We only had a couple of hours before having to take a taxi to the airport, but I'm really glad that we visited. Our trip was on Orthodox Easter Monday, so the Cathedral was being used for its true purpose - its a spectacular building from the outside, but is definitely best looking on the inside - very ornate and...

This Cathedral is considered a little 'out of the way' by some but it's actually not. It's a tad difficult to find on your own because no one speaks English and good street maps are hard to come by. That said, if you feel like you'd like to walk the extra couple blocks (a solid 2 blocks from the next... More

It's a bit of a trek to find this church (although not really that far) but definitely worth it. It's small, but the colors are just so stunning. It's not too far from the other churches, but I'd guess it's not as touristed because of its location. Definitely worth a detour, as its much smaller than the other churches and... More

One of the places you visit when you are here, see as a tourist and as a history interested person. You need to know the local language though, as not many speak English.

Suggested as idea to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the baptism of the Kievan Rus by Volodymyr the Great in 1852, constructions on the glorious cathedral started seven years later when the funds reached 100 000 roubles.

A very active church with a lot of people during mass. Go there on a Sunday or holiday. Be careful with your camera, it is not appreciated to take photos inside.

It is a lovely cathedral, right near Taras Shevcheko blvd. It is not too tall, but on the inside it is spectacular. A very relaxing place, whether you are religious/spiritual or not. I highly recommend visiting.

This church is totally spectacular inside. Originally Vrubel was supposed to do the main works in the interior, but made the mistake of having an affair with the patron's wife, Sasha Prakhova (or so the story goes among Ukrainian artists), so the jury rejected him and Viktor Vasnetsov did it instead... and not one whit worse than Vrubel for my...

This church just gives me goose bumps. We have travelled extensively in Europe and this would be one of my top 5 churches. Its not big and not particularly grand however is such a pretty fairytale kind of church that just made me smile. We were lucky enough to visit during a service and the music from the choir made...
