Winters are long and cold, stretching from mid-November until the end of March. Teperatures can fall to as low as -20c with heavy snowfalls closing airports. If you’re visiting during this time, thermals,gloves and especially a warm hat are essential items. However, indoors can become too warm so dress with this in mind.

Many of the apartment blocks and buildings in Kiev are universally heated so indoors is rarely too cold.

The reverse holds for the summer with temperatures reaching a scorching 40c. Much of the city heads to the beaches on the Dnipro on these days and business stops.

The national bank of Ukraine controls as best it can the Ukraine economy and like all countries in the world today the Ukraine economy has suffered.

 

Ukraine money is made up of Hrivna notes in the following denominations.

5 Hrivna

10 hrivna

20 hrivna

50 hrivna

100 Hrivna

200 hrivna

500 hrivna

 UA200

500uah

Although you can get a little confused as there are 2 issues of most of these with the older issues slowly falling out of circulation.

Small change is composed of Kopeks with 100 of these equal to 1 Hrivna.
