This map is a fragment of a good quality Kiev street map from the InorComUa site. A complete map and description of its features can be found at Kiev Map page. Besides that it has a map of the rail and auto roads around Kiev and Kiev Metro lines scheme.
The best variant of Kiev map of course is a regular folding map. You can buy it without any problems once you arrive to Ukraine. Meanwhile, let's look at our screen variant of the Kiev street map. I am writing this article at the end of April. The best time to visit Kiev is May June. It is time when the famous Kiev's chestnuts are in a full blossoming. (Click to enlarge the map in a new window.)
Downtown Kiev is located pretty close to the river Dnieper on its steep right bank. If you decide to take a rest after the whole day of walking, there is a good opportunity to do so. These green areas along the bank are beautiful parks. In the very middle of the map you can see the Khreschatyk street. It a one of the busiest Kiev's streets. It connects Bessarabska Square on the south and European Square on the north.
Bessarabsky farmer market, popular restaurants and stores, active social life and the freshest news, the heart of Orange Revolution - Independence Square everything is here, on Khreschatyk street.
Taras Shevchenko Boulevard starts right at the Bessarabska Square and is perpendicular to Khreschatyk. One of Kiev's few remaining Lenin statues, park named after the famous Ukrainian poet and artist Taras Shevchenko, the beautiful red building of the Kiev Taras Shevchenko National University are located here.
Turn around the corner onto the Volodymyrskaya Street. It is quite possible to spent a whole day there: The Taras Shevchenko Opera and Ballet House, Golden Gate, Saint Sofia Cathedral, The National Museum of Ukrainian History. Three blocks away from St.Sophia Cathedral you will see the St. Michael's Golden Domed Cathedral.
From there Triehsviatitelskaya Street will bring you back to the very beginning of the Khreschatyk street European square. "The Ukrainian House" located there always hosts something interesting: exhibitions, concerts, cultural and business meetings. The famous Kiev Philharmonic is here also.
