About Kiev
Kiev, also spelt Kyiv, is a green city of golden-domed churches, tree-lined hills and broad boulevards on the high bank of the Dnieper.
Kiev rises on the hills of the Dnieper's west bank and is among the oldest cities in Eastern Europe. It was the centre of Kyivan Rus, the medieval state that adopted Christianity in 988. The eleventh-century Saint Sophia Cathedral, with its Byzantine mosaics and frescoes, and the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery of golden domes and cave catacombs above the river, are together a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Top-ranked sights in Kiev: Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti), St. Sophia Cathedral, St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery.
