I've just returned from Kiev, having seen this monument. I'm not normally into touristy stuff, but this was absolutely incredible. 'Huge' does not do it justice - and the sculptures surrounding the monument are stunning. My number one recommendation if you're visiting Kiev - however briefly.

This is a most fantastic area to visit. Put it near the top of your itinerary.
