Kyiv is the chestnut capital of Europe

Charles de Gaulle said: «I have seen many parks in cities but I have never seen a city in a park». This is how, in 1966, one of the most famous French politicians of the 20th century and at the time the President of France described his visit to the Ukrainian capital. He visited the Mariinsky Palace, Askold's grave and the Park of Eternal Glory. The politician summed up the visit with the words: «We were well received in Kiev».

The unofficial symbol of Kiev is the chestnut. These trees have been planted along the central street of Khreshchatyk for decades. Now many of the chestnuts have been replaced, but according to the plan of the municipality, their return is planned. A walk along Khreshchatyk will give you good impressions, and if you get to house № 36, you can find a bronze chestnut figurine, installed within the framework of the «Look» project, as a symbol of the street.
