One of Kyiv's Oldest Streets - Andriivsky Uzviz

This blog does not always have to cover serious topics, so let's take a look at Andriivsky Uzviz, a really neat area to visit when in Kyiv, Ukraine. When I visited Chernobyl last summer, I only had one day remaining to see some sights in Kyiv. Believe me, that is not nearly enough time to see and properly appreciate all that this city has to offer.

Andriivsky Uzviz is a very old road that connects Kyiv's upper city to the lower Podil district. Starting at St. Michael's Church (seen above), wind your way slowly down the street, taking time to admire the amazing architecture surrounding you. While there, take time to visit many of the street vendor tents that cover the area like a daily art fair. If you are interested in matrioshka dolls, this is the place for you! There is so much to see and do here that you should plan to spend several hours seeing all the sights and soaking in the atmosphere.

I wish I had more time to spend around Andriivsky Uzviz, but with only one day in the city, I wanted to see as much as possible. I walked here all the way from the Hotel Rus and was determined to find the Chernobyl Museum once I reached the Podil District.
