City Guides 


There are not many city guides available for Kiev in other European capitals. You can buy guides to Ukraine, but in such a vast country they cannot do Kyiv justice.
Two books to look out for here when you come to Kyiv or online are Awsome Kyiv and Touring Kyiv.
Touring Kyiv uses lots of graphics and pictures and minium text. The book was designed for tourists coming to Kyiv during the UEFA European Football Championships in 2012. It is therefore 5% dated - but still a great guide.
Awesome Kyiv is more of a concise "best of" definitive collection of unusual and classic things to do, and facts about the city.
Two weeks before Eurovision a new book in English has been published:
Kyiv by Locals is a collection of photos of the city by people who live in the city with English-language subtitles explaining the shots.
There's also a number of useful websites:
The city tourist board website:
http://visitkyiv.com.ua
Enjoy Ukraine: This is an official tourist information site.

Go2Kiev.com: http://www.go2kiev.com/view/thrilling-kiev.html
Interesting Kyiv: This is a site for a walking tour company, but has useful information.

Addicted to You (2002)  Ukrainian Pie   KYIV DESTINATION: Pie shops If you stand by St Sophia's cathedral in the upper city, you will notice a pink tower in a nearby street.  This is the 19th century fire station watch tower. Diagonally opposite the forestation is a restaurant called Штолле - or Stolle  http://stolle.com.ua/en/ .   This chain specialises in Ukrainian pies (Pirog). Pie is a very complex affair in Ukraine with a variety of vegetarian, meat, fish and fruit centres. Pie is a meal in itself. The fillings combine vegetables and meat and flavours. Examples include Cowberry pie, Rabbit and Mushrooms Pie, Herring Pie, Cherry Pie and Brocilli Pie, among others. Each pie is enormous and can feed a large family. In Stolle you can buy slices or a whole pie to eat in or take away. The store / restaurant is currently undergoing refurbishment ready for Eurovision! If you prefer something smaller than a Pirog, then you c...

Believe'n'Peace (1999)  Maltese Connections  EUROVISION COUNTRY: Malta KYIV DESTINATIONS: Maltese Restaurant Porto; Dog friendly cafes in Kyiv Unlike many other European cities, Kyiv can boast of it's own Maltese restaurant, called Porto  http://porto-rest.com/en/ , which provides excellent (if expensive - at €20 a person) fish and southern Mediterranean dishes. It has been completely renovated last year. Below we show the before on the left, and the after on the right. Porto is located very close to Olympiska metro station, a corner kick away from the main football stadium. All is not what it seems, however, as the chef/owner is Serbian! The same can be said of another "Maltese" institution in Ukraine: The Sovereign Order of Malta:  http://forbes.net.ua/nation/1400976-posol-maltijskogo-ordena-v-ukraine-nasha-tradiciya-so-dnya-osnovaniya-byt-s-temi-kto-stradaet-i-n   The Order of Malta is a government without a territory or political or econ...
