We split our spring break between 2 places - Kiev and Stockholm. Probably sounds a bit random, but we have friends in both places we were visiting.
Kiev was much nicer than I was expecting. It definitely had what you would think of as a Russian feel to it (though we've never been to Russia so who knows). We found it had good food, transportation, parks, enough shopping but not crazy shopping, and was incredibly inexpensive (has obviously fluctuated a lot in the last year).
With an absence of playgrounds in Kathmandu, this was one of our first stops
Watching the kids play at the playground
Independence Square, or Maidan Nezalezhnosti, the central square in Kiev;
site of massive protests in 2013
Candles at Independence Square
Coffee from a pink snail? Yes please.
Another park
Andreevskaya, or Saint Andrew, Church on Andreevsky Spusk street
Architecture
Love the gold roofs
We spent 4 days in Kiev and could have spent more, but having a friend/tour guide certainly helped! Next up: Spring break Part 2 - Stockholm!
