How to Travel around Kiev

As a cosmopolitan hub, getting around Kiev is easy. There is a wide range of bus routes, as well as various tram services (some of which are extremely traditional and worth trying out just for the experience) and inner-city trains. Driving is an option, although it is not particularly recommended as the city can get rather congested and public transport is more than sufficient.
