In the city centre the rate is quite high, you can easily change money there.
But remember that they are not 24-hours open, so you may face difficulties with currency exchange in the evening, in particular after 8pm.
Unique Suggestions: The best way is to change money earlier :)
Fun Alternatives: You can exchange money in hotels but the rate won't be favourable for you.
Usual practice everywhere

Not a tourist trap at all.The KRYSCHATYK(Ive seen several spellings) is Kiev's main street...in the daytime its bustling with commerce and sidewalk cafe's and at night its a good choice for nightlife at a number of the local hotels and restaraunts along the way.
I found Ukranian people mannerly almost to a fault.(If thats even possible)It was quite customary for me to bring a gift when invited to dinner.I usually chose chocolates but I am sure wine is appropriate in many cases.
There was one saying I always heard when leaving that has stuck with me ever since..it went something like..'I apologise if anything that was said or done, while in my house ..,offended you' WOW...how many times I wish Id said that upon leaving a friends home in the USA...maybe I should end every VT page that way.
