Lviv: the cradle of Ukraine’s culture

The city has few parking lots, so keep that in mind if you plan to rent a car.

Places worth visiting

Leopolis (as Lviv is sometimes nicknamed) has more than 100 functioning cathedrals and churches built mostly in the Baroque and Rococo styles, and its historic center, including the Rynok Square, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pay attention to the Jesuit Church, the Church of Sts. Olha and Elizabeth, the Bernardine Cathedral, the City Hall, and the railway administration building. To complement your acquaintance with the city, taste the country’s best chocolate and fragrant coffee.
