Pechersk Lavra, Kiev [Ukraine]

Kiev’s Pechersk Lavra: Translating to Monastery of the Caves, this beautiful golden domed UNESCO World Heritage Site was built atop monastic caves that date back more than nine centuries. Next door you will find the impressive Great Lavra Belltower and St. Sophia Cathedral. These all just add to the reasons why Ukraine should be on everyone’s travel list.
