It’s time to get acquainted with Kiev. The Ukrainian capital is easy to navigate thanks to the walkable centre and the Dnepr River which bisects the city. One of the great joys of visiting Kiev is to visit its beautiful churches.

The St Archangel Michael’s Golden Domes Monastery, which dates from the 12th century and the 19th century Vladimir Cathedral with its colourful murals are also must-sees.

Day 5: Lviv City Tour

Stop At: Lviv, Lviv, Lviv Oblast
Lviv is Ukraine’s least Soviet city. In fact, you’ll notice that the architecture has more in common with that which you’d find over the border in Poland and across what was once the Habsburg Empire. That’s no surprise as both have ruled Lviv. It was lucky enough to escape being bombed in World War Two, so the churches, towers and grand houses of its historic core are largely preserved in their original state.
During today’s city tour you’ll see the major sights and numerous churches. With its trams, cobbled streets and coffee houses, it’s easy to fall in love with the place.
