Travelers are unlikely to be able to bypass interesting places in Kiev, but just in case, it is advisable to take a tourist map with you for a walk around the city.
Unusual sights of Kiev
- House with Chimeras: This is an Art Nouveau building with sculptural images of animals and fairy-tale creatures used in the decoration of the facade. Tourists should look at fish, elephants, a mermaid, a panther and other living creatures frozen in concrete (the house is open for visits as part of excursions).
- Monument to the Hedgehog in the Fog: Against the background of this cartoon character - a hedgehog created from pine and needles in the form of self-tapping screws, and holding a bundle in its paws, tourists should take unique photographs.
- Tank graveyard: those who wish will be able to see military tractors, tanks, missile launchers, long-range combat systems and other military equipment through a low fence (judging by the reviews, this object is guarded).
What interesting places to visit in Kiev?
Those wishing to take a walk will be interested in visiting the Rock Garden on Obolonskaya Embankment. Here you will be able to relax on one of the benches, admire compositions made of stones brought here from all over Ukraine, various beautiful sculptures, flower compositions and a fountain with three girls under an umbrella. You can walk in the Rock Garden even at night, since its entire territory is illuminated by lanterns.
Those who are familiar with the Ukrainian capital are advised to visit the Museum of Microminiatures (visitors are invited to view the portrait of Gagarin in a grain of thorns, a chessboard on a pin, a windmill in a poppy seed, a shod flea and other exhibits using a microscope), Museum of trolleybus tickets (guests will be shown a large collection of travel documents and the one who brings a ticket that is not in the museum's funds will receive 0.5 liters of beer in the Trallebus pub as a gift) and Experimentanium (thanks to 250 interactive exhibits, visitors will be able to touch science, launch a cloud under the ceiling, blow a giant bubble, visit the acoustic room and conduct various experiments).
Another place worthy of the attention of travelers is the Motherland: those who wish can visit the Museum of the Great Patriotic War and viewing platforms with powerful binoculars (amazing views of Kiev open from here), where they will be taken by an elevator (one viewing platform is at an altitude of 36 m, and the other - at a height of 90 meters).
And if tourists want to experience the Prison Break attraction, they should look into the Blockbuster entertainment center. Cleverness and skill will help the players to get out of the prison (they will have a “walk” over the abyss, moving along the pipes and other obstacles reflected in the diagram).
