The Ukrainian capital, Kiev, is a city of
contrasts. A sprawling metropolis with an international population of around
three million, the city is also one of the greenest in Europe, with miles of
open botanical gardens and leafy green spaces.

Despite its charms, Kiev is yet
to establish itself as a must-see destination for travellers, and hasn’t made a
big  splash in the English-speaking
online world. But there are a number of brilliant English language resources
that are well worth checking out before, or during, a trip to the city.

 

Ukraine.com - a great place for general information about the country, and naturally it has
several pages dedicated to Kiev. The site is very touristy but a good place to gather general information and
ideas about where to visit.

 

Alissa Ambrose – an American
journalist and photographer whose blog is mainly about Kiev, although she
sometimes detours into other areas. Well worth checking out for her lively
photographs.

 

Kiev’s Facebook Page – a good resource for up-to-date practical information such
as info on changes to metro fares, upcoming concerts, and new venues in the
city.

weekend.

budget effectively.
