Fifteen centuries of civilisation has left an indelible stamp on the architectural and intellectual landscape of Kiev, and made the city a leading centre of culture, not just in Ukraine but in the whole of East Europe and Russia. Scores of museums, a proud legacy of theatre and a rapidly developing contemporary arts scene mean there's plenty of exhibitions, performances and activities for culture buffs to stick their claws into - whilst theology students shouldn't miss the sensational St. Sophia's Cathedral and the Pechersk Lavra. The latter is a vast complex of monasteries, churches, caves and museums and is considered the spiritual home of Orthodox Christianity.

LATEST REVIEW!
Chernobyl Museum reviewed by Sam from United States on Mar.02.2010	"I was really glad that we visited the Chernobyl museum while traveling through Kiev in 2009. It was both incredibly informative and deeply touching. As many of the others who have written reviews complained about the lack of English material, I thought that this suggestion might be helpful; You can take an audio tour in English. It just costs an extra 2 or 3 dollars and you get a walky-talky like device with headphones that thoroughly explains everything in each station. You simply key in which station you have come to, and it begins giving you the "tour" of that station, including explanation of signs, documents, and personal letters written in Russian or Ukrainian. Doing this will completely solve the language problem and makes the museum well worth visiting!"
