Did I feel safe? Mostly yes, but with caution. Air raid alerts happen, and you need to stay updated. People go on with life, but the war is still real. I felt safe during the day in central areas, especially with locals around. Things to do / skip: Do: – Walk around Podil, Andriyivskyy Descent, and Mariinsky Park – Visit St. Sophia’s Cathedral and Kyiv Pechersk Lavra – Check out local bookshops and cozy cafés – Try a banya (Ukrainian sauna) for a unique experience Skip: – Expensive tourist...

People are very friendly, they helped us almost for free. The food was delicious, the views were damn good, and we didn't need a big budget because we were just relaxing rather than looking for activities. There were problems with transportation, because these are mountains, but the locals saved the races here.

Not safe at all because of bombing and russian attacks. But since I used to live here like many Ukrainians, we kinda adopt. And you should not ignore air alarms. It could be nice, but you never sure where the strike can be.
Posted: April 15, 2026When there is no shelling, the city is generally calm and full of life. When there is an air raid alert, it is better to take shelter. There is no criminal spirit here. You need to watch your belongings, just like in any city. You get different people, but mostly in Kyiv there is a low level of thieves or criminal stories.

The only yet huge danger is obviously the war that is going on in Ukraine, you never know where the next rocket or drone might hit. Before the full invasion Kyiv was safe place to visit. Nevertheless, it’s beautiful city
