Kiev Vacations
Kiev, Ukraine, has seen some things over the past 16,000 years. Originally a small group of settlements clustered around the Dnieper River, it helped introduce the East to European civilization in the 9th century, was conquered by the Mongols in the 13th century, and got taken over by the Russian Empire in the 18th century. Today, though, Kiev stands independent, free, and full of interesting sights to discover. Gold-domed cathedrals. A bevy of museums. All sorts of recurring festivals. No wonder Kiev vacation packages are perennially popular!
