About the project

Kyiv is an open and inclusive city that welcomes everyone who comes here, regardless of origin, language or history. It is a big home where everyone can find their place: a native, a migrant, a guest from abroad or a tourist. There is no division here into “their own” and “strangers” – the city creates a space for equal opportunities, support and mutual respect.

The capital of Ukraine stands as the heart of the country and a symbol of unity, combining ancient history and modern meanings. It offers not only architecture and culture, but also a special atmosphere of mutual care, shelter and new beginnings. “The city of everyone” is Kyiv, where you can feel at home even when you come here for the first time, and which always remains a part of the life of those who have touched its rhythm at least once.

River Station

River Station
Route

The Kyiv River Station, built between 1957 and 1961 according to the design of architects Volodymyr Ladnyi, Hryhorii Slutskyi, and Petro Shpylchenko, is one of the most recognizable examples of modernist architecture in Ukraine. Its silhouette, resembling a white passenger riverboat with a tall mast, is harmoniously integrated into the landscape of Poshtova Ploshcha: due to the difference in elevation, the building has two floors on the city side and four on the Dnipro side.

Of particular artistic value are the interiors of the station, decorated with unique mosaic panels created by Stepan Kotkov, Valerii Lamakh, and Ivan Lytovchenko. These works, made using smalt and ceramics, reflect the history of the Dnipro River as a trade route and are iconic examples of Ukrainian monumental art of the mid-20th century.

Today, the station functions not only as a popular cultural and tourist hub. It hosts art exhibitions and gastronomic events, while its open terraces remain one of the best viewpoints for observing panoramas of the Left Bank and sunsets over the Dnipro.
