everyone's attention, because the incredible amount of details in the decoration and sculptures will make you peer at every meter with bated breath.
Address: 75 Velyka Vasylkivska Street (near the Palace of Ukraine metro station)
Khanenko Museum
This is, without exaggeration, one of the most favorite museums among the residents of the capital. And if you haven't been here yet, we recommend that you plan a trip next weekend. The museum consists of two main buildings, one of which is the Khanenko family mansion and a unique historical and architectural monument.

Here you will find the most prominent collections of European, Asian and Ancient art in Ukraine, as well as the art collection of Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko.
Address: 15 Tereshchenkivska Street (Universytet metro station).
Sea Fairy Tale Oceanarium
If you've already visited all the sights of Kyiv, it's time to move on to exploring the underwater world. And the Kyiv Oceanarium is ideal for this purpose, as it features more than 3000 aquatic inhabitants: fish, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. The underwater tunnel located here is worthy of attention, but this is not all the attractions of this place.
