Best Kiev holiday apartments

With a population of nearly 3 million, Kiev is the largest city in the Ukraine. Located on the Dnieper River, this ancient city has a long and illustrious history, and a huge selection of museums, galleries and historical sights provide a fascinating insight into the country’s past. There is also a strong sense of community amongst the local people of the city, and the best way to immerse yourself in it is by staying in a vacation rental in Kiev at the heart of a local neighborhood.

Relax in Kiev in your Vacation Rental from 9flats.com

Whilst being one of the country’s biggest tragedies, the Chernobyl disaster is an important aspect of Ukrainian history, and it has been commemorated in Kiev’s Chernobyl Museum. The exhibits and artefacts concentrate on the human tragedy rather than the technical aspects of the world’s worst nuclear leak. The Kiev Pechersk Lavra is one of the most revered and ancient monasteries in the country. Dating back to the 11th century, the monastery was originally excavated by monks who used the caves to hide away from the rest of society. Just outside Kiev is the Open-Air Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Life which depicts what life was like for farmers and rural dwellers before the industrial revolution. This vibrant and culturally rich city is packed with exciting sights to explore, so you will need a comfortable base in which to relax after a day spent sight-seeing. A vacation rental in Kiev City Municipality will give you your own refuge away from the tourist throngs as well as the element of luxury that most hotels lack.

Luxurious and Secluded Accommodation in Kiev

A great day out in Kiev involves catching a local train and heading off to Hidropark Island. Located in the Dnipro River, the island boasts some scenic inner-city beaches that are perfect for a range of leisure pursuits as diverse as sunbathing and beach volleyball. Alternatively, you can take a leisurely stroll around Podil – taking in sights such as St. Michael’s Cathedral, Poshtova Ploscha and the old ‘merchants quarter’. If you’re in search of a little retail therapy, Kiev has a thriving retail district, and the Metrograd shopping centre boasts a number of global retailers as well as a few locally-based retail brands. However, visiting this ancient city should always involve experiencing local customs and traditions and how the city’s residents live their day-to-day lives. A private rental from 9flats.com will put you right at the heart of a residential community, so you can live the local life rather than admiring it from afar.
