Right VS Left riverside: where apartments are more often booked by the day this week

The right riverside is traditionally considered the more tourist-friendly and business-oriented part of the city. Many well-known landmarks, historical locations, and business centers are located here.

The most frequently booked districts include:

• Shevchenkivskyi District
• Pecherskyi District
• Holosiivskyi District
• Solomianskyi District

Guests often choose these areas because of their convenient infrastructure, numerous restaurants and cafés, parks, and popular attractions.

For many travelers, it is also important that accommodation is located close to the city center or a metro station, which makes getting around much easier.

In contrast, Kyiv’s left riverside is currently being booked much less frequently. On some days the number of reservations there is noticeably lower.

However, this does not mean that the left riverside is not attractive for visitors. Apartments there are most often booked:

• during exhibitions at the International Exhibition Centre (IEC)
• for short business trips
• when proximity to a specific location is important

During large events, the situation can change quickly, and demand for apartments on the left bank may increase significantly.

For travelers planning a trip to Kyiv, this situation can even be advantageous. If staying directly in the city center is not essential, it may be easier to find available apartments on the left bank, often in a quieter environment.

At the same time, the right riverside remains the most popular option for tourist visits and short weekend trips.

Demand on the right riverside will likely remain higher in the near future.

However, the short-term rental market can change quickly depending on:

• city events
• exhibitions and conferences
• business travel
• seasonal factors

As a result, apartment availability may change even within a few days.

In Kyiv, demand for accommodation can change quickly, so it is always best to check current availability before booking.

In different districts of the city — Shevchenkivskyi, Pecherskyi, Holosiivskyi, Solomianskyi, and Dniprovskyi — apartments and mini-hotels of various types are available, making it possible to find an option that fits different budgets and travel styles.
