  You should definitely visit this place, to get your own insight and feeling of how cradle or orthodox church looks like. Architecture and inner decoration of churches is very prominent. An excursion to underground (only guided tours go full route underground) will complete your experience - to see tombs and mummies of priests.

  A must see on anyone's visit to Kyiv. The artwork in the cathedral and churches are stunning. To be honest, the caves were eerie, but I can certainly see how so many Orthodox Christians find it to be a spiritual experience. Incredible history.

  Quite an amazing site, packed with history and beautiful art, you need some time if you take a guide but will learn a lot, altrenatively do it on your own, do visit the catacombs

  Really picturesque spot overlooking the Dnipro river. Lots of reviews have been written so I'll only note a couple of things. First, you basically should know Ukranian/Russian or go with someone that does or have a guide. It's a large complex and I didn't see anything in English and it's not intuitive finding the caves. I'm sure it could be done, but I was floundering a lot until I happened upon some Americans with a Kiev friend who was leading the way. I saw signs for guides for 39 UAH so very resonable. Second, I didn't find the caves to be as tight or claustrophobic as I expected. They're certainly mostly narrow, but I'm 6'3" and I generally was able to walk upright. It was also quite clean, dry and easy passage. Pretty fascinating place overall and really reflects on the monks dedication! No fee, but you're expected to purchase a candle that you use to guide your way (it wasn't totally dark, just pretty dim in places) and then you can leave it upon leaving. Various sizes and most common was 2 UAH (about .10 at current rate).

  If you only visit one place in Kiev, I recommend you to visit Lavra. Religion, history, art, beauty,... all in one place. UAH 50 entrance is worth it.

  It is magnificent: the architecture, the view - everything is amazing. The sky over your head when you are in this sacred place. But when you go there be sure that you wear comfortable shoes as it is impossible to see it in 10 minutes.

  Kiev has many beautiful churches but this monastery complex is probably the most exiting. The gilded screens and the artwork inside the richly painted churches is a must. The entry price is 50 grivnas - quite a lot for local people but a little over one pound Stirling to a visitor. If you want some internal photo graphs purchase a permit at 100 grivnas. You will be allowed to take photos inside but keep your ticket as you will probably be challenged. Well worth the visit.

  This was a great place to visit just to see the brilliant paintings on the walls and the underground set of caves. Any good christian should visit here. If your not religious it may not appeal to you. The architecture was amazing.

  One of the most amazing and well known tour attraction spot of Kiev, Ukraine! Visited in Aug 2012, Nov 2013, and Dec 2014. Overlooking the Dnipro when it was frozen creates a well awe-inspiring view there similar to that of Andreivsky Church. Mostly the shops inside the monastery are closed on Tue, when I visited but it overall creates a very unforgettable view while travelling there as a Chinese)) Love you Kiev, Ukraine!))
