The capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, captivates tourists with its colorfulness and versatility. Here, you can admire the monumental buildings of the Classicist era, count the floors in high-tech business centers, admire the luxury of palaces and cathedrals with Baroque elements, or suddenly come across a fancy castle with neo-Gothic techniques.

Employees of the flower delivery company in Ukraine, Ukraineflora, do not cease to admire the picturesqueness of the capital. Therefore, we decided to confess our love to the heart of our country and share a short article about the mood of Kyiv, floristics, tourist places, and details that emphasize its versatility. As devoted fans of flowers, we will not miss the opportunity to tell what our favorite city conquers us daily.

Impressive information about Kyiv in numbers

We offer to start acquaintance with the Ukrainian capital with some fascinating facts:

• The city's official date of birth is considered the 482nd year. Archaeological research indicates that in the 6th to 7th century AD, the first settlements were made on the lands of Kyiv. It seems that the exact time of the birth of the Ukrainian capital will remain a mystery.
  
• In the city, buildings are made in 30 different styles. Including the unique Cossack and Ukrainian Baroque.
• "Capital of chestnuts" is Kyiv's famous nickname. It has about 1 million of these trees. The city is often compared to Japan in Sakura blossoms during the chestnut blossom period.
• The capital's main street, Khreshchatyk, breaks two records at once. It is the shortest central street in Europe. Its length is only 1.33 km. At the same time, it is the broadest central street in Europe - 75 meters.
