If you ever decide to visit Kiev, and I hope to go again in the not too distant future, do spend some time exploring the Podil neighborhood, as it is truly delightful! I just love the colorful stucco buildings, the street cars, the street art and a feeling that didn't remind me of anywhere else in the world! Kiev has some truly amazing sights and you can do it really inexpensively, a studio apartment vacation rental in the Podil neighborhood can be rented for around $20 a night, really truly! In the mean time, come with me for a little walk around the neighborhood, won't you?
Andrew's Descent, a very famous street, compared to Montmarte in Paris......there is a funicular to go up if you like, and then you can walk down.
A very old pharmacy, circa 1728, and I think this may just be the pharmacy museum I read about in the guide book a picked up.
Hey there street car, we love you and have certainly seen you as well in San Francisco, Toronto, and Vancouver!
Amazing street art!
Lots of signs that we can't read but would like to!
Really serious architecture........and a great addition to the mix of styles.
That is it, hope you enjoyed this little tour of Podil. Just by the way, the Jewish community synagogue and Kosher food store is also in Podil, so it is a win win for us.
