Detail plan of Kyiv and Baikove cemetery

To visit the grave of Lesja Ukrainka, you'll first need to get to Baykove cemetery. You can walk from the metro station "Palace Ukraine" or (slightly more) from the Moscow square. Either way, you need to get to the place from where Mykoly Grinchenko street (walking along the railroad) rises up Baykova street.

At the corner flower market is constantly working. There is always a good flowers and wreaths. Then a bit of climb Baykova street. On the left is the old cemetery, right – new. We have go to the gate of the old cemetery (second, counting from bottom) and then follow the pointers. In the first field directly on the path one can see the tomb of F.S.Krasicky – artist, author of Lesja Ukrainka's portrait. This is another sign of the place against which the third field are grave Lesja Ukrainka and her relatives.
