After being picked up from your hotel, visit one of Kiev's most popular tourist attractions, Kiev Pechersk Lavra, which is now included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Discover the secrets of the monastery which for centuries played an important role in the historical and cultural life of the country. Learn more about the history of this fascinating monastery through exhibitions, or climb the bell tower for additional fee.
Following your visit to the monastery, your tour will continue in the Museum of World War II, which consists of an open-air exhibition of military vehicles and indoor museum within the Statue of Mother Motherland.
