Tourist Kiev
 |
 |
| ^^ For a few grivna, you can take a photo of these incredible falcons. They are all around the station in the central square | ^^ This stone marker says these old buildings here were built in the year 925 |
 |
 |
| ^^ The main square in central Kiev. Note the soviet architecture. | ^^ Close up of that archway with the golden angel on top |
 |
 |
| ^^ This is the old Kiev gate, currently in the centre of town but originally at its edge. The statue is the town's founding prince. | ^^ The architecture from the 19th century is much more to my taste (politically awkward though that is). |
 |
 |
| ^^ This enormous statue stands guard over Kiev | ^^ Gotta love a town that puts up statues for poets: this is Shevchenko |
 |
 |
| ^^ Classic statue with winged women and men with bows and arrows in Kiev's centre square | ^^ Kittens for sale in the metro tunnels. So incredibly cute! |
 |
 |
| ^^ I always go to museums in whatever city I'm in. This diorama of old Kiev is in the museum of the city of Kiev. | ^^ And this is an old painting of the city from the same museum. |
