One of the country’s main cultural centers, Lviv will win you over with its stunning architecture which bears obvious traces of the city’s Polish and Austro-Hungarian heritage. From its renaissance Rynok Square to beautiful castles and churches, this city is filled with architectural gems that will take your breath away.
Kharkiv
Ukraine’s second-largest city is also heaven on Earth for architecture aficionados, but nature lovers will feel right at home during their visit because it’s home to pretty amazing parks, zoos, and botanical gardens.
Odesa
If you have a special place in your heart for seaside cities, Odesa will knock you off your feet. Located on the shores of the Black Sea, this port city has something in store for everyone, from beautiful beaches and 19th-century architecture to the iconic Potemkin Stairs, one of the city’s most recognizable symbols.

]]>“Your little slice of Europe in Kyiv,” as the property brochure calls it, has 8,500 apartments. It was inspired by building blocks like LEGOs and it’s very colorful.
The Comfort Town is the first residential complex in the country that was designed using the “block development” principle. The rest of Ukraine follows the typical Soviet typology and consists of micro districts.
There’s no doubt that this colorful neighborhood will attract tourists who visit Kyiv. It’s especially interesting for those who are into architecture as its constructors did their best to optimize construction and technology.
The designers did several interesting things—created the district from only 150 repetitions, preserved the valuable green spaces, and made it comfortable to live in.
One of the reasons why the shapes are simples and facades are flat is the limited budget Archimatika had. They also had to optimize their work in that way but we think the final result is great.

St. Sophia’s Cathedral
This architectural gem is, without a doubt, the most important religious monument in Ukraine. Over 1,000 years old, St. Sophia’s Cathedral is perhaps the best example of Ukranian Baroque architecture, and even features Byzantine elements.
Motherland Monument
Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union from 1922 and 1991, and this former empire left a wide range of marks on the country. This massive statue, measuring over 200 feet tall and commemorating the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, is one of the most impressive bits of Soviet memory in the city.
Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum
The Chernobyl Disaster is perhaps one of the things for which Ukraine is most known on a global scale. This nuclear tragedy was one of the most tragic moments in the country’s history, and this fantastic Kyiv museum tells the story of what happened.

]]>The largest city of Europe in the XI century
In the 11th century, Kyiv was the largest city in Europe. At the time of Yaroslav the Wise, Kyiv was fifty times larger than present-day London and ten times larger than present-day Paris when compared to the world population at the time. During Yaroslav’s reign, Kyiv was a center of culture and military power.

Sculpture Street is the most fun street in the city. You simply can’t pass through it and not smile. The street was built by architect Avram Miletski many years ago, but, the sculptures that were added in 2009 gave this street its unique charm.
