History
Since ancient times the Podil neighborhood was an important trade center, especially by water routes.
Around the 19th century, steamboats started to navigate along the Dnieper, and a row of quays were built along the Right Bank of the river.
Passenger infrastructure
Kiev River port boasts more than 20 riverboat stairway-equipped moorings on the several kilometer-long embankment, all of which are reserved for passenger and leisure vessels. From April through October, there is a daily leisure navigation in the port, facilitated by various private operators.
Passenger terminal of the port
In 1953–1961 a new passenger terminal was built on the Poshtova Square by the architects V. Gopkalo, V. Ladny, and others. The building has a mast-like tower which resembled a steamboat tower.
