Welcome To Kiev

Situated in the very heart of ancient Kiev and next to three main Ukrainian orthodox churches—St. Sophia, St. Michael and St. Andrew—the location of the InterContinental Kiev is truly unique.

RECOMMENDATIONS
MORNINGWake up to the amazing glow of the golden domes of the city's numerous Cathedrals reflecting the sunlight against an azure sky. Start your perfect morning in a quiet Wolkonsky Kayser Cafe. The fresh baked goods, coffee aroma and friendly relaxing atmosphere will awake your desire to explore the city. Take a walk to one of the oldest parts of Kiev, Lypki, and admire the outstanding architecture of the House with Chimeras, the most interesting tenement in Kiev. The facade is decorated with the statues of exotic animals and plants, dolphins and sea nymphs. |
AFTERNOONAs you continue your exploration of the city, you will pass one of the greenest spots in Kiev – Mariinskiy Park, the grounds of the Mariinskiy Palace. Walk through shady alleys, take a picture of the ancient fountain in the middle of the park and visit the Palace – originally built for the Royal family and now used for special government receptions. For authentic 18th Century royal dishes, stop at Lipskiy Osobnyak. Make sure to try ‘carre of lamb’ and, of course, select your wine from the most extensive wine list in Ukraine. |
EVENINGA wonderful way to finish your Kiev day is to have the Concierge team arrange tickets to the National Opera. It is not only one of the oldest but also the most beautiful in Europe, having won a World Architecture Award. There is no doubt that you will enjoy an outstanding performance. A dinner at the nearby Italian tavern, Pantagruelle, will be a perfect end to your evening. Taste homemade pasta and a glass of wine on a cosy terrace. On your way back to the hotel, listen to the beautiful music coming from the bell tower of the St. Sofia Cathedral. |
