Come to Kyiv Only Once and You Are Sure to Love It.
Kyiv is a very old and beautiful city and as every old city it has many legends. One of the most popular legends is about its own name. According to the mysterious legend, 16 centuries ago three brothers and a sister founded the city: Kyi, Schek, Horyv and her sister Lybid. Kyi was the name of the eldest brother and so the name of Prince Kyi gave birth to a wonderful city. The immortal history of Kyiv makes it an unforgettable place. It is definitely worth of visiting for the beauty of its streets and parks. You won’t be able to take your eyes off magnificent Cathedrals with their unique architecture. The ancient building will leave you open-mouthed.
