Post

The Central Post Office is a tourist attraction of its own, so make sure to visit it and possibly send a postcard or two to family and friends back home. Drop your mail off directly at the post office or use one of the yellow or blue post boxes scattered around the city. However, make sure it says "outside Kyiv" if you are sending international mail. Delivery might take a while, so turn to a private delivery service in case you are in a rush.
