A gathering point and upmarket shopping street, Khreshchatyk ties the Maidan to the rest of Kiev.
This thoroughfare was almost obliterated in the Sec.. Read more »ond World War, and was rebuilt in the Soviet Neoclassical style.
One of the neat things about Khreshchatyk is that during weekends and public holidays road traffic is prohibited and the street fills with families and couples strolling along and checking out the many street performers.
All of the major international retailers are on Khreshchatyk and there’s an wide choice of cafes, restaurants and ice cream shops, with outdoor terraces where you can sit and watch everyone going about their day.
Look out for the palatial TSUM department store, a Kiev institution, as well as the Ukrainian House convention centre and the lively Kiev Passage side street.
