Gita in bici di un giorno da Kyiv a Vyshhorod

Kyiv to Vyshhorod Cycling Route

Looking for a fun day on two wheels just north of Kyiv? This roughly 33 km ride will take you from the heart of Ukraine’s vibrant capital up to the historic town of Vyshhorod on the banks of the Dnipro River. Starting in central Kyiv, you’ll pedal through a mix of quiet roads (great for a relaxed pace), less-trafficked access roads, and even some cycleways—perfect for soaking up the changing scenery as you leave the city buzz behind.

The route is mostly paved and smooth with a few short stretches on paving stones and ground, so a road or hybrid bike should work fine. There’s a gentle climb at first (the route’s highest point is only about 184 meters), but you’ll enjoy a long, easy descent as you approach Vyshhorod.

Once you arrive, take time to explore Vyshhorod’s rich history—it was once a residence of Kyiv’s medieval princes and now offers lovely river views and the interesting Vyshhorod Historical and Cultural Reserve. Bring snacks, refill your water in town, and enjoy a rewarding escape from Kyiv’s city life!
