Still part of Pechersk Lavra, this sensational monument deserves special attention as it’s one of Kiev’s emblems. The Great Lavra Bell Tower is an unmissable fixture on the city’s skyline and dwarfs the other monuments at Pechersk Lavra, climbing to just below 100 metres. At the time of its construction (1731-1745) it was the tallest free-standing bell tower in the world, and is composed of four tiers, each narrower than the last, culminating with a gilded dome. The style is Ukrainian Baroque, and while studying the three upper tiers architecture geeks will notice that the columns are Doric on the 2nd tier, Ionic on the 3rd and then Corinthian on the fourth. For a small fee you can go up for an all-encompassing view of Kiev, while the mighty bell tolls every quarter of the hour.

Don’t sleep on an affordable and interesting tower. I know many who pass this on because they’d rather go up the other observation decks. Sure, the Lavra might not be that tall, but the views are what make it fantastic. You can see the fantastic river, the rest of the monastery, the Great Patriotic Statue, and so forth. Plus, all tickets allow entrance to every building in the monastery.

Amazing for sure. It’s worth the effort climbing up through fascinating wooden steps all the way to top. It has two levels. Topmost is where u see the bells. for best panorama shot can be had here. Must visit.

Need some efforts to climb up also down, quiet windy up there, but definitely worth it!
