Plenty of craft stalls, a great cafe near the bottom, and the Bulgakov House museum around the middle.
This is an interesting walk either up or down hill in a very historic part of the city. Lining the streets are stalls selling all sorts of items ranging for good quality pictures to some absolute tat. However it is a great place for hunting out souvenirs. When I was there it was very steep and slippery in the ice so beware !
This is an interesting walk up or down depending where you start. Great place to buy souvenirs for friends and family back home!!Near the stop is St Andrews.........My FAVORITE Church in Kiev!
Very interesting street with a lot of souvenir shops. I had a pleasant time to talk with a shop master.
If you are a tourist in Kiev you must visit this place. There are lots and lots of souvenirs there. You will not leave without buying anything.
This is an old historical area in Kyiv. Every building there has its own story and now many of them are having artists' studios inside. In the area you can buy different Ukrainian souvenirs or paintings. On the top there is a St. Andrew's Church. Along the street there is a lot of pubs/bars/cafes etc. It also has a few of theaters, galleries and museums on it.Tip for tourists: The pavement is historical (the stones are a few centuries old), I don't advice going alone on heels down the street. The stones may be slippery if it is snowy or rainy weather, so watch your step. And if you are a senior or with children I do advice you to go downhill not uphill there. You can get on the top of the hill by funicular.
It is a historic descent connecting Kyiv's Upper Town and the historically commercial Podil neighborhood. The street is called as the "Montmartre of Kyiv". Here you can buy souvenirs and enjoy lots of paintings, handcrafted items, embroideries
As for me the best and most comfortable place in Kyiv. Lots of sightseeing places, restaurants and museums.
My favorite walking street in Kiev. Magic atmosphere with old macadam, a lot of hand made shops, cozy cafes. Nice place to spend weekend day.
Андріївський Узвіз is a fabulous experience if you enjoy looking at a beautiful church, shopping from souvenir stalls, and buying the odd coffee out of the back of a van. I spent a month in Kyiv and regularly popped down the Descent to find a few odd bits of things to take home.It's a descent: a steep hill, very long, cobbled. Not for the unsteady.Verdict: unmissable.
