Kiev is the city where the new and the old create excellent possibilities for historical and aesthetical tourism. Nevertheless, before you become a visitor to this incredible city, take your time to figure out at least 2 questions: accommodation and transport.

Let us discuss choosing an apartment. Start by considering your budget and your tastes, you could either choose to stay in a Kiev hotel, or rent an apartment. Mind the class of Kiev hotels to evaluate the quality of the service and accommodation and the price you are willing to pay for it.

Kyiv has a number of luxury hotels. There are literary tens and tens of less chic Kiev accommodation opportunities. A five star hotel will cost you around $400-850 per 24 hrs, four star hotels will cost $150-$500, three stars will cost you about $70-300, two stars will be from $50 to 120 and 1 star hotels cost around 25-100 per 24 hours.

There exist also several hostels in the city for youth. In a regular hostel you will find unpretentious but fresh accommodation facilities and some beds in one and the same room.

In case you want to spare some money, you might want to rent an apartment. Instead of a small hotel room for about $90-150 you can get an excellent flat in the downtown. Inexpensive one-room apartments can be found for no more than $50. Some owners that allow you to rent such Kyiv apartments may as well meet you at the airport. The rule of thumb of here is to book the room some days ahead.

If you are really desperate for money or would like to have something more extreme, you may rent a berth inside a train car. There is a train depot not far from the train station
