Shopping in Kiev

Khreschatyk is truly the Oxford Street of Kiev - you can find anything here from mobile phones and cheap clothes to fine porcelain and expensive watches. But there are a number of malls in the city centre.

Key areas: 

For a more traditional Ukrainian shopping experience, head for the Bessarabsky Rynok at the corner of Kreschatyk and Prospect Shevchenka. An informal gathering of souvenir stall holders can be found on Maidan Nezalezhnosti square. Andrivsky Uziz is lined with souvenir vendors but you will also find genuine arts and crafts here and good quality art galleries.

Shopping centres: 

Those looking for shopping centres in Kiev will be drawn towards the imposing glass atrium of the Globus behind the Maidan Nezalezhnosti, but the upmarket Mandarin-Plaza, 6 Basseynaya Street, is the best all-rounder with a number of very good restaurants amid the chic boutiques to feed hungry (and well-off) shoppers.

Opening hours: 

Most shops and malls in Kiev open daily 1000-1800.
