Свято-Михайлівський Видубицький монастир - один із перших київських монастирів, заснований князем Всеволодом Ярославичем в урочищі Видубичі.
За легендою, на цьому місці виплив ("видибав") на берег дерев'яний ідол верховного язичницького бога Перуна, скинутого князем Володимиром у Дніпро з капища на Старокиївській гірці. І тут же був утоплений прихильниками християнства.
Спочатку головною церквою Видубицького монастиря був храм покровителя Києва архістратига Михаїла. В XVIII сторіччі був побудований новий Георгіївський собор, а також трапезна та дзвіниця.
Чудовий вид на куполи Видубицького монастиря на тлі Дніпра відкривається із Центрального ботанічного саду.
