Kiev. The capital of Ukraine and an important economic hub of Eastern Europe is situated in north area of the country on the Dnieper River. After seeing the differences in styles of the St. Sophia Cathedral, St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral, and St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Cathedral, you’ll quickly realize how eclectic and colorful this city is.
