About
Few are unaware of Kiev's main street - Khreshchatyk. It is located between European Square and Bessarabska Square. The street was founded in the early 19th century. Over its existence, it has changed its name three times until, finally, in 1869, it acquired its current name. Khreshchatyk is famous for many buildings and people who have lived here. However, it also has historical significance. For instance, in 1982, it was here that the first electric tram line in the Russian Empire was launched, connecting Khreshchatyk with Podil. Today, all city festivals take place on Khreshchatyk, with concerts, exhibitions, fairs, etc., being organized.
Reviews and Ratings
Write a reviewНепросто оценить столь известное место, как главная улица украинская столицы. О Крещатике можно говорить долго и витиевато. Но лучше всего сюда прийти самому и ощутить ауру и атмосферу, которые присущи этой улице. Крещатик каждому видится по- своему, но никого не оставит равнодушным.

Хрещатик как основная улица мне в целом нравится.
