Kyiv
A well kept secret
Kyiv has a monument on almost every street you use and every ancient building has a story behind it that most likely informs or explains the present.
Kyiv, the historic and ancient Ukraine capital, offers a better benchmark on the preservation of historical assets, monuments and buildings.
With its wealth of restaurants, Kyiv is a great place to sample Ukrainian cuisine at any price. For budget-minded travelers, popular local chain Puzata Hata offers simple but traditional Ukrainian dishes at an incredibly low price, allowing everyone to discover the chicken Kyiv and borscht without breaking the bank. In the same vein, check out Varenichnaya Katyusha, which specializes in dumplings known as vareniki. In general, every restaurant will serve a selection of Ukrainian soups, even pizzerias or sushi bars. So don’t be afraid to experiment and find a new favourite.

The National Museum of the Holodomor Genocide in Kyiv is a statement of preservation of a country’s history and testament of the resilience of the Ukrainian people.
The Holodomor was a manmade famine in Soviet Ukraine between 1932 and 1933, which killed millions of Ukrainians.
Inside the museum is a record of the victims, well documented with the cause of death, which is hunger.
