Улица Крещатик

Накануне Дня Победы на Крещатике проходила подготовка к параду. Понравилось, что оцепления не было, можно было свободно подойти к боевым машинам, постоять рядом с военными, если повезет, то посидеть за баранкой. Праздничное настроение накануне торжества создавалось доброжелательной атмосферой на красивейшей улице столицы Украины. Да, и, конечно, музыка...

Big and small, rigorous and fun but always new. Lots of sights and history. I like to walk there in the everning during the sun set and drink a coffee in one of the cosy cafes.

Хороший Хрещатик - перекрытый Хрещатик

Для тех, кто любит идти по 2м сплошным :-)

Как ни пройдем, все время перекрыта :-))

Первым делом в киеве отправляйтесь на эту улицу

Очень много чужеземцев, смотрят на тебя голодным взглядом и пристают...бесит однако

The Main Street in Kiev hosts high end retail stores and is the main site of action in Kiev. Independence Square, St. Sophia, St. Michael, and other important sites are along or visible from the street. On Saturday and Sunday a large part is closed to traffic and the street fills with people. Street musicians, performers, and high fashion women wander the street shopping, eating ice cream, and relaxing with friends. At night the buildings along the street glow and heavy traffic persists with club goers and wanderers and couples. Many coffee houses and restaurants are found along the street and under Independence Square is a shopping center. It seems like a street that never sleeps. A walk on Kreshchatiyk exemplifies the elegance of this classy city.

E' la via principale di Kiev, che termina in Piazza della Rivoluzione; è molto larga e trafficata, contornata da enormi marciapiedi, ed è la sede di diverse attività commerciali, di medio livello. Molti palazzi sono belli ed eleganti; peccato per i molti condizionatori, montati sulle facciate con effetti scoraggianti. Non si può fare a meno di percorrerla, nel tratto vicino alla Piazza della Rivoluzione, almeno una volta.

По вечерам и особенно на выходные тут очень много классной живой музыки. Например, зачетные старые рок-н-роллщики.

Just love the atmospehere here on weekends. Underneath the ground there is also all kind of shopping available. Small pancake tents at end of the street are great for lunchin' too.

I'm giving Khreshchatyk Street based on the fact that this place is best seen at around dusk or shortly afterwards on a Saturday or Sunday because the street is closed to traffic and the people take over the streets. Otherwise, it would get 4 stars.I've been here from fall through summer so I've seen this street in all its states. In winter lights are turned on and a big tree is on display. At that time there are also temporary kiosks set up selling winter holiday trinkets. There's a kiddy merry-go-round on one street now that looks a tad out of place but kids like it. In all other seasons cafes expand to outside patios and balconies. It's Kiev's main street to shop at, meet friends, go out to eat in and just generally to walk around because most major sights in the city are walking distance if you know where to go. At night it's lit up and a great place to take a stroll after a long day of sightseeing or to start your day because there are fantastic sights to see in all directions if you start here.
