KYIV IS UNBEATABLE
About this tour
An ancient
city founded in the 4th century and our capital. Kyiv impresses with old
churches, modern high-rise buildings, cultural events and a dynamic rhythm of
life.
During the
sightseeing tour, you will immerse yourself in the ancient history of the city.
See the Golden Gate, which served as the main gate to the princely city in the
11th century. Sophia of Kyiv is an 11th-century temple that survived the
Tatar-Mongol invasion, and is currently part of the UNESCO heritage, St.
Michael's Cathedral, which was restored after the devastating 30s of the 20th
century. Then we will visit the main street of the city of Khreshchatyk and
Independence Square - our main symbol of the struggle for freedom.
Here we
will see the monument to the founders of Kyiv, make a wish passing through the
Lyad Gate, and honor the memory of the Heavenly Hundred.

The capital of our country was the main target of the Russian invaders from the beginning of hostilities, which they planned to capture in 3 days. But thanks to the professionalism of our military and the courage of the local territorial defense, Kyiv survived, once again proving the indomitability of the Cossack spirit and the indomitability of the Ukrainian people. The aggressor to the whole world justifies his actions in relation to our country. And the main task of a courageous people is to convince everyone that the truth is on our side, attracting as many people as possible to witness these terrible crimes. You can list for a long time the areas in which residential buildings, commercial real estate and infrastructure objects, schools, kindergartens were crushed by rockets - these consequences are visible everywhere. The shelling of a shopping center in the Podilsky District, the damage to the TV tower near the Dorogozhichi metro station, the mutilated facade of the Kyiv Small Opera Theater on Degtyarivska Street are just the tip of the iceberg. In addition, as a result of the bombing of the city, the occupiers hit the radioactive waste storage facility of the Kyiv branch of "Radon Association". In Kyiv, the city authorities and volunteers urgently resorted to the protection of sculptures and monuments, architectural structures that have a huge historical and cultural significance for the planet. In particular, protective structures were erected around the monuments to St. Volodymyr on the slopes of the Dnipro, Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, Peter Sagaidachny, Taras Shevchenko, and Mykhailo Hrushevskyi (near the University). Sandbags protected the Samson fountain, the sculptural composition on Mykhailivska Square (Princess Olga, Andrew the First-Called, and enlighteners Kirill and Methodius), the Dante Alighieri monument, and the Magdeburg Law monument and column. And you won't see the stained-glass windows of the Funicular, famous for their beauty - they are covered with shields. Also, the construction of roadblocks and defensive fortifications, especially on the outskirts of the city: concrete blocks, sandbags and anti-tank hedgehogs became a common feature of the capital's landscape.
