Kiev guide

In recent decades the Andreevsky Uzviz has become a cult street for Kyivans and visitors.

There are several reasons for this. First, there is the beauty of the street (which was emphasized by the through renovation carried out in the 1980s). Second, the increasing interest of society and authorities in monuments of culture (not only those like Andrew’s church, but also conventional buildings). Third, the lifting of the prohibition on the creative legacy of Mikhail Bulgakov, whose name is inseparably linked to the history of the Andreevsky Uzviz. And finally, the permition for artists to trade their works freely in the street. Today’s Andreevsky Uzviz is comparable to Montmartre in Paris for its picturesque sights and adundant artistic life.
