Ukraine
A huge titanium arch, built to commemorate friendship between the Ukrainian and Russian people – it may have outstayed its welcome. Beneath it stand two beefy looking statues representing each country. It’s in Khreschatyk Park, on top of a hill which has excellent panoramic views across the city that certainly make the walk worthwhile.
Khreschatyk Park
It’s maybe not the most picturesque stretch of the river (Dnipro in Ukrainian) that runs through Kiev, but if you can get a short boat trip, the views of the city from it are quite spectacular in places.
River terminal - Poshtova Ploscha.
