Kyiv River Port, River transport terminal in Podil, Ukraine
Description
Kyiv River Port sits along the Dnieper embankment and features more than 20 moorings with stairways where passenger and leisure boats dock. The location blends river traffic with urban waterfront activity, offering visitors a view of how the city connects to the water.
History
The port area began in 1897 as a transport facility and later received a new passenger building between 1953 and 1961, designed to resemble a ship. This structure shaped the site's appearance for decades and reflects the city's river navigation heritage.
Culture
The passenger terminal of Kyiv River Port transformed in 2021 to accommodate the American University Kyiv, adding an educational dimension to its functions.
Practical
The port welcomes visitors daily and offers river exploration trips throughout several months of the year. It helps to check weather conditions, since boat operations depend on water levels and weather patterns.

The passenger terminal building was repurposed in 2021 to house a university, giving the port area a dual function that reflects modern city needs. Looking closely, visitors can still trace the site's maritime past in its structures.
