    Visited just before the war. A beautiful Orthodox church. Did not take photos of the inside but definitely worth going in.

    I walk to this church almost everyday when I was living near this church. I go there just to admire the beauty and tranquility it offers. Interior architecture is nicely done.

    A beautiful and historic Orthodox Church. A marvel of art with numerous icons present. As a Reformed Presbyterian I do not agree with the theology behind much of what is present in this church building but it is an amazing church from the standpoint of Christian history. Most certainly worth visiting.

    A beautiful cathedral, inside and out. The exterior walls are a striking yellow, surmounted by domes of deep blue set with stars and a central dome of gold. The interior is filled with icons and murals. There are disputes over which section of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church owns this cathedral, but as a tourist it is well worth visiting. It was built in 1852 to commemorate the Baptism of the Rus.

    Eine sehr schöne und heilige Kathedrale. Es wird drinnen sehr schön gesungen und man kann hier Seelenruhe finden. Die Menschen sind sehr freundlich und man fühlt sich echt näher zu Gott. Die Kirche hat sehr schöne Dächer und ist sehr gelb. Direkt gegenüber kann man in einem schönen botanischen Garten spazieren gehen.

    It is a handsome church on the outside, but the inside will take your breath away. It was decorated by several famous Russian painters and it is absolutely spectacular! Video and photos are allowed for a very small fee, and scarves are available for women to cover their heads.

    Beautiful Cathedral, always brings peace and harmony. Weather you are a religious or just looking to visit a historic and my importantly a place on the list of place to visit in Kiev this is a must see. The art, the culture traditions are all of the things you will definitely see and experience at the St. Volodymyrs Cathedral.

    A beautiful and peaceful Cathedral in the center of the city. We'll connected by public transport... Beautiful and picturesque surroundings... Benches and lush green trees in the compound provide good facility to rest and enjoy the holy ambience... In the inside, one can see great architecture and beautifully decorated altars. One can even buy some holy/spiritual items inside. Parking of vehicles may be a problem during peak time... Close to Kyiv Boranical Gardens, Hotel Hilton and some good eating joints...

    (Translated by Google) A wonderful peaceful place, an incredibly beautiful cathedral, now they ask to wear masks, and do not forget to take a kerchief / scarf with you to cover your head. (Original) Прекрасное умиротворенное место, безумно красивый собор, сейчас просят одевать маски, и не забывать брать с собой косынку\ шарф покрывать голову.
