Kiev is the city where the modern and the old create excellent chances for historical and aesthetical tourism. Nevertheless, before you visit this fantastic city, take your time to decide on at least two questions: accommodation and transport.

Let us discuss selecting a place to stay. Start by considering what you can afford and your tastes, you may either choose to stay in a Kiev hotel, or rent an apartment. Mind the class of Kiev hotels to estimate the comfort you require and the price you can afford.

The Ukrainian capital boasts of several high-class hotels. There are literary tens and tens of less chic Kiev accommodation facilities. A five star accommodation will cost you around $400-850 per night, 4 stars will cost $150-$500, 3 star hotels will cost you about $70-300, two stars will be from $50 to 120 and 1 star hotels charge around 25-100 per 24 hours.

There are as well a couple of hostels in the city for youth. In a regular hostel you can have modest but clean accommodation and several sofas or beds in one and the same room.

If you want to spare some money, you might want to rent an apartment. For the cost of a modest hotel room in the price range of $90-150 you can rent an excellent flat in the city center. Single room cheep flats can be found for less than $50. Many companies that allow you to rent such Kyiv apartments might as well offer to meet you when you arrive. The rule of thumb of here is to book the room at least a couple of days in advance.

In case you are pressed for money or would like to have something more extreme, you may rent a sleeping berth inside a train car. There is a train depot not far from the train station
