Отзывы - Улица Крещатик

weekends are best when the traffic is with-held. And don't forget the shops underground!!.

In this street you will find all, from ordinary people, to street entertainers, to the people selling all sorts of things. Shops all along the street will allow you to get rid of some of your extra money without any problems. Access to underground market is also an interesting option to see an interesting attraction as well as a nice variety of shops.

Крещатик был для меня второй достопримечательностью после аэропорта "Борiспiль". Из Одессы я вылетала в +20, а прилетела в +4) Поэтому, для меня было важно за несколько часов, что у меня были до следующего самолета, уже на Москву, посмотреть Киев хоть одним глазком. Там действительно многолюдно, но ведь это одна из главных достопримечательностей города. Город очень интересный, радушный. Если даже между рейсами будет пара часов, не сидите в аэропорту, который тоже очень красив, а посмотрите на город, хоть чуть-чуть!

Место супер все рядом, чистота, уютно, по вечерам можно наблюдать живую музыку и танцоров

Крещатик перестал быть тем Крещатиком, по которому так любили гулять киевляне и гости и превратился в базарную и шумную улицу

The main street of Kyiv is indeed the cornucopia in itself - its abundant in history, in entertainment, eateries and last but not least, shopping centres. Champs Elisees of Kyiv, as they call it, still has a long way to go to quite deserve the comparison - bit still Soviet-style, bit too unattended when busy, bit yet work-in-progress.To start with history, the street's name originates from the Slavic word "Cross", which it reminded originally in shape. Almost fully destroyed during WWII by the Red Army - plenty houses were stuffed with explosives and then blown when the Nazis came in. Rebuilt in Stalin era and all buildings are consistently massive architecturally along the street.Was rated amongst the 20 most expensive shopping streets in the world, so you can imagine there is little competition in the retail segment in Ukraine, thus ridiculously expensive shopping with usually poor assortment and quality, as compared to European equivalent brands. But for the sake of objectivity, shopping is indeed abundant on the street, just pricey. The main shopping mall of the Soviet Kyiv - the TSUM - is being currently renovated - the project is owned by the wealthiest man in the country and is thus set out to succeed - reported to still retain the Stalin-era shell but inside design to offer ultra hi-tech interior, so myself intrigued to see the combination.Entertainment-wise, weekends are bountiful in street-performings or even staged concerts - as the street is then blocked for cars and is traffic-free. Famous art center is situated at the end of it on the Bessarabska square - where Khreshchatyk ends and the other end of the street flows into Independence Square - the birthplace of the legendary blank Orange Revolution. Otherwise, as on any main street of any European capital - some more than others - beware of the pick-pockets and enjoy your time)

круто, историческое место, много всяких госучреждений, умных и занятых дядек. не забывайте снимать каблуки, там щебенка.таксисты злые, чурки с больными писями,все остальное супер.

if you wish to walk by late night dont be alone and dont forget your passport :)

особенно хорошо здесь рано утром - когда людей мало: каштановые аллеи, старинные дома.

E'il cuore pulsante di Kiev di notte e di giorno!!!..grande vialone come le champs di parigi!!..grandi marciapiedi da entrambi lati pieni zeppi di negozi fast food e centri commerciali di ogni genere!!..il traffico e'limitato per tutto il giorno e nei fine settimana addirittura chiuso...nella piazza centrale e nella strada stesso fanno un sacco di manifestazioni e concerti!!!lRicordo che Kiev come tutte le grandi città sovietiche ha un vasto sotterraneo pieno di negozi!!che servivano a ripararsi dal freddo..ci sono pure tre fermate metro!!!....

Every possible store imaginable but beware hardly anyone speaks any English even in the big department store chains

Самая широкая улица Киева, и одна из самых красивых. Редко там бываю из-за большого количества приезжих...
