Celebrate Valentine's Day in Kiev with fun!

It is necessary to prepare for the holidays in advance. 
This is especially true on February 14, the day when 
all the cafe tables are booked, tickets to concerts and movies 
are bought and gift ideas converge to banal box 
of Raffaello and gel shower.

My blog offers you a selection of interesting events, fairs with cool and useful pieces, concerts, festivals and film screenings for the best Valentine's Day.

Think of something to surprise your love, so you do not have to blush and celebrate in the food court area of one of the shopping centers ;-)
