Ukraine's Ambience
Making your life comfortable in Kyiv
Home Page
Our site is designed to help foreigners visiting Kyiv, or living there, to make their stay/life safe and comfortable and to enjoy every day spent in Kyiv. Please use this unique site to quickly find local providers of many essential goods and services and to free up your time for enjoying Ukraine’s capital.
Information about local businesses is organised around the most important (in our opinion) needs of a visitor/resident (see the Site Overview). We used several criteria to select for you the most relevant providers and are fully committed to expand our current list to help you find better goods and/or services a year from now. Indeed, information offered on those businesses shall be viewed as our suggestion not an endorsement.
Additionally, this site offers articles that contain useful information for a visitor/resident. For instance, articles on Ukrainian holidays in Exploring Ukraine, an overview of health emergency service providers in Emergencies in Kyiv. To a first-time visitor, we present some key facts about Ukraine and its major city below.
