Street art in Kiev
Kiev is the perfect mix between old and new, between Eastern and Western Europe. The last couple of years, the number of large-scale murals in Kiev has increased a lot. You will find street art all over the city. It is impossible to see all street in Kiev during only 1 visit. I would advise picking a few neighborhoods to hunt for street art.
This website shows a map of all street art there is to find in Kiev. We only walked around 1 neighborhood to look at street art. Even in this small area, you will see some amazing murals by various artists.
