Cycling day trip from Prolisky to Kyiv

This ride takes you from the village of Prolisky—just on the edge of Kyiv’s bustling reach—right into the heart of Ukraine’s vibrant capital. With just over 45 kilometers to cover, you’ll mostly benefit from smooth asphalt surfaces, making it a great pick for a road bike. The route is a pleasant mix: about a third follows quiet roads with little traffic, and you’ll also roll along tracks and dedicated cycleways, giving your ride a relaxed, scenic feel as you approach the city.

You’ll gain nearly 182 meters in elevation along the way (with a touch of descent too), but nothing too extreme. Prolisky itself is a peaceful, green suburb known as a little getaway from Kyiv’s business, while once you arrive in Kyiv, you’re greeted by the golden domes and lively streets of one of Eastern Europe’s oldest cities. Just keep in mind that a portion of surface info is “missing,” so keep your eyes peeled for unexpected patches. All in all, it’s a great mix of country calm and urban energy—perfect for a day ride with a rewarding finish!
