The capital of Ukraine is actively developing, but at the same time carefully preserves the traditions and evidence of ancient culture. This is what attracts a huge number of tourists, which is growing every year. But their rest is sometimes complicated by the search for a particular street in the city.
Instructions
Step 1
Contact the hotel employee at the reception. If you are staying at a hotel, the best way to find out about the location of the street you need is to ask a question to the people of Kiev who work there. First, they know the city and will most likely prompt you for the information you need right away. Secondly, they have computers and maps at their disposal that will help in case of not knowing a particular street. Most of the tourist sites are well-known, so you won't have any problems finding them.
Step 2
Ask for advice from passers-by If you need to find the street when you have already left your hotel, do not hesitate to contact the townspeople. Kievans are famous for their friendliness, so they will not refuse you help. The Russian language is understood everywhere, however, the answer in 90 percent of cases will sound in Ukrainian.
Step 3
Refer to the map When walking around Kiev as a tourist, take care of buying a small paper map (you will find pocket versions in souvenir shops and bookstores). Knowing your location and having the name of the street, it will be quite easy for you to find your way. In addition, the map will help in the direction of the same passers-by.
Step 4
Look on the Internet Popular services Google Maps and Yandex. Maps (maps.google.ru/ and maps.yandex.ru/) provide an opportunity to find the desired street and even a house, simply by entering the name into the search bar. In addition, you can indicate your location, and the program itself will build a route for you. If you do not have a compact netbook or tablet at hand, contact the Internet shops or the waiters in the cafe, who will allow you to use your work computer for a cup of coffee drunk in the establishment.
Step 5
Don't forget about your phone Your phone most likely has the ability to access the Internet in one of various ways (WiFi, 3g). Use it to find your location and find the street you want.
Step 6
Take a Taxi If all your searches are unsuccessful, invest in a taxi. They are equipped with meters, so you won't pay extra. In addition to the driver's knowledge, the navigator will also provide assistance, which you can always rely on.
