Did You Know?
Arsenalna station sits about 105.5 metres below ground, the deepest metro station anywhere. The escalator ride takes roughly five minutes. The depth is a consequence of Kyiv's hilly right bank, not of any civil defence intention, though it has served that way since.
The clock: Kyiv keeps UTC+2. Saint Sophia's Cathedral has stood here since the 11th century, older than almost any building in the city around it.
