In 2013, an unusual outlet village appeared near Kyiv. Its main feature are streets, canals, bridges and houses built in the style of north European cities, mainly in the Dutch style. We visited it not for shopping, but for walking in a beautiful place.
In Europe the concept of suburban outlet village was first implemented in the UK in the 70s. Nowadays the most famous outlet villages are located in Italy. And in Ukraine this is a pilot project.
