49. Kyiv, Ukraine

Kyiv is the capital and most populated city in Ukraine. It is one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that started on February 24, 2022, this city and this country are not ideal for visiting for the time being. However, when conditions stabilize in the future, top places to visit might include Pechersk Lavra (Caves Monastery), the Motherland Monument, Saint Sophia Cathedral and Andriivskyi Descent.
