I traveled to Ukraine last year in July.. Beautiful country.. Very friendly, helpful and nice people.. One of the most underrated countries in Europe! I stayed in Podil in Kieve and I've been to Odessa and Lviv.. Definitely coming again! Big love from Dubai!
Hi Peter, I am an American girl teaching English in Lviv, love your videos, my only experience in Kyiv was in 2014 2 days after the Maiden square revolt, i stayed in the hotel on the square still smelling burned tires and watching people clean up the square, they were playing music and serving tea, i was in shock at the vibe 2 days after so much violence, but i am in Lviv now almost 2 years and wish i had moved here 20 years ago, i am in love with these people!!
Erik Vazco Thanks Erik! This made me smile as I sit in the airport in Riyahd Saudi Arabia about to go to a much more conservative part of the country. If you’re interested in Saudi I have seen some unbelievable things that I’ll post. Thanks for your support 🙌
Since lockdown ive been thinking of new places to go and travel. I met a lady online from Ukraine which as made me consider going for a few months and these videos make me admire the people and the country so much more. Ukraine is now on the highest priority to visit when i am able too. Id love to visit my friend whom lives in Kyiv. I cant wait till all this corona business is done as i might have to visit Ukraine for a long vacation. Much love from the UK, you guys are the hidden jewel on this world.
This guy, hands down, has the best videos of anyone who has ever done Ukraine clips because he understands the unique depth that country has. He takes you into the belly of the real Ukraine. Great job Peter!
That feeling when you're somewhere in China and watch videos about Ukraine, because you miss the country so much! Thank you for the great content, Peter! BTW, you should go to Kamianets-Podilskyi, Bakota, and Carpathians mountains. Amazing places to visit ;)

the landscape and chaotic structure of streets makes kiev very itneresting....its very unpredictable you never know where you'll end up ...also it blends very well with nature..like all ukrainian cities
Currently I live in Toronto but originally, came from Kyiv. Try to go there every year and thinking about moving back in next 2 years. City has changed a lot during last 6 years. and I am happy that 90% of changes are positive. As you said in one of your videos, the best way to learn more about your hometown is to leave it for a while and then come back.
`Bursa` in the middle ages meant a) low religious school; b) a dormitory for poor students (bursaks) . In soviet times slang it meant 'low techinal school for bad educated teenager'.
Peter, I'm really enjoying your videos. So much beauty and friendly people. And now, 3 years later, because of the War, most of this beauty has been wasted because of Putin, it's Terrible what he has done! GOD Bless the people of Ukraine and You Peter for all you are doing!!
Показал глубинку и спальные районы, но и центр был, видео крутое очень👍 Всегда нравится как он про Киев снимает, но надо отдельно центральные районы снимать и отдельно спальные, не скрывать хорошего и плохого а все показывать как есть
this video is made for people who are thinking about visiting Kyiv. For this reason, he mostly showed city center. Like if you take Los Angeles I believe most of the tourist will spend time on the northern part of the city rather than explore Compton) But, actually this is a beauty of Kyiv, no matter where you go you will not end up in place like Compton in LA or South side in Chicago, where even police barely go)
Thank you for this nice video. I've been in Kiev last weekend. It was my first - but shure not the last time. Kiev is really beautiful and the people are very friendly.
November 16, 2023. Hello. You say, "Kiev is soulfull, and am I making any sense right now?" The thing is, you bring a genuine pure heart and a pure soul full of joy and wonder to every single one of your videos. So yes you always make sense, for who 'you' are. ... Not all who wander are lost...
June 27, 2024. Great comment. I'm so glad I found his channel.~ I was just looking thru comments to see if anybody else was thinking that maybe the little grassy area at 11:29 is the place that now has all the little flags, each representing a fallen soldier💙💛🕯
I really enjoy your videos about Ukraine. I have lived in the US for over 15 years now, and haven"t been to Ukraine since then. But its a call of the blood I guess, I think about Ukraine and its future, my family is there.
I like how he talks about how things and neighborhoods 'feel'... It's so important, but many overlook that. - I've seen other Kiev videos... people taking all kinds of time in the main square there... and it's never a good experience for them... many scammers lurk for tourists there. It's good that Peter's video just kind of skirted the outside of it.
Киев предрек Апостол Андрей Первозваний , он дошел до киевских холмов со своими учениками , в то врем'я там било поселение первих славян , Апостол взошел на кручу над Борисфеном - Славутичем , вонзил в землю свой посох и произнес пророческие слова - ,, На єтом месте будет стоять город угодний Богу .,, Дальше на сервер он не пошел , потом три брата Кий , Щек , Хорив и сестра их Либідь основали город и нарекли его в честь старшого брата Кия - Киев . А на том месте где Апостол Андрей произнес пророческие слова стоит Андреевский собор , а в низ к Днепру ведет Андреевский Спуск .
Where is that food market? Arsenalna? Also, you must try Pizza Veterano in Sofiivs'ka street...you might be surprised... Again another great video about that great city!
I like the idea that you said in the previous episode that there aren't "no cycling" signs everywhere at that there is freedom. I've been thinking more and more lately that I need to find a place where personal freedom still exists, where common sense exists, where the govt doesn't have control over every single moment of my life. I'm Australian, I currently live in the UK. Both those countries are bound heavily by what you can or can't do. I mean even in London there are parks that have "do not sit on the grass" signs on them. Both Oz and the UK are highly taxed, over-regulated, fines for this and that and everything you can think of. I just want a place I can sit on the grass, have a cigarette, and read a book in peace. It's such a simple thing to want.
Good video! I was only in Kyiv for 2 days less than two weeks ago but loved it. Visited some of the places you did in this video and at the restaurant in wooden building (4:25) - was really good. The food mart is very similar to the one i used to go to in Odessa. When you have a chance Peter, I would like to find out about cost of living in Kyiv such as reasonable apartments, location, etc. Thanks.
I see all the artwork, architecture throughout the ages & parks & just everything & it makes our existence here in the USA look very mundane, bleak & unimaginative. What a beautiful place. As Peter said about Las Vegas "it looks like a movie set (absolutely true) , it's basically one layer deep". I both lived & worked there in early 2000's. So true. I discovered a very unpleasant place with surface feelings & Lots of dishonesty - I called it (Literally & figuratively) "The place of Hot Air".
Love to look of the cathedral around the opening scenes of the video, it was just beautiful. Love the rustic style of some of the areas you covered in this one but I know there is so much more. Try different eateries in different places of Kyiv and bakery shops to help tourists find new places than the cities main center. Love your videos and Ukraine is amazing and still working and looking forward to visiting. Thanks Peter.😎
It seems to me you might like to visit the "Kaffa" café on Maidan. Good coffee, maybe not the best, but you may like the design or the vibe. I like it.
0:50 this is some kind of pre-christian religion ritual and those hills there are believed to be mystical/spiritual. Not only these, but all hills along the river. You can find pretty cheap excursion dedicated to this stuff. Podil hills, Green Theater, Lysa Hora.
I've been to Kiev Peter. I loved it had a great time. I am in Texas now (born in New York) and love it and going to visit Kiev and Poltava again soon. As far as corruption is concerned, the way I see it being an American we not only have corruption, we have self righteousness, political correctness and fear mongering at ridiculous levels. Last time I was in Ukraine, I stayed a month in Poltava in Dec 2012 and I never felt in danger nor did any "corruption" bother me. I felt people were doing their best to thrive in a society with perhaps not enough business laws to protect new entrepreneurs - maybe folks had less money to splash around but were just trying to make a living. American women on average can't compare to the class beauty and ability to talk about something cultural. I also loved I could drink beer in the car (not as driver of course) but as a passenger while I was being taxi'd around the city and I felt freer living there than in many cities in America--which have gotten crazy worse. I grew up in the Bay Area--San Mateo, San Carlos--visited San Francisco plenty of times and it has descended into a semi apocalyptic horror and freedom-less place DESPITE all the so called wealth and 'progressive' mind set (homeless people staying in hotels shooting up heroin comes to mind--and SF is cutting edge?). San Fran has become riddled with self important know it all hypocritical politicians like Pelosi who live in a protected fantasy world of their own. It is truly sad what happened to the Bay Area which is one of the most beautiful places on earth: traffic, ridiculously expensive 1.5 million homes on a 5k square foot flat roof shoe box house. It's a massive con job put on by Silicon Valley mind sets -- bought into by millions because of the weather and beach--with soul robbing media garbage collector website like Facebook Twitter that sap kindness and cooperation and spirituality from human beings Bunch of robots doing pied piper Schmuckerberg's bidding. Long live Ukraine I hope to marry a Ukrainian woman one day and I hope Ukraine KEEPS its cool character and isn't corrupted by America culturally or morally. Thanks for showing the world your Ukraine vids.
Man, Huge city / area. So much to explore, as you say Peter. I can easily see why you like it. And I disagree with you (for me anyway) .You have captured this place very well. It's a place I will never see but now, wish I really could. Thank you !
Hey, Peter. I watched your Mariupol video. Do not say "Russian-backed separatists". It's russian army and local supporters (traitors, collaborationists). Separatists want to separate and create own country (kurds, basks, irlands). Collaborationists support enemy. It's simple.
Must be dreadfully hard to swallow that your lot have been consistently and thoroughly trounced by an irregular bunch of local tractor drivers and miners that - in quite a bizarre twist of fate, right? - happened to be reluctant to be banned from using their native language and don't share a delusion that some generous foreigners will turn up to drown you in wealth just because you're so wonderful and so deserve it. Your travesty of a country has been occupying these lands ever since they were carved off Russia by the founding fathers of the so-called 'Ukraine' - Bolshevik criminals Lenin and Jughashvili. People chose freedom from you - plain and simple.
@@olexandrvovchok2384 I actually prefer thinking of it as the simple truth. You may call it primitive propaganda. Why not? To each their own. There are people in this world, after all, who eat shit, for example, so yours might not be the worst case known to medicine.
@@владимирсеменец-ь6э cool stary bra , just forgot to mention forceful relocation of Ukrainians from donbass and having actual people from Russia move in who make up majority. Ain't it a truth )
@@PaulJohnson-jo7kt Not being a fan of historical fiction and such like, i.e. stories about dragons, magicians, or the mighty state of Ukraine that fought with the Roman empire, stormed Dunkirk, and colonised Mars and Venus, I only generally tend to mention something that can be corroborated with genuine documents, like for instance the forced Ukrainisation of Donbass and Novorossiya carried out as part of the Bolsheviks' nativisation campaign. Actual people from Russia started settling there in more or less significant numbers since the middle of the 18th century, which is why exactly they are the majority there. The so-called Ukrainians, which by the way were not referred to with this name back then, also started pouring into the area after they were generously allowed to settle there by the Russian monarchs.
@@mikhailtsipenyuk5218 Sure, you are right. But it is a good practice to transliterate locale namings, not to translate. See some maps on city info panels and you'll see "vulitza", "tupyk" and so on.
Yes, keep the small business alive. You just shot this video today. Maybe I will see you on the streets tomorrow...never know. I leave Kyiv tomorrow and go to Kharkiv to meet with some of the technology companies there. I will have to check out your video on that city.
@@nataliasantenello I stay there some years - so have a special attachments with the city so always wait for new vlogs of odessa city . Specially the way peter and bald Express the view of USSR
Oh, WOW! New boardwalks, stairwells and the wheel became permanent. Also the food market and the new area renovations they are doing, why only now and not before?
The short answer is because history is not a result but a process. Long answer: growing of USD FRS rate after 2008 depresses car industry worldwide. Resources that used previously to private consumption are redirected to infrastructure and small businesses. Money was rolling on wheels earlier , is walking now. Kyiv is in a trend. Kyiv has the probably one of best walking area in the world capital cities.
@@denistkach100 and who did / financed all the recent renovations in Kyiv, then? If you compare Klitchko to previous Kyiv mayors, fex, Chernovetsky, Klitchko is better.
@@yuliyakolchenko5581 I lived in Kyiv for three years starting 2015 after many other cities. And for this critical moment in Ukraine's history in Kyiv nothing changed. Nothing what so ever!!! I wish that one day you will learn what a decent mayor is like. ! 😂
Hello peter. Im french. I live in kiev. In one of your videos, I saw that you were definitely living in the same neighborhood as me. You have visited the city and there are still some things that you have not seen and are really pretty so if that tells you write me and I will show you. 👍
@@ЛилияКлыкова-ч4ф а как будет спуск в укр языке тогда...не в названии андреевского узвоза а вообще спуск как слово? как тогда? что нет слова спускатися?
В українській мові є слово "спускатися", хоча прийнято вживати "сходити з гори", в данному випадку йдеться про конкретну назву вулиці "Андріївський узвіз".

@@PaulJohnson-jo7kt Not being a fan of historical fiction and such like, i.e. stories about dragons, magicians, or the mighty state of Ukraine that fought with the Roman empire, stormed Dunkirk, and colonised Mars and Venus, I only generally tend to mention something that can be corroborated with genuine documents, like for instance the forced Ukrainisation of Donbass and Novorossiya carried out as part of the Bolsheviks' nativisation campaign. Actual people from Russia started settling there in more or less significant numbers since the middle of the 18th century, which is why exactly they are the majority there. The so-called Ukrainians, which by the way were not referred to with this name back then, also started pouring into the area after they were generously allowed to settle there by the Russian monarchs.
Kyiv is good city!
Kiev,not Kyiv.
@@bergherv1230 Are you russian?
It would be great to meet you at the streets in Kyiv) Yo are breathtaking, man) Thank you for such love to this city) Regards)
Kyiv not Kiev!
Corrected )
@@1985sabotag дякую)
it's like I've seen you before but where xm? 😂😂😂😂 xaxa
good luck and you welcome в києві mister "J"
Love ur videos
Thank you for video. But it`s better to use "Andriivskiy uzviz" instead of "Andreevskiy spusk". This is an ukrainian/russian naming case.
Spusk in English incline.
@@mikhailtsipenyuk5218 Sure, you are right. But it is a good practice to transliterate locale namings, not to translate.
See some maps on city info panels and you'll see "vulitza", "tupyk" and so on.
@@mikhailtsipenyuk5218 in English the correct word would be descent
Thank you!
How many of these businesses are still open?
17:08 You should film in Europe in 25fps to avoid that kind of flicker
17:00 can you show us a menu or two please :)
By the way, this wooden building on 4:40 is actually the most old wooden building in Kyiv. Not sure if the most old in Kyiv at all.

What blue and white church is that? A different one than on the last video?
I see why you moved there Peter.❤️
What are you filming with? My procam bounces around the point I can't hardly watch it.
Yes, keep the small business alive. You just shot this video today. Maybe I will see you on the streets tomorrow...never know. I leave Kyiv tomorrow and go to Kharkiv to meet with some of the technology companies there. I will have to check out your video on that city.
Almost the same route people walk on Kyiv day.
I miss being there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice video 👍🏻

@@nataliasantenello yes I seen that all but want to see latest update on city and market again 😊
@@nataliasantenello I stay there some years - so have a special attachments with the city so always wait for new vlogs of odessa city . Specially the way peter and bald Express the view of USSR
and yes I had that feeling when i was there
Oh, WOW! New boardwalks, stairwells and the wheel became permanent. Also the food market and the new area renovations they are doing, why only now and not before?
The short answer is because history is not a result but a process. Long answer: growing of USD FRS rate after 2008 depresses car industry worldwide. Resources that used previously to private consumption are redirected to infrastructure and small businesses.
Money was rolling on wheels earlier , is walking now. Kyiv is in a trend.
Kyiv has the probably one of best walking area in the world capital cities.
Klitchko is the new mayor and he does a lot in reconstruction of the Kyiv center
@@yuliyakolchenko5581 you must be kidding, lol 😂
@@denistkach100 and who did / financed all the recent renovations in Kyiv, then? If you compare Klitchko to previous Kyiv mayors, fex, Chernovetsky, Klitchko is better.
@@yuliyakolchenko5581 I lived in Kyiv for three years starting 2015 after many other cities. And for this critical moment in Ukraine's history in Kyiv nothing changed. Nothing what so ever!!! I wish that one day you will learn what a decent mayor is like. ! 😂
Hello peter. Im french. I live in kiev.
In one of your videos, I saw that you were definitely living in the same neighborhood as me.
You have visited the city and there are still some things that you have not seen and are really pretty so if that tells you write me and I will show you.
👍
Петро, Андіївський спуск, такого немає. Чи є українською - Андріївський узвіз, чи російською - Андреевский спуск.
а шо в укр мові нема слова спуск? и вообще задолбали вечно придираться к речи поправлять какая нафиг разница?? это такое тупое занятие
@@sergsfault в конкретном случае да,но спускатися и свозить(вниз) узвіз,равно как варить пиво и кипятить пиво.....
@@sergsfault Нема!
@@ЛилияКлыкова-ч4ф а как будет спуск в укр языке тогда...не в названии андреевского узвоза а вообще спуск как слово? как тогда? что нет слова спускатися?
В українській мові є слово "спускатися", хоча прийнято вживати "сходити з гори", в данному випадку йдеться про конкретну назву вулиці "Андріївський узвіз".
