As written in other reviews, this is a great place for a quiet spiritual experience. Unlike I read in many reviews, the monastery is easily reached from the Druzhby Narodiy metro station. No need to walk along the high way, the botanical garden is 10 minutes from the metro station and leads you right into the monastery. There is a 50 hryvnia entrance fee for the botanical garden, which is worth, it's really nice and has a small church itself that you can visit before arriving at the monastery.
