Why visit Lviv?

Lviv in western Ukraine has one of the finest historic centres in Eastern Europe, listed by UNESCO, where Renaissance, Baroque and Austro-Hungarian buildings reflect centuries as a crossroads of Polish, Ukrainian, Jewish and Armenian cultures. Rynok Square, with its colourful town houses and the City Hall tower, is the heart of the city.

Visit the Latin Cathedral, the Armenian Cathedral with its striking interior, the Boim Chapel, and the Lviv Opera House, one of the most beautiful in the region. Climb the High Castle hill for views over the domes and towers, and wander the Lychakiv Cemetery, a vast park of sculpted tombs. Lviv is famous for its coffee houses and chocolate makers, and for themed restaurants and cellar bars. Try varenyky, borscht and local craft beer. Before planning a trip, always check current official travel advice for Ukraine.
