Kyiv Sea

For those who love sunsets at sea, this location is perfect. Here, the rays of the setting sun play on the water to the last, swaying on small waves, or shimmer in the calm waters of calmness. In this place, half of the reservoir is equal to half of the sky, divided by a small strip of darkening horizon.

Bell tower of St. Sophia Cathedral

Rising to a height of 76 meters, you will be breathtaken by the endless panoramas of the capital. And when the sun starts to set, the picture becomes so beautiful that it is difficult to describe, because this beauty captures your feelings and carries you away. But you want to stop at this moment desperately, at least to repeat it exactly. And even a few hundred steps won't stop you on your way to unique beauty.

Zamkova Hora

The Zamkova Hora changes the image of the city dramatically, illuminating it from a different angle. Here, the capital seems capricious, infantile, and nakedly adolescent. Spires, peaks, massive buildings and sturdy roofs in the rays of the setting sun acquire a certain foreboding and stir long-lost strings in the soul. But the excitement fades away with the rays that take all anxiety with them.

Glass bridge

The new glass inhabitant of the capital has already experienced many adventures and become one of its own. The panorama of the city and the Dnipro River, the rays of the sunset reflected in the glass canvas of the bridge, changing your color, is a great entourage for the end of the day. It will be a vivid impression to your picturesque walk, even alone with yourself.

We wish you pleasant and quiet evenings in contemplation of beauty.
