Say farewell to busy department stores and swap stressful Christmas shopping for something a little more laid back: come to Kyiv for it’s glittering Christmas Markets!
Covered in snow, Kyiv is a fairytale in winter. The city installs a huge real Christmas tree in St. Sophia square, brought in from the Carpathian mountains, which sits at the head of rows and rows of lights, leading the way to the Christmas markets.
Here you can shop for handmade gifts, or try delicious sweets and donuts sold from cute wooden huts. You’ll find foodie treats, creative crafts, arty offerings to live music, and everything else you’ll need to get your festive shopping done and dusted this year!
