Shopping in Kyiv

  1. A

    TsUM

    This purely Soviet monolith is where you should head when replacing any lost or damaged essentials.

  2. Globus Mall

    Clothing outlets line Khreshchatyk and fill the enormous underground Globus mall. However, prices aren’t always cheap and some of the fashions (including fur) might not appeal to Western tastes.

    Original Ukrainian Souvenirs

    Original Ukrainian Souvenirs has a great selection of high-quality embroidered shirts and skirts, bulavy (spiked clubs carried by Cossack hetmans), and pysanky.

  4. Volodymyrsky Rynok

    One block west of Palats Ukraina metro station, this market has more local, and hence less expensive produce. Its wave-like roof is architecturally impressive.

  5. C

    Bessarabsky Rynok

    Grocery shopping is rarely such an aesthetically pleasing experience, so this market full of colourful fruit and veg should definitely not be missed.

    An upscale supermarket with imported foods, pre-prepared meals and – what else? – a sushi bar.

    Petrivka Market

    Locals call it the ‘book market’ but you can get a vast array of junk here. It’s also Kyiv’s main receptacle of DVDs, CDs and software of questionable legitimacy.
