Visiting Kiev (Kyiv)
Posted by admin
Kyiv is the city where the new and the ancient create wonderful opportunities for cultural and aesthetical tourism. However, before you visit this fantastic city, take some time to decide on at least 2 questions: where you will spend your nights and how you are going to get around the place.
Let us consider selecting a place to stay. Start by considering your budget and your tastes, you may either choose to stay in a Kiev hotel, or rent an apartment. Count the stars on Kiev hotels to estimate the comfort you require and the price you can afford.
The Ukrainian capital boasts of a number of luxury hotels. There are literary dozens of less posh Kiev accommodation facilities. A five star hotel will cost you around $400-850 per 24 hrs, four star hotels will cost $150-$500, 3 star hotels will cost you about $70-300, two stars will cost from $50 to 120 and 1 star hotels charge around 25-100 per night.
There exist as well several hostels in Kiev for students and young people. In an ordinary hostel you can find unpretentious but fresh accommodation and some sofas or beds in one and the same room.
If you are looking for an opportunity to save some buck, you can rent an apartment. For the cost of a modest hotel room in the price range of $90-150 you could rent an excellent flat in the city center. Single room cheep flats may be found for no more than $50. Many companies that allow you to rent this kind of Kyiv apartments might as well meet you when you arrive. It would be much safer to reserve the apartment some days ahead.
If you are really desperate for money or would like to have something more extreme, you may rent sleeping space in a train compartment. There is a train depot not far from the train station
