KYIV IS UNBEATABLE
About this tour
The ancient city that became the heart of Ukraine
Kyiv is one of the oldest cities in Europe, founded in the 4th century. The capital impresses with a combination of historical monuments, modern architecture and an energetic rhythm of life. During a sightseeing tour, you will immerse yourself in the centuries-old history of the city, which has experienced prosperity, decline, wars and revival.
Historical Kyiv
You will see the Golden Gates - the main gate to the princely city of the 11th century, the majestic St. Sophia Cathedral of Kyiv, which is a UNESCO heritage site, and the Golden-Domed St. Michael's Cathedral, restored after the destruction of the 1930s.
You will walk along Khreshchatyk and Independence Square - symbols of the struggle of Ukrainians for freedom. Here we will remember the founders of Kyiv, make a wish at the Lyadsky Gate and honor the memory of the Heavenly Hundred.
Kyiv during the war
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Kyiv has become one of the main targets of the enemy, who planned to capture the city in three days. However, thanks to the courage of the military and the courage of the capital's residents, Kyiv has stood firm, becoming a symbol of the invincibility of the Ukrainian people.
Today, during a tour, you can see traces of military operations: damaged buildings, destroyed infrastructure, shopping malls, schools and theaters. The city has survived shelling of the TV tower, the Kyiv Maly Opera Theater, as well as rocket strikes near strategic objects.
Preservation of cultural heritage
Despite the danger, Kyiv is concerned about its past. Protective structures have been erected around the most valuable monuments: monuments to St. Volodymyr, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Petro Sahaidachny, Taras Shevchenko, Mykhailo Hrushevsky, as well as sculptures on Mykhailovska Square and the Samson fountain.
The stained glass windows of the Funicular are covered with shields, and checkpoints, concrete fortifications and anti-tank hedgehogs have been erected on the outskirts of the city - a reminder of the invincibility of the capital.

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.
