A unique Christian church that does not have bells. The church has its own observation deck, from which you can clearly see the left bank of Kyiv and the Dnieper River. The church just opened after a complete restoration.

I visited just before the start of war, so my review is based on my experience at that time.
One of the most beautiful churches in Europe, imo. Set in an amazing setting. Visit at night if you can as the lights make it even more spectacular.

Huge and beautiful building. Make sure you get a ticket from the little office before attempting to gain access. Unable to get inside, but I think it would be worth it just to walk around the outside. The views across Kyiv are stunning x

Very beautiful building, close to gate you know buy the ticket in the corner office. Small stairs after you see the miracle. Shine and gold everywhere and the panorama from in here amazing.

The church itself is so beautiful, not just outside but also inside. The fact that is in the top of the hill makes a beautiful contrast with the sky and the greens around. Definitely a gem and a mandatory visit in Kiev.

It’s a big church! You have to pay to go to the observation deck, or the museum inside. 20UAH for the deck, 80 for the museum. Views are worth it, and the inside of the church is…a church. Cool though

Fun place during warmer weather. Small market at the base and going down the cobblestone road. Go with a local friend and have them make purchases or you will be charged more as a foreigner.

The fabulous church that recently have been renovated and now opened to the public. Definitely visit this amazing landmark, if you're in Kyiv.
I can only describe it as magnificent. So again, it's unequivocally worth a visit.

Beautiful architecture style, as the location context, recommended much more in weekends to live the place with more people.

It is gorgeous and luxurious, and can be seen from all the neighborhood. Such a relief that all the way uphill was worthy of it and I got to this temple, that I got visual since Kontraktowa square.

Whether it is day or night, the charm of this church (and not a cathedral, a mistake I have noticed very often, unfortunately) remains unchanged.

St. Andrew’s Church in Kiev is one of the most striking Baroque buildings. Its architecture and location are genuinely unique.

One of the most beautiful churches in Kyiv. It is located in z very interesting and historical places, Andriivskii descent. The history of this place and this church is very interesting.

The Cathedral is truly beautiful, if you enjoyed the Vatican city then you will like this place. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is no photography inside, and there are lots of stern looking ladies sitting inside that will stare at you in.. Read more » you get your phone out. There are also a few beautiful artifacts, such as the image of Mary made from painted Easter Eggs. There is a scale model of ancient Kyiv with a free speaker in multiple European languages that last about seven minutes. There were tours available but only in Ukrainian/Russian on an adhoc basis.
The Bell Tower provides views across the city. Watch out for the metal post about ten steps up. You quickly realise that you need to duck to avoid it. The steps are not crazy small, and they are broken up by the viewing platforms. The tower in Princes Street in Edinburgh is much tighter and busier than when I went in late December, but until you get to the first viewing platform the steps do get quiet small. A combined ticket was 200, roughly 6 euros in Dec 2018.
