National Palace of Arts “Ukraine” is a landmark concert hall located next to the metro station of the same name. For more than half a century, it has hosted some of Kyiv’s most memorable shows and performances. Interestingly, the building was originally designed to resemble a cinema so that Soviet authorities would not block its construction.
Today, Palace Ukraine remains a central venue in the city’s cultural life. It features two halls: a large one with more than 3,500 seats and a smaller chamber hall for intimate concerts and events. The venue is equipped with modern lighting, sound and multimedia systems, and the stage can accommodate up to 1,500 performers.
Many renowned artists have appeared here, including Lana Del Rey, Luciano Pavarotti, Sting, Scorpions and numerous Ukrainian performers. In addition to concerts, the venue hosts theatre productions, stand-up shows, dance performances and other entertainment events.
Before the show or during intermission, visitors can stop by the buffet for coffee or light snacks. The latest programme and tickets are available on the official Palace Ukraine website.
