Kyiv′s streets and squares are an open-air museum of a thousand years of history. From the 11th-century Golden Gate of Yaroslav the Wise and the bronze figure of Prince Volodymyr overlooking the Dnipro, to the towering steel Motherland Monument and the beloved comic statues of Andriivsky Uzviz, every monument in Kyiv tells a story. Here is your guide to the city′s most iconic landmarks and public sculptures.

Khreshchatyk is Kyiv′s grand central boulevard: wide, chestnut-lined and full of life, the stage for every major event in the city′s modern history. Andriivsky Uzviz is its bohemian twin: a winding cobbled descent through centuries of legend, art and literary memory. Together they are the soul of Kyiv.
