Kiev Local Custom Tips by hunterV

When you come to Independence Square, you will see the Gate of Archangel St.Michael who is the Patron Saint of Kiev.
The statue stands in the middle of Independence Square and was dedicated in 2001. Archangel St.Michael is represented on the city's coat-of-arms.
I think it's a good idea for all the visitors of the city to browse Independence Square and take some pictures of it.
The city consists of ten districts, among them three districts are located on the left bank of the Dnipro and seven – on the elevated right bank of Kiev.

The Kievites and the city visitors celebrate the City Day on the last weekend in May.
This holiday has become very popular of late and attracts thousands of people at the improvised stages all over the city, in each of its ten districts.
A big part of the festival is the tradesmen exhibition in St.Andrew's Descent where you can see and buy lots of souveniers of folk handicrafts, pictures of local painters and lots of other trivia.
The city looks expecially festive on those days when the chestnuts are in blossom!
