Kiev Cool Streets ~ Andriyivsky Descent Part II

Andriyivsky Ddescent takes you to Kontraktova Plosha... The best way to get to the Andriyivsky descent, one of the most popular streets in Kiev, is from the Poshtova Ploshcha Metro. To reach the bluff where the descent begins, take the funicular (cable car) located at the bottom of the hill, just outside the subway. When you reach the top, walk straight to the square ahead of you. The building directly ahead of you contains the new BRAMA Contemporary Arts Center. From there, veer right down the steps to the square and cross over to Desyatinna Street, named for the Desyatinna Cerkva (Tithe Church) or Church of the Holy Virgin (989) that once stood at the end of this short street. At the end of the street, veer to the left to the middle of the block and wade through of street vendors and tourists up a flight of stairs and you'll find the outline of the church's foundation, which was reconstructed with red granite. Looking to the right past the site of Desyatinna Cerkva, you'll see the Historical Museum, located on the bluff. The museum's extensive consists of 8 sections dealing with different aspects of Ukraine's history. Behind the museum there is a path that provides a good view of Podil, Kiev's lower town from the highest point of old Kiev.

Sounds more like you know very little since you don't know correct spelling Kyiv

[mikhail1980]

You don't know nothing about my country. You are saying total crap

[majorgeeek]

The signs all over Kyiv read Kyiv - - "KYIV" spelling is the only official Ukrainian spelling, used by the UKrainian government, So that makes it OFFICIAL and correct. The fact is that the majority of foreign governments, embassies, and numerous academic and business organizations use "KYIV" not "KIEV".

[mikhail1980]

for major population the correct spelling is Kiev. Kyiv is for minority.
