kiev has some of the most attractive women in the world

what would you do in your town for fun? same shit in kiev

Don't leave booking the Chernobyl tour at the last minute. They need a minimum of 2 weeks in advance for passport and entry reasons.

I went to Chernobyl in June, it's an awesome place. Luckily I went before the reactor got covered over but it will still be a great trip. How long are you going to be there for? I did 2 days which was a pretty comprehensive tour.

I think we're planning on going to Chernobyl for only one day, but it's definitely the main part of the trip.

I live in a crappy country side town so I doubt I will be disappointed.

We're not going until April and we're planning on booking everything in March (just because of financial situations at the moment and we don't know what we can afford to actually do)

But cheers for the advice!

>What museums are there?
The best museum of all is the WWII Museum (but now it also has exhibits on the current war against Russia), which is where the big Motherland statue (Rodina Mat) is located.

That is within walking distance of Lavra, the most famous Ukrainian monastery with caves underneath.

You might also want to visit Pyrohiv, which is an outdoor folk museum...although in all honesty, it might not be too interesting to most people.
I had a decent time there because I went on a bike with my girlfriend but I was expecting something else from it, such as historical reenactors.

There's also an outdoor government run aviation museum and an outdoor Kyivan Rus museum which looks pretty cool, but never went to it.

My favorite part of Kyiv is Andriyivsky Uzviz. You should spend a lot of time walking around there and the city center.

We do like looking at old history stuff and foreign culture and what not, so thanks for the suggestions!

You should visit Pinchuk's modern art gallery. They have some really bizarre stuff there at times, and it is free for students at least.

I would recommend visiting Bulgakov's museum, I had the most amazing tour in my life in there.

But really, if you want mor authentic Ukrainian culture, I would recommend going a little bit more to the west. At least to Pereyaslav-Khmelnitskiy, which is only some 1.5 hours away from Kiev.

We had a bit of freedom on what we saw in Chernobyl so I'd recommend the cooling towers, the Duga radar, ferris wheel/bumper cars and the swimming pool (basically everything). When you're in Pripyat try and go to the roof of an apartment building. 15 storey view of the town with the reactor in the distance is a great way to see the scale of it.
