About this activity
Make your own way to meet your guide at the main entrance of the Kyevo-Pecherska Lavra Monastery.

Known as the most sacred place in the Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus, the Lavra Monastery houses one of the largest cathedrals in Kiev in addition to a network of catacombs that contain mummies of monks and saints, much like the pyramids of Egypt.

Founded by monks in the 11th century and located in the picturesque Dnieper hills, the monastery complex is revered by Orthodox Christians in the Ukraine and other east Slavic nations. See churches built in the Byzantine and Baroque style, and museums including the museum of Historical Treasures and Jewelry, the Museum of Ukrainian Decorative and Applied Art, and the Museum of Miniatures.

Your guide also takes you to explore the caves and ancient crypts, explaining how the monks worshipped and lived in the underground labyrinth.
