Introduction
Andriivskyi Uzviz is located in the ancient cultural district of Kiev, named after St. Andrew's Church. During the Kievan Rus period, artisans and small merchants lived in the lower city, so Andriivskyi Uzviz became an important place for them to trade crafts. Today, the street has been restored to its appearance in the last century and has handicraft workshops and art salons selling various crafts and souvenirs with Ukrainian ethnic characteristics. Andriivskyi Uzviz is 720 meters long, winding down from St. Andrew's Church to the Podil district of the lower city. As a popular tourist destination, there are small stalls selling various souvenirs and crafts along the way. Here, visitors can buy all kinds of souvenirs, including handicrafts, paintings and Soviet-style products. Address Andriyivsky uzviz Verkhniy Gorod
