Kiev videos.
A virtual tour through the beautiful city.

Kiev videos, presented on this page, will open for you a tiny door into the ancient and forever young city. Kiev has so many faces and things to amaze you, that you will never be able to say: "I know Kiev very well." I suspect it won't happen ever. Perhaps, it is one of best Kiev's attractions - to amaze its visitors again and again.

It is not an easy problem "to show Kiev". What is Kiev famous for? What are the most interesting places in Kiev to see? What do these Kiev videos have to demonstrate to reflect a real Kiev's look? It sounds like pretty doubtful venture to present a complete picture of Kiev. Well, let's try to draw the picture piece by piece.

The first of Kiev videos starts at the recently renovated railroad station. A short look at the Dnieper river and its left bank where about 1/3 of Kiev's population has lived and you are downtown Kiev. It is the very heart of Kiev - the most famous and busiest Khreschatyk street and Kiev's major square - Maydan Nezalezhnosty. They are full of life as usually even at night. Let's watch.

The city of the golden domes, the Jerusalem of the lands of Rus. Under these names Kiev was well known for centuries as one of the largest centers of Christianity in the world. Kiev Churches are an easily recognizable image of the city architecture. Kievo-Pecherska Lavra or Kievan Cave Monastery is the real gem among them. These two short videos show Lavra's beauty and grandeur and let you an opportunity to listen to the bell chimes.

The last and shortest Kiev video is about St.Vladimir's Cathedral. The Cathedral is an amazing combination of the perfect architecture, unique mosaics executed by the masters from Venice, and amazing frescoes painted by the famous Russian artists. More about St.Vladimir's Cathedral and other churches you can read at Kiev Churches page.
