National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine — Attraction in Kyiv

Very good. If you wish to visit houses entrances and with such you want to visit all the village, take more than 5 hours. With bicycle I was able to visit almost everything without spending much time in each house. Bicycle rental just before entrance: 100 UAH per hour (you pay after return), 200 UAH deposit. Much of the houses have dedicated personal - speaker but they are old people not speaking much other languages. Make sure you look at the plan, Carpathian district houses is a bit hidden from others. There is also fast food in the area.

What is missing: better marking of trails, better language knowledge of people, more rubbish bins needed. I am not aware about the automatic speaker equipment in foreign languages. I think the gardens / grass next to houses should be better handled and it would make the area much more interesting. The houses themselves are not protected against lightning (they can burn easily). A service for disabled persons should help, together with...

This open air museum is well worth visiting to get away from the hustle and bustle of Kyiv.. Covering around 160 hectares, the Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Life (Музей народної архітектури та побуту) gives you a feel of how people used to live in different parts of Ukraine. There are six restored rural Ukrainian villages dotted around the place with old huts, wooden mills and churches from all over Ukraine carefully restored.. It's possible to hire a bike at the entrance and cycle through the different eras of Ukrainian architecture featured or take a leisurely stroll along the many paths that meander around this place.. There is an eatery area with a good selection of food and drink available along with local produce such as honey for purchase.. To get here via public transport from downtown Kyiv is relatively straightforward by taking Bus #156 or #172 from Olimpiiska, Lybidska or Vystavkovy Tsentr Metro stations.. Highly recommended place to visit on a...

Well worth the visit! You get to see how people used to live hundreds of years ago.

This is open air museum is a collection of authentic houses and churches from all over Ukraine. They were dismantled and reconstructed in this historical park. Some houses are more then 200 years old. I’ll of the houses are original (not reconstructions). Most of the are open and decorated with authentic household items. It’s very interesting to see what people were using during their daily life back then. Churches are still used today for service and during holidays.

When you’ll get hungry you’ll find plenty of great authentic food on the premises.

It will take you several hours to see the whole park, so schedule at least ½ day. You can also rent bicycles and get to places faster. In fact many locals come here just to ride their bikes.

It is a great retreat from city life. Even though the park is in the city, you’ll feel like you are...
