Kiev - capital of our country is very large and the oldest city on the banks of the Dnieper. From the " Tale of Bygone Years " I know the legend about the foundation of Kiev three brothers Kyi, Schek and Khoryv and their sister Lybed on the hill above the Dnieper , which is now called the Old Kiev . The eldest of the brothers Kyi, became the prince of the tribe of the field, and according to the chronicler Nestor first began to reign in Kiev , around the second half of the V century. Having conquered Kiev in 882 , Oleg prophetic , as said "The Tale of Bygone Years" , said: " Let this city be the mother of Russian cities ." That is probably all I knew about the city, which was going to spend a whole week .
On the first day of your stay in Kiev, I was convinced that it is a city with a developed industry , modern residential quarters , wonderful historical monuments . Much left in it from the legendary city that struck numerous foreign guests with its power and splendor. You can spend hours wandering along the streets , squares and admire. My aunt and uncle for a week introduced me to this wonderful city . Where I just visited : at the Independence Square in Kiev-Pechersk Lavra , the botanical garden, Gidropark , at ENEA and even rose to the funicular. I admired the Sofia cathedral, founded by Yaroslav the Wise ,
walked through Mariinsky Park , where the residence of the President of Ukraine - the Mariinsky Palace , and nearby there is a building of the Verkhovna Rada .
But most of all I liked the capital. A walk along this famous street, we went on a Sunday , this day was especially crowded. There I saw the show mimes, looked tender youth dance groups , saw filmed TV show " Karaoke on the Maidan ."
Khreschatyk - small but wide street with beautiful shops and cozy cafes, one of which we had lunch . Near Khreschatyk is no less famous Independence Square. Recently there has ended reconstruction, and now this place - and the most visited by tourists and citizens , especially on holidays and weekends. On the square is the stele of Independence statue of Michael the Archangel - patron saint of the city, and underneath are the distance between Kiev and all regional centers of Ukraine. The special charm of the area give the fountains and a variety of beautiful colors.
Kiev can talk about for a long time . But, unfortunately , I limited the scope of school composition . I can only add that I often share my experiences with parents and friends again and again show the photos that did during those memorable vacation and dream about how I will go back to this wonderful city , because I still have so much to learn about it !
