Kiev doesn't sound like a top touristic destination, right? I mean, it's the capital and largest city of Ukraine, a former Soviet Union country, still at war with Russia over its southeastern regions. Not many Ukrainians speak English, while most of the street signs are written only in Cyrillic, so you won't understand much. Despite all the … Continue reading Kiev, the city of the golden domes
