The center of Lviv is Rynok Square – the main square with the town hall in the middle. This is probably the most stunning place in Lviv, with 44 townhouses in different styles, from the renaissance to modernism. In the four corners, you can find fountains from the beginning of the 19th century with four Greek mythological figures: Neptune, Diana, A...
If you are fit enough you should climb to the town hall’s tower for the best view of the Lviv old town. There are 408 stairs leading to the tower, they are often creaky and can make your heart beat faster but it’s worth all the effort.

You will also find here som...

The first Armenian church was built here at the end of the 14th century but the current building comes ...

Lviv is one of the best cities I know when it comes to themed restaurants.

The local beer – Lvivske – has been produced since 1715 and you can find it all over the city but the brewing tradition in the city is even longer.
