THE WIZZ WAY
OneofWIZZ’s twobrandAmbassadors for
Ukraine,AllaMelnychuk, tellsuswhat’s so
fantasticabout her hometown, Kiev
“I’ve beenworking as a flight attendant for
Wizz Air for more than three years now. I love
my job, no two days are ever the same! New
people, new horizons and new challenges are
always arriving. But there is one thing that is
a constant: my family atWizz Air.Without a
doubt, we have the best team in theworld,
and being part of it is such an honour.
“I couldn’t believe it when I was chosen
to be an Ambassador, I was really touched
by everyone’s support. The role requires a
great deal of responsibility: representing the
company at different events and inspiring
others, both colleagues and passengers.
“I’ve lived in Kiev since I was a child, but
I’m always discovering something new about
this city. I say for first-time visitors, take a
short walk through Andrew’s Descent. Not
only does this area have a lot of famous
historical buildings, but it’s the heart of Old
Kiev. The golden domes andmajesty of St
Andrew’s Cathedral, StMichael’s monastery
(

will impress and fascinate everybody.
“But it’s not just the beautiful architecture
that is such a draw, the food here is
delicious! Chicken Kiev (
kotleta po kievsky
)
is probably themost famous dish, and I
think whenever you’re in Kiev, youmust try
it! Spotykach restaurant (
16 Vladimirskaya
St
) is one of the best traditional Ukrainian
restaurants. Here they make a fantastic
Kievsky cake, a cake named after our city.
“Kiev is also one of Europe’s greatest
cultural cities. The Pinchuk Art Centre
(
pinchukartcentre.org
) is one of the largest
contemporary art museums in Eastern
Europe, with exhibitions showcasingwork by
Ukrainian and international artists.
“Whenever I’m in themood for some
fresh air, I go to the outdoor museum of Folk
Architecture and Life of Ukraine, Pirogovo
(
pyrohiv.com.ua
). This open-air exhibition
tells the story of life inUkraine from the 16th
century to the present day.
“But Ukrainian winters can be cold!
If likeme you prefer to enjoy the snowy
scene from inside, try cozy restaurant-bar
Dyvan (
festrestdivan.com.ua
). This is the
perfect place to come with friends for daily
performances of popular bands, unusual
movie screenings and live jazz.”
