The Most Picturesque Parks in Kiev
The numerous parks of Kiev have always been a source of inspiration for Ukrainians. Whether blanketed with snow or blooming flowers, dull and rainy or green and sunny, these destinations are crowded with people nearly all the time. The capital is called “a green city” for good reason!

Taras Shevchenko Park
Park
Being situated in front of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev, this park is always crowded with students. The park is popular in part because of the street food cafes, where you can get a cheap coffee and burger or have a quick snack during a break from classes. Moreover, most of the locals are delighted with its beautiful scenery.
Kiev Polytechnic Institute Park
Park
Kiev Polytechnic Institute Park is a part of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, which was created in 1903. There is a lot of greenery and benches, it always has a quiet and calm atmosphere. Therefore, the park is a favourite place for parents and small children, as well as students aiming to get some rest. One can marvel at the old buildings of the institute, which are often called the Ukrainian Hogwarts.
Pecherskyi Landscape Park
Park
The number of interesting places in Pecherskyi Landscape Park is just off the scale: The National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War, Spivoche Pole open-air exhibition centre, the cascade of steps to the Dnipro River embankment and much more. During any season, it is a venue for art lovers with regular flower festivals, music concerts and cinema screenings.
