Kyiv residents couldn’t be happier that spring has finally arrived. This past winter has been one of the harshest in recent memory and saw the capital literally trapped beneath snow, ice, and extremely freezing temperatures for nearly two months. With that in mind, if a burly Ukrainian sits next to you on a park bench and takes off his shirt, don’t be alarmed…he just needs to soak in some rays to get over the cabin fever.

The main theme of this Spring in Kyiv is of course the upcoming Euro2012 Championship. Thought pessimists predicted total failure of Ukraine as a co-host country, almost everything has been done to ensure the football extravaganza happens without much of a glitch. The Olympic Stadium was finished almost in time and has already hosted some matches. A completely newly built Terminal D at Boryspil International will be open soon, and a great number of newly built hotels and hostels have opened their doors to welcome football funs.

For those who haven’t checked the match schedule nor have any clue about this great event in Ukraine, we want to inform you that Kyiv hosts 3 group stage matches on the 11th, 15th and 19th of June. The semi-final is on 24th of June, and the finale on the 1st of July.

March, April and May are chock-full of holidays, and Ukrainians always find a way to put their busy lives on hold and celebrate full tilt. Locals add their own unique twists to April Fools’Day (1stApril). Easter this year falls on the 15th of April. International Workers Day is celebrated on the 1st & 2nd of May. Victory Day is on the 9th of May. These latter two holidays see the city centre packed with crowds, parades and concerts. The cherry on top is Kyiv Day! Scheduled this year on 27th May, this is one of the rockin’est celebrations of the year.

You couldn’t have chosen a better time to visit Ukraine’s capital. Kyiv is at its glorious best in spring, so find a bench in the sunshine take a deep breath and just let go.

Nosolodzhuisya! Enjoy!
