Visiting Kiev (Kyiv)

Kyiv is the city where the modern and the old create excellent possibilities for historical and aesthetical tourism. Nevertheless, before you become a visitor to this incredible city, take some time to figure out at least two things: where you will spend your nights and how you are going to get around the place.

Let us discuss choosing a flat. Start by considering what you can afford and personal preference, you can either choose to rent a room in a Kiev hotel, or rent an apartment. Count the stars on Kiev hotels to evaluate the comfort you require and the price you can afford.

Kyiv boasts of several five and four star hotels. There are literary dozens of less chic Kiev accommodation opportunities. A luxury hotel will be approximately $400-850 per 24 hrs, 4 stars will cost $150-$500, 3 star hotels will cost you about $70-300, 2 stars will be from $50 to 120 and small and one star hotels cost around 25-100 per night.

There exist also several hostels in Kiev for students and young people. In a regular hostel you can have unpretentious but fresh accommodation facilities and some beds in one room.

In case you are looking for an opportunity to save some buck, you can rent an apartment. Instead of a small hotel room for about $90-150 you could rent an excellent apartment in the downtown. Single room cheep apartments may be rent for less than $50. Many companies that give for rent this kind of Kyiv apartments might as well meet you at the airport. It would be much safer to reserve the flat some days ahead.

If you are really desperate for money or want to experience something spicey, you could rent a sleeping berth in a train. There is a train depot not far from the train station
