Welcome to Kiev - one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe dating back to the 5th century! As the centre of Kyivan (Kievan) Rus, the first eastern Slavic state, 1,000 years ago, it acquired the title “Mother of Rus Cities.”

It was this state that shaped the religious and cultural foundations of the modern Slavic eastern European states. Today Kiev is an important industrial, scientific, educational, and cultural centre of Eastern Europe. It is home to many high-tech industries, higher education institutions and world-famous historical landmarks.

Upon arrival at Kiev Boryspol International Airport, you will be transferred to a cozy hotel in the city center.
