Golden Gate, Maidan, Khreshchatyk. We all immediately recognize Kyiv by these names. But if you go further… Further than the usual centre, further than the tourist spots, through streets that not every passerby knows. What will be waiting for you there?
If you look at the Dnipro embankment in Podil, you will see a place of power, a place of meetings, a place of relaxation and incredible sunsets.
If you go to Zhytniy Market, you will find a story that its walls keep: unique, multifaceted, and fascinating. It is about people and love for their work, about the culture and identity of Ukrainians.
And on Reitarska Street you will find atmospheric coffee shops-the alleys leading to them are filled with cigarette smoke and coffee. And those lovely old ladies who sell their flowers alongside the ancient Karaite kenesa, which is now the Actor’s House.
My Kyiv is diverse. Its life is in full swing outside the centre. And my team and I will show you this in our photos.
