Foreword
4
Much to the Grinch’s delight, Christmas celebra-
tions were officially banned during the Soviet era.
Much to the Grinch’s dissatisfaction, contemporary
Ukrainians are making up for lost Christmases by
celebrating twice: once on December 24 and of-
ficially on January 7. The good old habit of partying
on New Year’s Eve is still alive and well, and if you
happen to be in Kyiv, expect plenty of decorated
trees, massive firework displays and enough vodka
to send Did Moroz (Grandfather Frost, a.k.a Santa
Clause) to an early grave.
Locals usually spend New Year’s Eve with family
and friends eating massive portions of scrump-
tious festive dishes, exchanging presents and
partying until the sun comes up. Thousands are
expected to join the traditional outdoor party on
Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square), and
with hundreds of business owners already in place
protesting the country’s new tax code, celebrations
at the capital’s main square should be extra special
this year. Getting a table at a popular restaurant
or club can be tricky - many have been booked
for months - but don’t get discouraged, these
things have a magical way of working their way
out. According to local tradition, if you make a wish
when the clock strikes twelve and then drink the
champagne in your glass to the final drop, your wish
will come true.
Christmas in Ukraine is officially celebrated on
January 7, the date designated by the Ukrainian Or-
thodox calendar. Festivities begin on Christmas Eve
(Sviat Vechir) with Holy Supper (Sviata Vecheria).
Family and friends come together to feast on an
eye-popping, belly-busting assortment of no less
than 12 dishes including the mandatory Kuti - por-
ridge prepared with a special syrup of honey, grated
poppy seeds, raisins and walnuts. Enjoy!
The In Your Pocket team would like to wish you
Z Novym Rokom (Happy New Year) and Z Rizdvom
(Merry Christmas)!

ArrivAl & trAnsport
5
By plane
Boryspil State International Airport (
Аеропорт Бориспiль
)
is where almost all international flights land and depart. The
smaller Kyiv Zhulyani Airport (
Аеропорт Київ Жуляни
) is
only 8km from centre and handles mostly domestic travel
and Wizz Air flights from Europe.
Located 34km east of Kyiv, Boryspil has recently opened
its largest Terminal, D. International passengers now ar-
rive and depart at Terminals B, D and F. Terminal B also
services domestic flights. Ticket agents, immigration, and
customs officials speak some English, so don’t worry if
you haven’t yet mastered Ukrainian or Russian. Customs
control has been greatly relaxed in recent years, but it still
makes sense to travel light and pass through the green
express line when arriving. If you need to connect to a local
flight, a free shuttle bus circulates between terminals every
20 min. Feel like stretching your legs? Walk time between
all Terminals is about 15 min. At all terminals you will find
currency exchange offices (
обмiн валют
), information,
car rental offices, cafes, public telephones, etc.
Getting to town
Exiting of the terminals in Boryspil Airport,
you are sure to be approached by cabbies. The 20-25 minute
ride to centre will set you back about 200-250Hr.
SkyBuses
headed to Kyiv leave from Terminal B and F roughly every 10-
15 minutes. The charge is 27Hr and the bus will drop you off
about an hour later at the Central Train Station or you can get
off at the first stop near the Kharkivska metro station (green
line). Tickets are available online at www.skybus.kiev.ua.
A taxi from
Kyiv Zhulyany Airport
to the city centre should
not cost you more than 70Hr.
Trolleybus #9 (1.50Hr)
brings you to Tereschenkivska street nearby Ploscha Lva
Tolstoho metro station (blue line).
Trolleybus #22
goes to
Dorohozhychi metro station (green line).
Marshrutka #213
(2.50Hr) shuttles passengers to Dorohozhychi (green line)
and Petrivka (blue line) metro stations.

By bus
All international buses arrive at Kyiv’s Central Bus Station
(
tsentralnyi avtovokzal
). The station is still waiting for its
European renovations and sits like a hideous centrepiece on
Kyiv’s most unsightly square, Moskovs’ka ploscha. A currency
exchange office (
обмін валют
) is next to the main exit, and
just outside is an ATM (
банкомат
) that dispenses Ukrainian
hryvnia. If you need to stash your bags, a left-luggage office is
available (open 06:00 - 11:00, 11:30 - 17:00, 17:30 - 22:00).
Getting to town
Taxis are always on hand and can take you
to the city centre for approximately 50Hr. Demiivs’ka metro
station (blue line) is right near the bus station. Just go round
McDonalds’ building, pass a subway and find the metro
entrance to your right.

By train
The refurbished Central Railway Station (
центральний
вокзал
) has now been joined by a futuristic-looking South-
ern Railway Station (
південний вокзал
), with the platforms
located between the two. A new waiting lounge up the stairs
to the left from the central main hall boasts comfy couches
for a 10Hr admission fee. Currency exchange
(
обмін валют
)
points and ATMs (
банкомат
) are in the main halls of each
station. Telephone calls can be made by paying money at a
window on the 2nd floor near the central station’s escalators
and then proceeding to the appropriate booth. Coin-operated
In the news
NEW STOP SMOKING LAW
You’re never too far away from a lit cigarette in Ukraine,
and in some bars and clubs the term second-hand
smoke just doesn’t seem to matter. Smokers enjoy a
ridiculously cheap selection of cigarettes hawked by
one of the many
babushkas
and corner kiosks that are
located throughout the city. But a new more rigorous
law on smoking prohibition takes effect nationwide on
December 16, 2012. It sets a total ban on smoking in
restaurants, bars, clubs and cafes (except open terraces),
cultural, medical, educational and sport institutions
(including playgrounds and stadiums), public transport
(including stops), underpasses (subways), and inside
apartment buildings (including stairs and lifts). All other
premises and buildings (including hotels, hostels, airports,
railway terminals) should have designated smoking areas
equipped with exhaust ventilation. The law also sets fines
from 51–10,000Hr for anyone breaking the law.
Passport for train tickets
Starting from January 1, 2013 to buy a ticket for any
train (except regional) the one must produce a passport
or driving licence. Buying tickets online you should state
you name at the certain fields. Boarding on a train you
also must provide a document.
pay telephones are scattered throughout the building, while
card-operated ones are mostly outside the central entrance.
Getting to town
You’re basically in it already, but short
taxi
rides to Khreschatyk Street area cost 50Hr and up. The
entrance to metro station Vokzal’na (red line) is to your left
as you exit the central station - look for the green letter M.
Khreschatyk is only three stops east on the red line. Various
trolleybuses, buses and minivans also depart from the central
station. Those with light bags and fresh legs can head down
the main road and turn right at Shevchenko Boulevard , which
runs into Khreschatyk.
