As home to many high-end shops, the TsUM department store is an attraction as much as it is a shopping mall. The historic building has a very Soviet air about it, and as nicknamed "Kyiv's Harrods", this giant has anything your heart desires.
Shopping
Looking at the variety of shops and department stores in the streets of Kyiv makes it hard to believe that just a couple of decades ago, shopping was practically non-existent. Today, you can find anything and everything in the fashion-conscious Ukrainian capital: while TsUM department store is known as "Kyiv’s Harrods" and the posh Mandarin Plaza for its moneyed shop, Dream Town is more down to earth. Markets, bookstores and wine boutiques fill the bustling Ukrainian capital and they will keep you busy for days on end, if you just let them.
