Kyiv, Capital city in Ukraine.
The city extends along both banks of the Dnieper River, with most districts located on the high right bank at 179 meters elevation.
The city foundations date back to 482 AD when three brothers Kyi, Shchek, Khoryv, and their sister Lybid established settlements on the Dnieper hills.
Saint Sophia Cathedral and Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, two UNESCO World Heritage sites, display medieval religious architecture and ancient underground monastic chambers.
The Kyiv Metro system connects major districts through three lines and 52 stations, operating from 6:00 AM to midnight with trains every 2-3 minutes.
The Podil district preserves merchant houses from the 17th-19th centuries and functions as a center for contemporary arts with galleries and creative spaces.
