Unforgettable Riverfront Stroll
This date includes a visit to city's landmarks and a stunning sunset stroll along the Dnieper River. Time your walk with the golden hour for a breathtaking backdrop. Stop by local street food vendors and grab some delicious bites, making sure to try the typical Kiev's chicken Kyiv. The evening endsโฆ
- Begin your journey at the Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti), taking time to admire the surrounding architecture and monuments. As you casually chat and get to know each other's interests, lead your date towards the Dnieper river. As the sun sets, the panorama view of the river bathed in orange and pink hues makes for an unforgettable sight.
- Just as you reach one of the food stop, treat your date to some local delicacies like varenyky or chicken Kyiv. As you continue the stroll, make a detour towards the Rusanivka Park, a perfect spot for walking and chatting.
- End the evening with a surprise: a local street performance near the Park. Whether it's a band, a group of dancers or a mime, the surprise element is sure to make the date even more memorable.
Preparation steps:
- Check out the timing of the sunset for the day of your date and plan accordingly so that you reach the river front at the perfect time. In addition, look up local street food vendors along the river and check their timings as well. Last but not least, get to know when and where the street performances will be happening.
- Wear comfortable footwear as a lot of walking is involved. Choosing an outfit with an eye toward matching the golden hues of the sunset, could just add an additional romantic note to the date.
- Last but not least, if convenient, scout the route beforehand to ensure a sense of familiarity and certainty on the date day.
Some tips:
- Keep the conversation light and flowing. Focus on getting to know each other's likes, dislikes, and opinions. If you discover a shared interest, delve into that topic. It's okay if there are moments of silence; let the beauty of the surroundings fill in the gaps.
- Surprises can go a long way in making a date memorable. Yet, do ensure that your surprise (the street performance) is appealing and comfortable for both of you. Not everyone enjoys the same kind of public entertainment.
- Finally, take pictures. Forget about the digital world for a moment and just capture memories for you two. Later these pictures will help keep this unforgettable date fresh in memory.
