Keep away from people caring birds, monkeys or being dresses like minions. They are money-sucking machines. Give your $$ rather to awesome street artists.

Always a nice place to visit at just about any time of day. Very central to all the goings on in downtown Kiev.

Located at city center of Kyiv on Khreshchatyk Street in the Shevchenko Raion. The square has been known under many different names, but often it is called Maidan Nezalezhnosti #TravelingKyiv

One of the city's main squares, it is located on Khreshchatyk Street in the Shevchenko Raion. In the 19th century, the square contained buildings of the city council and noble assembly.

Get something to drink and go sit somewhere to enjoy this beautiful square and the people who come here to relax and meet up other people. You can also sit above the 'wall of glass'. Great view!
