Отзывы - Улица Крещатик

If you are waiting a street culture like bagdat street in İstanbul, İstiklal in İstanbul, Vi veneto in Rome, champs elyssee in Paris, 42. in NY or even La croissette in Cannes.....Do not over estimete:)Just an old Soviet Boulvard ...wide...and that's all.

Lots of shops to peruse and shop from. The better restaurants are located parallel to or off Kreshchatyk, so try and vere off the main road to find some treasures.

Every time our family comes to Ukraine, we make sure to visit it's capital Kyiv and it's main street Khreschatyk. The area around Майдан Незалежності (the Independence Square) is usually closed off, so only pedestrians can enjoy the street. One can see here various street performers, enjoy shopping at high quality stores, and of course don't forget to visit the Бесарабський ринок (The Bessarabian Market).

This is the main street of Kiev, where you should be at day and at evening. All kind of shops (but particularly 'western-type') can be found. Food and drink is sold. In the week-ends the street is closed to cars so that it is transformed in a huge "quai" where people enjoy walking or roller-blading. Along the street you can also find people dancing, playing music or engaged in other forms of 'road-art' in order to attract tourists or simply gain a little money. Very typical - at least in this period - is the presence, along the street, of two big areas where supporters of the ruling party (i.e. Yanukovich) and opposition (i.e. Tymoshenko) gather to promote their agendas and gain supporters. You will hear speeches and music and see people gathering there.

Lots of restaurant options along this street. You can wander around and look for anything from Georgian cuisine to American. It's also close to the tour boat terminal, so you can take a scenic cruise and then go out to dinner afterwards.

Polecam spacerek po Kreszczatku, zwłaszcza w ładną pogodę w stronę Majdanu wieczorem.... miło :) Zreszta w okolicy znajduje się wiele ciekwych miejsc, do których warto rpzejść piechotą.

This very long street contains a multitude of shops and restaurants, enough to please most people. But the fascination for me was the people watching which surely must be a national pastime! I spend several days at various times in the street, sometimes just passing through and at other times sipping coffee and enjoying Kiev at its best. Always changing but always interesting, Kheshchatyk Street is a fascinating look into the lives of Kiev residents and their culture. If you want to compare the height of high heels then this is shoe paradise! Kiev's best street is a cultural melting pot and I loved every visit! Don't miss it!

In the summer, it is a bit more interesting than in other seasons. Have a drink at Shato and watch the pretty girls walk by. Eat a pastry at a cafe in the Passazh and wash it down with alcohol-fortified espresso or fresh squeezed juice. Find the wizened oldtimer selling berries and pick yourself up some delicious berries in season: blueberries in June, raspberries and blackberries in July and August. Buy flowers for your Ukrainian date at the Bessarabian market. Go the the large bookstore just off the corner with the street Bogdana Khmelnitskogo (opposite side of the street from the state department store TsUM) and buy yourself a street map of Kiev and go explore the city. TsUM, currently closed for restoration, is not really worth visiting unless you need something basic like an umbrella. Skip the High Street clothing outlets on Khreschatik like Marks and Spencer and Mango - it is cheaper to shop in London, where you get better selection and variety as well.

This Street is a good shopping street during the week,and the underground mall beneath Victory Square is interesting,but the place really comes to life at the weekend,when traffic is banned.There are all sorts of entertainments,and the families of Kiev come out in force to enjoy them.Most are free.There is generally a large stage at the Victory Square end,with rock and pop performers,and frequently smaller stages.There are quite a few musicians and buskers playing the street,and troupes of dancers,both modern and traditional.There are lots of food tents,and street sellers,and men offering bets that you can't ride a bike whose handlebars work the wrong way round!( you can't...it's SO hard!).This ten lane wide street is full of fun and entertainment,and aside from the food,and some sellers,is mostly free.Its nice if you can donate a little,but no pressure.If you're in Kiev on holiday,the weekend here is not to be missed.Another tip....take a river boat for a trip down the Dnieper....great on a sunny day

The central street in Kyiv. On weekends it's a walking street- they close it for cars.Lots of shops and restaurants. someone likes the street someone thinks it is not a city face. but for the first time in Kyiv I liked and haven't match anything bad there. nice to walk in a good weather and look around or stop at some cafe and try some ukranian food or just a cup of tee..

It is a place just to walk, but also to shop and see the contingent going around. Not to mention the lots and lots of bars and restaurants!

Met zoveel jaren Stalinisme ontkom je er niet aan dat de hoofdstraat vol staat met groot en groter. Heerlijke Stalinistische glorie. Het vrijheidsplein, waar eens de oranje revolutie startte is erg mooi.
