We found this fantastic shot on the web and were trying to
find the author, as this would be our dream cover photo.
But we haven’t succeeded. If anyone knows the
photographer who took this amazing picture, please let
us know. The skyscraper in the picture is Parus business
centre, built in 2007. The building’s height is 133 meters.
At the bottom of the picture is beautiful St Michael’s

Kyiv is beautiful 365 days a year, but exceptional month
is May when the city blossoms with chestnut trees, lilac,
magnolias, tulips and all other possible spring flowers.
Since the turn of 19 and 20th centuries, when Taras
Shevchenko boulevard was planted with chestnut trees,
this beautiful blossoming tree became a favourite of
Kyivities and later a green symbol of the city

Spring 2013
Foreword
4
Spring in Kyiv usually comes late, so the beginning of March
does not mean warm weather, shining sun and blossoming
flowers. Kyiv residents could not be happier that spring is
coming, as this past winter lasted too long. Snow fell right
on schedule in December and only the last days of February
gave us some hope when we saw the snow thawing. With
that in mind, if a burly Ukrainian sits next to you on a park
bench and takes off his shirt, don’t be alarmed…he just
needs to soak in some rays to get over the cabin fever.
As usual, spring brings us a lot of expectations to see
nature as the city recovers from its long sleep. First we wait
for the apricot trees to start blossoming, then we wait for
the first tulips and most of all Kyiv residents wait for the
magnolia and lilac blossoming at the Botanical Gardens.
For football lovers we have had some sad news. All
Ukrainian football teams missed the boat with the European
competitions. Dynamo Kyiv lost to Bordeaux, Metalist
Kharkiv and Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk lost to Newcastle and
Basel respectively. The exception is Shakhtar Donetsk who
has their last match with Dortmund Bayern on 5th March.
While international football passes Ukraine by this spring,
there is still plenty for diehard fans to get excited about.
The Ukrainian championship is still on schedule and starts
on 1st March. For the full schedule go to www.fpl.ua/eng.
April-May is as usual chock - full of holidays, and Ukrainians
always find a way to put their busy lives on hold and
celebrate to the full. Locals add their own unique twists to
April Fools’Day
(1
st
April).
International Workers Day
is
celebrated on the 1
st
and 2
nd
of May.
Easter
this year falls on
the 5
th
of May.
Victory Day
is on the 9
th
of May. We’re not
sure by now if there will be a parade on Khreschatyk street,
but just in case if you want to see the Ukrainian military
in its full might – be somewhere around Kyiv’s main street
on the morning of Victory Day. And be sure not to miss the
nights beautiful fireworks display. Also, start getting used
to the fact that most of Ukrainian companies will be on a
holiday from the 1
st
to the 9
th
of May. The cherry on top of
all holidays is
Kyiv Day
! It is scheduled this year on 26
th
May and is one of the rockin’est celebrations of the year.
You couldn’t have chosen a better time to visit Ukraine’s
capital. Kyiv is at its glorious best in springtime, so find a
bench in the sunshine, take a deep breath, and just let go.
Nasolodzhuisia! Enjoy!

ArrivAl & trAnsport
5
By plane
Boryspil State International Airport (
Аеропорт Бориспiль
)
is where almost all international flights land and depart. The
smaller Kyiv Zhulyani Airport (
Аеропорт Київ Жуляни
) is
only 8km from centre and handles mostly domestic travel
and Wizz Air flights from Europe.
Located 34km east of Kyiv, Boryspil is going to move all
international flights to its largest and newest Terminal D. Inter-
national passengers now arrive and depart at Terminals B, D
and F. Terminal B also services domestic flights. Starting from
March 31, 2013 all international and Ukrainian airlines will
operate their international flights to/from the new Terminal D.
The old Terminal B will be used for domestic flights, while the
Terminal F will be reserved for low-cost airlines. Ticket agents,
immigration, and customs officials speak some English, so
don’t worry if you haven’t yet mastered Ukrainian or Russian.
Customs control has been greatly relaxed in recent years,
but it still makes sense to travel light and pass through the
green express line when arriving. If you need to connect to a
local flight, a free shuttle bus circulates between terminals
every 20 min. Feel like stretching your legs? Walk time be-
tween all Terminals is about 15 min. At all terminals you will
find currency exchange offices (
обмiн валют
), information,
car rental offices, cafes, public telephones, etc.
Getting to town
Exiting of the terminals in Boryspil Airport,
you are sure to be approached by cabbies. The 20-25 minute
ride to centre will set you back about 200-250Hr.
SkyBuses
headed to Kyiv leave from Terminal B and F roughly every 10-
15 minutes. The charge is 27Hr and the bus will drop you off
about an hour later at the Central Train Station or you can get
off at the first stop near the Kharkivska metro station (green
line). Tickets are available online at www.skybus.kiev.ua.
A taxi from
Kyiv Zhulyany Airport
to the city centre should
not cost you more than 70Hr.
Trolleybus #9 (1.50Hr)
brings you to Tereschenkivska street nearby Ploscha Lva
Tolstoho metro station (blue line).
Trolleybus #22
goes to
Dorohozhychi metro station (green line).
Marshrutka #213
(2.50Hr) shuttles passengers to Dorohozhychi (green line)
and Petrivka (blue line) metro stations.

By bus
All international buses arrive at Kyiv’s Central Bus Station (
tsen-
tralnyi avtovokzal
). The station is still waiting for its European
renovations and sits like a hideous centrepiece on Kyiv’s most
unsightly square, Moskovs’ka ploscha. A currency exchange
office (
обмін валют
) is next to the main exit, and just outside
is an ATM (
банкомат
) that dispenses Ukrainian hryvnia. If you
need to stash your bags, a left-luggage office is available (open
06:00 - 11:00, 11:30 - 17:00, 17:30 - 22:00).
Getting to town
Taxis are always on hand and can take you to the city centre for
approximately 50Hr. Demiivs’ka metro station (blue line) is right
near the bus station. Just go round McDonalds’ building, pass
a subway and find the metro entrance to your right.

By train
The refurbished Central Railway Station (
центральний вокзал
)
has now been joined by a futuristic-looking Southern Railway
Station (
південний вокзал
), with the platforms located between
the two. A new waiting lounge up the stairs to the left from
the central main hall boasts comfy couches for a 10Hr admis-
sion fee. Currency exchange

обмін валют

In the news
Kyiv Boryspil Airport moves flights to
Terminal D
Starting from March 31, 2013 all international and
Ukrainian airlines will operate their international flights
to/from the new Terminal D. The old Terminal B will be
used for domestic flights, while the Terminal F will be
reserved for low-cost airlines.
(
банкомат
) are in the main halls of each station. Coin-operated
pay telephones are scattered throughout the building, while
card-operated ones are mostly outside the central entrance.
Getting to town
You’re basically in it already, but short
taxi
rides to Khreschatyk Street area cost 50Hr and up. The
entrance to metro station Vokzal’na (red line) is to your left
as you exit the central station - look for the green letter M.
Khreschatyk is only three stops east on the red line. Various
trolleybuses, buses and minivans also depart from the central
station. Those with light bags and fresh legs can head down
the main road and turn right at Shevchenko Boulevard , which
runs into Khreschatyk.
