Kyiv is a great city for cycling. That's why our managers have developed some great routes for you to enjoy the beauty and real gems of the capital. Stay with us and choose the best locations for your bike rides!


Route #1 - Trukhaniv


This is an optimal route for beginners, it contains a minimum number of ascents and a large number of descents. You will be able to get to know all the wonderful places and remote corners of Trukhaniv Island. Let's take a closer look at the main locations of this route.



Postal Square


Poshtova Square is one of the oldest squares in the capital and is the real gateway to Podil due to its location between the Upper and Lower Town. It is on Poshtova Square that the Church of the Nativity of Christ, the building of the old postal station, and the River Station are located.

Next to Poshtova Square you will find the Pedestrian Bridge leading to Trukhaniv Island, which is an ideal place for relaxing, sunbathing and cycling. Skateboarders and longboarders often gather on Poshtova Square, and you can also try bungee jumping here. Pleasure boats depart from the river piers, and in the warm season, the Bukhta food court with restaurants serving various cuisines is also open.



Pedestrian bridge


From this place you can enjoy an incredible view of Kyiv. It is the Volodymyrskyi Pedestrian Bridge that connects Khreshchatyi Park and Volodymyrska Hill. Here you can see the Friendship of Peoples Arch, Volodymyr's Hill, the monument to Prince Volodymyr, the funicular, St. Andrew's Descent, St. Michael's Golden-Domed Cathedral, and many other wonderful places in our capital.

Glass railings and transparent pavement areas are an original design technique that turned the building into a popular insta-location. Every day, thousands of visitors take pictures on the glass "windows" in the floor.


Dniprovska embankment


This place is a real pride and business card of the city, because the embankment is the longest in Europe! The Dnipro embankment, which is 20 km long, is a favorite place for Kyiv residents and visitors to promenade.

Here you can see the White Swan light and music fountain, the glass Ball of Desires, the Dnipro Circus, and a 50-meter-long family bench. The Dnipro embankment is decorated with a green boulevard and fountains, and there are many restaurants, bars, cafes, attractions, and entertainment complexes along it. From this place you can admire the magnificent panorama of Monastyrskyi Island and the Merefo-Kherson Bridge, as well as see the artificial waterfall "Roaring Threshold".
