Since its foundation as the cave monastery in 1051 the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra has been a preeminent center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe.

Great tour, knowledgable, kind guide - highly recommended!
Very interesting! 👌🏻👌🏻
Lavra hills in itself it huge and needs a good 2-4 hours to My suggestion is if you want to see that, go on your own as the guide does not take you in but only shows you the place from If you are interested to explore more about the surrounding and get to know more about the history it’s worth taking the free walking your and then visit Lavra hills once you are done with the walking Marina was quite informative and pleasant.
The tour guide was Anna, she was very prepared and could tell lot of stories around the area. Its a very nice combination of the churches and the communist buildings. highly recommended
