    Some things to note in Kyiv based on the 10 or so times I've visited in the last 2 years: 1) remember Ukraine is NOT (yet) in the EU or the Schengen area - so you may or may not need a visa. UK people don't though you may get asked that at passport control or suchlike. Also the land border between Ukraine and Poland can result in long waits depending on time/day and where you are crossing. Crossing on a Sunday is particularly bad. 2) EU roaming does not apply for phones. When I go to Kyiv from the UK I get charged £2 a minute for calls and £8 per *MEGABYTE* of data. Get yourself a cheap SIM from Kyivstar or another local company while you're there. 3) Finding someone in a shop/restaurant/bar who speaks English can be a bit hit and miss. Younger people tend to know a bit of english, older people usually none at all 4) As Janek mentions, tourism hasn't caught up with Kyiv yet in quite the same way as (say) Prague or Budapest - service can be...erratic and waitresses, hostel staff and such can be a bit surly by western standards. The food is excellent but don't rely on everyone in your group getting their food at the same time 5) there are very few party-type hostels in Kyiv. Maybe even just the one. Many hostels are more like boarding houses with semi-curfews and suchlike. A lot of them have a fair few locals looking for work or between apartments. If you're looking for a hostel place with a bar and more of a party atmosphere then Dream Hostel in Podil is possibly your only option. If you're just wanting somewhere to leave your gear when you go sightseeing, a good hostel can be as little as 5 euros a night. Just read the reviews carefully, especially if you want to check whether there's anyone there who speaks any english. 6) A lot of the nightclubs and bar have quite strict door policies. If they don't like the look of you, then you might as well walk away. Unfortunately in a few places people of a darker shade of skin might find it virtually impossible to get in. Kyiv is not quite the multi-cultural country as those further west. Attitudes from a few might come across as more...shall we say...old fashioned. 7) You can't take suitcases on the metro without buying a second ticket. 8) Wizzair and Ryanair are falling over themselves to do cheap flights from Kviv, Lviv, Kharkiv and Odessa - even if you can't get a direct flight from where you are it might be still viable to go via Poland, Budapast, Bratislava, Riga, Vilnius and a few other places. Many ukranians work in places like Poland so there are cheap fares - we're talking £10 for a one way ticket to Warsaw. That's AFTER taxes. I'm not kidding. 9) Kyiv has Uber. Would strongly recommend it. You can get a 20 minute journey for 2-3 euros. 10) Go to Palata no.6 - that's the bar where if you order certain drinks they set your head on fire. Kind of. Look it up here on KZread. 11) It's "Ukraine" - NEVER "the Ukraine". That's what the Soviets called it. Also get in the habit of spelling it "Kyiv" as opposed to "Kiev". 12) The place Janek showed you Lisova has a HUGE second hand clothes market. It consists of loads of stuff from the rest of europe that's been donated or given away. You will find literally anything from super-obscure football shirts to leather jackets. The good stuff is on the racks but more expensive, the stuff in not so good condition is in good piles but will never be more than about 30UAH per item. Though you might want to keep an eye out for fakes. Some areas of the market have stuff tagged with a price and different days have different discounts. (the next ones were added about a day later) 13) I'm probably asking for trouble adding this - If you're a single guy using tinder or suchlike in Kyiv, expect plenty of matches - however while girls in Ukraine are almost uniformly stunning, you will encounter a number of hookers. That said, they will make it very plain that money needs to change hands very early in the conversation. If a girl asks you to go on viber/whatsapp within a couple of messages, expect the first message on there to be a price list. There are also a few girls who, while not hookers per se, will require money/gifts for their time/company. If/when you do get a date on there with someone who isn't the type mentioned earlier, don't expect to be going back to her place at the end of the night just because you're from the west and have a bit of cash - attitudes are more....traditional over in Ukraine. Go steaming in looking for someone for a one night stand and you'll be quickly called a sex tourist. You will find a lot more ladies looking for a long-term relationship than wanting to hook up. Oh and the gentleman always buys dinner :P 14) Kyiv. Is. Safe. Don't let your local press tell you that Ukraine is "war torn" or some shite. The conflict in the Donbass is like 600-700km away from the capital. If you were in london and a bomb went off in Berlin, would you dive for cover? Exactly. You will see soldiers in the streets of Kyiv, but only in the sense they are travelling to and from places rather than on duty. Besides that and a few more army recuitment or "support our troops" style posters around, you'd never know anything was going on. That said - DO NOT travel to the Donbass region. If you want a bit of danger, go visit Chernobyl. Aside from the usual warnings that apply when abroad like being aware when using an ATM or being on public transport, walking the streets of the city day or night should go without a hitch. 15) Be careful crossing the road - drivers in Kyiv often take red lights as more of a suggestion rather than an instruction.

    I aggree with you! Im half Ukrainian and half Finn. I speak Russian and understand Ukrainian. One more information is that Kyiv is half Ukrainian and half Russian speaking area. Every sign you see in streets or what you hear metro is in Ukrainian but people around you speak Russian. Sometimes people mix those languages and sometimes question in Ukrainian answered in Russian and its normal. But its not political its more practical reason. But have to say number 3) its good to learn some Ukrainian and Russian words. People don't know English. Its also good thing becouse it pushes mass tourism away atm. 7) Suitcases in metro and double ticket. Thats definitely sounds cheating. I had last 10 years everytime big suitcase with me. There is allways bigger gate for bigger stuff or wheel chair(yes funny becouse they even dont have any lift there). Who knows maybe Im wrong and they only let me in everytime with suitcase becouse I speak language. Or maybe paying extra is some new thing. Anyways for me it sounds absolutely tourist cheating/trap 9) ůber is good but if you know language there is other cheaper apps and sometimes normal taxis only 1€ or less. 12)Around the country no matter are you in market place or in mall they have sometimes reals and fakes in same shop. For example underground mall Globus in Maidan they have many shoe shops where you can find fake Nike/Adidas and real ones at the same shop. Be careful if it matters

    Jayfive276, nice tips. But regarding the food. There're significant issues with compliance of sanitary rules in amost all of cafes or restaurants. Even in expensive ones. I don't even want to mention about street-food sale points like "Shawarma" (Doner) and similar - it's total disaster. Can't say that you'll definitely die after tasting this, it's rather the matter of disgust. About drivers: althought the speed limit in the city is 50 km/h, it's not a surprise to see people driving 80-100 on the streets (and more on the avenues - up to 200 km/h at the night). They don't respect red lights. When crossing the road look above: if you see the green arrow (allows turning right on red light but after giving the priority to pedestrians and cars from "green" direction) - be sure they'll treat it as "green light" and may hit you and run away. They same is regarding crosswalks without lights - you need to have the combination of impudence and prudence to cross the street. So, start walking but be ready to stop or retire at any moment. This is often complicated by cars paked just before and on the crosswalk - so, drivers can't see you're going to cross the street.

    I fell in love with this city, and I can't wait to go back! I must admit, I wasn't expecting much before I arrived, and I have never been so wrong. So many historical buildings, amazing (and quite affordable) food, lovely and friendly people... Kyiv is a hidden gem, and it definitely deserves more tourists.

They could easily if they were wise be a bilingual country with ukrainian language as afolklorish sign a little be like Belorussian to which is difficult to find a speaker.
