Old streets of Kiev
by crewsada
This is the oldest street in Kiev and is remarkably wyndy and still has all the old cobbles on the road way. It is usually has many market stalls on the left-hand side selling everything frmo traditional sweets to paintings or Russian dolls. Takes a good ten minutes to walk down and is a must to be vistited if there is some time to spend in the capital.
WEATHER

You can not be sure about weather conditions at this part of Europe, even though it was summertime. My first two days were cloudy and drizzly, but then the next days were blessed by a bright sun and heat. So check out the forecast before your departure in order to pack up proper clothing. If you visit the city in winter months I bet it can be bitterly cold.

Khreschatyk for people only !
by Klod5
It is new, for me !
I have'nt see this on my other travels in Kiyv, on the past, but Yulia ( Giulia_ua on VT ) write me : " By the way, you can walk on Khreschatik on weekends and holidays for last 4 years. "
In Kiev, in april 2003, one taxi driver explain me : " Since the beginning of the year, every Sunday, Khreschatyk is delivered to the only pedestrians. "
It is spectacular to see the inhabitants of Kyiv thus invading the pavement, in family. I finally discovered some rollers, and many artists of streets. I can only greet with enthusiasm this initiative, and I hope that the spaces reserved to the only pedestrians are going to appear in this immense city.
