A Guide to the Festive Christmas Markets of Kyev
Covered in snow, cosy Kyev (Kiev) looks like a fairytale. Festive, a smell of mulled wine and happy crowds creating an unforgettable atmosphere in the bustling capital of Ukraine. The numerous Christmas markets are spread all over the city. Therefore, everyone coming to Kyev will feel the festive mood.
1. St Sophia Square
Architectural Landmark
The authorities of the city install a real Christmas tree (brought from the Carpathians’ dense forest) on one of the main squares in Kyev — at St. Sophia Square. It is decorated with toys of different shapes and designs, while the whole market will sparkle with 22 mile (36 kilometres) of neon flashlights. Except for these decorations, there will be various holiday illuminations, a large chain carousel, food and drinks stalls, festive souvenirs and continuous performances of local musicians or artists. An entertainment town with all sorts of attractions and rides will be located on the Mikhailovskaya Square, opposite the main Christmas tree of Ukraine.
