Kyiv metro is not only the most convenient public transport, it’s also an interesting travel attraction, as it counts with many beautiful and unusual stations. Officially opened in 1960, today Kyiv metro system consists of three lines – red, blue and green and has over 50 stations.

We invite you on a cheerful journey through the most scenic metro stations together with a friendly local guide. Your acquaintance with Kyiv metro starts from one of the deepest stations in the whole world – Arsenalna. Being 105,5-meters deep with two incredibly fast escalators, it is definitely one of the highlights of our tour.

Not all the stations of Kyiv metro go underground. You can see it for yourself as you cross the Dnipro River through the Metro Bridge. Then, visit University station, which has an interesting feature in its decoration. The ancient ammonites, who lived on Earth millions years ago, are clearly seen in the pink marble. Its hall is also decorated with the busts of prominent Ukrainian and Russian scientists.

Another must-visit station of Kyiv metro is Zoloti Vorota or the Golden Gates, which is one of the most spectacular stations. Built at the end of soviet era, in 1990, it represents the style of the legendary Kyivan Rus palaces of princes Volodymyr the Great and Yaroslav the Wise.

Travel from the past to the present by visiting Osokorky station –  one of the latest ones in Kyivan metro system, built in 1992. It became popular thanks to the new murals, which were added to its hall in 2018.
