Lviv is a city with a deep history and a vibrant atmosphere, where each stone keeps traces of medieval events and cultural changes. Founded with the participation of Danil Galitsky and developed for centuries as an important center of Galicia, Lviv today attracts with its narrow streets, ancient squares and cozy coffee life. The city combines academic energy, a bohemian creative atmosphere and a sense of a lively historical scene.
Man-made sights of Lviv amaze with the variety of architectural styles and the importance of historical monuments. On the Market Square rises the Lviv Town Hall, and around there are ancient houses and shopping rows that made the city famous. Among the temples, the Dominican Cathedral, the Latin Cathedral, the Cathedral of St. Jura and the Armenian Cathedral of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos are especially distinguished, each with its own unique history and architecture. I. Franco University and Lviv National University coexist with the majestic buildings of the medical university, and monuments such as the monument to Danil Galitsky remind of the great pages of local history. Within the city and in the region there are preserved castles and monasteries - Olessky, Zolochevsky, Podgorets, Zholkovo Castle, Bernardinsky and Krekhov monasteries - which complement the picture of cultural heritage.
The natural attractions around Lviv are no less impressive: the hilly High Castle serves as an excellent observation deck to the historical center, and green parks and squares offer calm walking and rest. The surroundings of the city, where ancient castles and monasteries are located, are surrounded by forests, hills and picturesque landscapes of western Ukraine, which makes walking along the routes especially picturesque.
