Last year we went to Kiev on holiday. I went with Sasha, a friend with school.
We took the train. We stopped at a hotel in the center of Kiev. It was expensive, but there was a very nice view. We tried the national food of Ukraine and most of all I liked borsch.
But the worst thing was the weather. For all the time while we were there all the time it was raining and we really could not walk. But still we managed to see a beautiful park in the center, ride a cable car, post a museum of water and try a lot of national delicious food. I am happy to invite everyone to visit this beautiful city. My advice is to bring warm clothes with you, and before buying home, buy a lot of souvenirs.
