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.

Kiev’s history is filled with ups and downs of conquest and liberation. From the early Viking settlers to recent day Soviet rule, Kiev has had more than its fair share of being ruled by others.

As the capital of Ukraine and certainly Ukraine’s most important city, Kiev has grown in to a rather cosmopolitan city with modern amenities and shops springing up within and alongside ancient cultural and historically important buildings.

With a population of close to 3 million, Kiev is Ukraine’s largest city.
