Khreshchatyk Street

Kyiv's main artery, Khreshchatyk, is closed for traffic on weekends and holidays, and this makes shopping experience even more convenient. With its Globus Mall as well as numerous separate stores – both high-end and affordable –Khreshchatyk attracts hundreds of tourists and shoppers every day.

Shopping

Looking at the variety of shops and department stores in the streets of Kyiv makes it hard to believe that just a couple of decades ago, shopping was practically non-existent. Today, you can find anything and everything in the fashion-conscious Ukrainian capital: while TsUM department store is known as "Kyiv’s Harrods" and the posh Mandarin Plaza for its moneyed shop, Dream Town is more down to earth. Markets, bookstores and wine boutiques fill the bustling Ukrainian capital and they will keep you busy for days on end, if you just let them.
