St. Andrew's Church

I visited just before the start of war, so my review is based on my experience at that time. One of the most beautiful churches in Europe, imo. Set in an amazing setting. Visit at night if you can as the lights make it even more spectacular.

Of all the architectural marvels I've encountered in my travels, St. Andrew's Church in Kyiv holds a special place in my heart. The sheer beauty and significance of this structure is unrivaled. One day, when peace graces Ukraine again, I eagerly await my return to Kyiv, where I will stand in front of this magnificent building, celebrating with a heartfelt visit and a smile. Such places serve as reminders of the timeless beauty and resilience in our world. Similarly, with two decades of experience in personal training, I've come to appreciate the dedication it takes to craft something exceptional, whether it's a historic monument or one's own well-being. For those seeking to shape their own enduring legacies, be it physical or mental, guidance can make all the difference.this building guided me many times as it light up the kyiv nights sky and inspired me to think and plan many action steps in my life. I hope more of you will also benefit from the magical energy of St. Andrew's one day soon 🙏🏻🌆🏰🌟💪🏼

The Cathedral is truly beautiful, if you enjoyed the Vatican city then you will like this place. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is no photography inside, and there are lots of stern looking ladies sitting inside that will stare at you in you get your phone out. There are also a few beautiful artifacts, such as the image of Mary made from painted Easter Eggs. There is a scale model of ancient Kyiv with a free speaker in multiple European languages that last about seven minutes. There were tours available but only in Ukrainian/Russian on an adhoc basis. The Bell Tower provides views across the city. Watch out for the metal post about ten steps up. You quickly realise that you need to duck to avoid it. The steps are not crazy small, and they are broken up by the viewing platforms. The tower in Princes Street in Edinburgh is much tighter and busier than when I went in late December, but until you get to the first viewing platform the steps do get quiet small. A combined ticket was 200, roughly 6 euros in Dec 2018.

This is a very beautiful baroque church built in the 18th century. This church has one of the best panoramic views of the city, and in my opinion it’s one of the “must see” points in Kiev. Ticket costs only 20 UAH (you can buy it in front of the church). The church itself isn’t big, it is now under renovation and it was not possible to see it from inside. But the walk around with all the fascinating views at the city is totally worth the visit. I would recommend to go there when weather is good, so you can enjoy the scenery better.

A very beautiful place to be. 9/10

A unique Christian church that does not have bells. The church has its own observation deck, from which you can clearly see the left bank of Kyiv and the Dnieper River. The church just opened after a complete restoration.

Nice church but the area surrounding the church is amazing. There are several viewpoints over the city and Andreievskyii Spusk is just a beautiful artsy street, probably it is the Ukrainian Montmartre. Lost of artists and handcrafts for sale, a few art-galleries, cute cafes and nice restaurants

One of the most beautiful churches in Kyiv. It is located in z very interesting and historical places, Andriivskii descent. The history of this place and this church is very interesting. Right close to the church you would be able to find an art market and through it you would be able to get right to the city center. Besides, lots of different events occur there, so you might be happy to get just in the middle of the Caucasian week or right on the Lazer show.
