Create an itinerary including The Motherland Monument

Sword and shield raised triumphantly in the air, The Motherland Monument commemorates the Soviet Union's defense of the homeland against Nazi Germany's invasion during World War II. You can see the towering statue by visiting Kiev's World War II museum; you'll find it located nearby in an outdoor exhibition area. The titanium statue of a woman, standing 62 m (203 ft) high, represents the Soviet Union and the horrific human suffering it endured in the war against Hitler's Germany. You can hop aboard an elevator at the base and travel to a viewing platform part way up the statue for a sweeping view of Kiev.

I'm a sucker for a ridiculously large statue. And this did not disappoint. She has a real sense of power and grace as she towers over the city. This needs to be at the top of your to-do list while in.... more

Highly recommended to visit if you are in Kyiv. Was impressed by modern installation of war, Holocaust and current eastern war. And it costs only 50 uah for adults. Unfortunately, city view place was closed, but anyway spending time there was very good.

One of the best places i visited in Kiev. It is absolutely amazing. You should definitely visit this place if you are anywhere nearby. There are also museums and WW2 army vehicles on display.

Nice tourist location, it’s explain part of Ukraine history, there is some guns and military vehicles from word war . Ukraine is very beautiful country and the people are very kind, in my opinion the government needs to focus more how to attract the tourist people. It can be one of the best tourist countries over the world.

Wonderful World war museum and fantastic monument of Motherland which is 91 Mtr height just half the height of Sardar Vallabh bhai statue in Gujarat India. This is best place in Kyiv every one must visit and enjoy

The flow of the museum is a bit awkward. It zig zags back and forth instead of flowing naturally. My favorite part was the exhibit about the current conflict in eastern Ukraine.
