This is an amazing tramway route! You hop on at the center of Podol district right beside Kontraktova Square Metro station and tram 12 takes you to a small satellite village near Kyiv called Puscha Voditsa. This is more like a resort so there is a park and a lake and plenty of small hotels and motels around.
The most interesting thing about it is that a part of the tram's route goes through a real forest! And if feels weird and cool that several minutes ago you were at a city center and now you're going through the woods on a public transport just like in some fairy tale.
There also is a party train on the route. Designed like a cafe inside with tables and a small kitchen at the back of vehicle. It can fit around 30 people I guess. You can book it and go for a picnic in the park and back, starting your celebration on the way! Lots of fun!
Warning: no toilet inside ;).
