Welcome to a city of unique old-world charm; the
scene of an accident where East broadsided West,
but left only a dent. With its remarkably preserved
Renaissance architecture, gently bending streets and
hidden ancient niches, Lviv is a Ukrainian city with a
European soul.
Known as the centre of Ukrainian art and culture,
the city boasts many of the countrys brightest and
best museums, art galleries and theatres. It is also
Ukraines Mecca - there are magnificent and inspiring
churches and cathedrals on just about every corner.
Although Lvivians have the reputation as churchgoers, they havent forgotten how to party. Pubs,
clubs, restaurants and coffee houses are plentiful,
and its usually a local whos stoking the celebration
into the early morning hours.
Lviv has had an enthralling and violent history.
Founded by King Danylo of Galicia in honour of his
son Lev in 1256, the city has had many rulers including Poland, Sweden, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire,
Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The dubious
HitlerStalin Pact of 1939 granted control of Lviv to
the Soviet Union. This occupation spurred numerous
resistance movements in the 1940s and 50s including the much celebrated and controversial Ukrainian
Insurgent Army. With the fall of the Soviet Union in
1991, freedom was finally seized. Lviv continues to
be a shining example of independence, and Ukraine
owes much of its contemporary identity to the stream
of patriotism which emanates from this radical
western gem.
On April 17, 2007, Ukraine and Poland were chosen to
co-host the Euro 2012 football competition. As one of
Ukraines host cities, Lviv anxiously awaits the fanatical joyous surge expected to fill the city. However,
due to bureaucratic hurdles planners have made only
trivial progress on the necessary new stadium, road
reconstruction and airport expansion. It may take a
miracle to save the citys chances to host. In Your
Pocket will continue to monitor the situation.
We are proud to offer this mini-guide designed to
highlight the very best Lviv has to offer.

By bus
All international buses arrive at Stryiskyi Avtovokzal; however,
some buses, including routes from Warsaw and Krakow, may
make a first stop in centre not far from Shevchenka prosp.
Ask your driver to be sure. At the bus station, ticket offices
and schedules are located on the ground floor. Upstairs youll
find a waiting hall, a small hotel and a cafeteria. To find the
left-luggage office, head downstairs from the central hall.
Getting to town Stryiskyi Avtovokzal is located relatively far
from the city centre. Taxis are your obvious quickest option;
depending on your haggling skills, fares are available for as
little as 40Hr. For an unbelievable value, take trolleybus No.
5 to Shota Rustaveli Street (I-4) for the meagre fare of 1Hr.
Though it may be cramped, marshrutkas No. 7, 37, 57 and 71
shuttle passengers to centre for 1.50Hr. Bus No. 18 connects
Stryiskyi Avtovokzal with Lviv Holovnyi Train Station.

Editors note
The editorial content of In Your Pocket
guides is independent from paid-for
advertising. Sponsored listings are
clearly marked as such. We welcome all
readers comments and suggestions.
We have made every effort to ensure
the accuracy of the information at the
time of going to press and assume no
responsibility for changes and errors.
When entering the country by car, foreigners are required to

sign a document at the border swearing that they will bring the
car out of the country before a certain date. Foreign cars are
allowed on Ukrainian soil for a maximum of two months. This
document should be carried along with your drivers license
and your cars registration papers at all times. Automobile
insurance is obligatory in Ukraine. It may be possible to buy
green card insurance valid for Ukraine in your home country to
avoid problems - if not you must purchase it from the Ukrainian company at the border. The latter might cost less than
the former, however if you dont speak Ukrainian or Russian it
is easy to get deceived by border officials and buy something
which is totally useless. The minimum term of insurance is two
weeks, with prices depending on the size of the engine.
By plane
When travellers refer to the Lviv International Airport its usually in the context of either a twisted joke or terrifying tale. We
found a sleepy port lacking in up-to-snuff conveniences, but
staffed by friendly Lvivians. The signature massive potholes
that once dotted the runway have been repaired, and as the
city gears up to host Euro 2012 the airport will surely transform into something more familiar and welcoming.
Laid out in sectors 1-4, getting around the airport is quite
easy. Sectors 1 and 2 are located in the main terminal and
handle international arrivals and departures. Youll also find
the main tourist information booth, an information desk,
customs, a VIP hall, telephones, lost and found, car rental
booths, first aid, 24 hour police services, waiting rooms, news
stands and a bank. The information booth was closed on
our visit, but the information desk located through the door
beneath the flight departure schedule was open and staffed
by a knowledgeable and friendly English speaking local. Most
domestic flights arrive at sectors 3 and 4 located in the
smaller terminal. As you exit the bus and enter the terminal,
wait for the luggage cart to pull up alongside and retrieve your
bags. If you happen to miss out on the cart, proceed to the
baggage room inside located adjacent the Sixt car rental. A
caf and airline ticketing and information booths can also
be found in this terminal.
The toilet is definitely the airports most elusive feature (if
we had room in this guide wed draw you a map). Its actually located across the parking lot from the main terminal.
Look for the little white brick building with a red roof next to
the Satellite Caf. The attendant will ask if you need paper,
just nod your head yes and save it for later if you dont need
it right away.
Getting to town Follow the heard of fellow travellers through
the terminal corridors to the waiting gauntlet of cabbies.
Lviv Train Station

The 70 Hr fare to centre is relatively cheap for Ukraine, but
the real bargain is by trolleybus 9 (1 Hr) or marshrutka 95
(1.5 Hr). Its about 20 minutes by taxi and 40 by trolleybus/
marshrutka on one of Ukraines bumpiest roads.
By train
With platforms wrapped in lofty steel awnings, run down
trains and suspicious glances, arriving to Lvivs central
rail station can be like stepping into a Cold War era spy
movie. Once the nostalgia has worn off, exit the platforms
by proceeding down the stairs then follow the exit signs to
the stations halls.
A currency exchange ( ), ticketing booths ()
and schedules are located in the main hall. There is also a
floor plan displayed of available services if you happen to
get disoriented. Purchase international tickets from booth
No. 2. (Quiet please, the street dogs huddled in the corner
are trying to sleep.)
A restaurant (open 11:00-23:00), Express Bank with Western
Union, telephones and resting hall () No. 1 are located in
the left wing. Admission to hall No. 1 is 3Hr per hour and the
Internet can be accessed for 6Hr. A caf and ATM are also
on site. Additional ATMs, a kiosk selling snacks and beverages and a bar are located in the corridor connecting the
left wing to the main hall.
The bulk of stations services are located in the right wing.
Entering from the main hall youll find a barber shop, an
agency offering excursion services and resting hall No. 2.
This hall has two cafs, newspaper stands and a pharmacy.
Entrance is free of charge.
Proceed through the corridor past hall No. 2 for a currency
exchange and a news stand that sells maps of Lviv. There
are three left luggage ( ) areas/lockers
available in the right wing. No. 1 is the largest and is the only
post that handles bags of all sizes. Depending on the size of
your bag, expect to pay from 5-20Hr per day. Police services
are also located in the right wing.
Toilets are scattered throughout the building. The easiest to
find are located in the corridors leading to the platforms.
Getting to town Getting from the station to centre is relatively easy. Taxis are abundant near the main exit. A gauntlet
of taxi drivers await at the exit of the main hall. A trip to centre
should cost around 30Hr and Lvivs cabbies are much friendlier and less scheming than those in other major Ukrainian
cities. The parking lot beyond the cabbies is bustling with
busses and mini-busses, most of which connect to outlaying
cities, towns and villages. Your best public transport option
is tram No. 1, which heads directly to centre. The same tram
with a different name, No. 9, takes passengers in the opposite direction from centre to the train station.

Lviv In Your Pocket
Throughout its history, Lviv has had several names. The

city was known as Lww when the Poles ruled, the AustroHungarian Empire called it Lemberg and Jewish residents
referred to it as Lemberik. Currently, many languages have
their own spelling and pronunciation. This is the case with
Lviv (Ukrainian) and Lvov (Russian). As the city immerged to
become the centre of Ukrainian language and culture in the
1990s, the Ukrainian version became increasingly common
and useful, i.e. using Lviv while searching the Internet will
definitely result in more hits.
All customs declarations, filled out upon arrival to Ukraine,

must be kept throughout the period of your stay, and must
be handed over upon departure. This declaration can not
be renewed if lost.
Disabled travellers
Lviv is not what you would call a disabled-friendly city. High
curb drops and steep steps are the rule and public transport
system lacks even a hint of accessibility. The wheelchair
symbol used in this guide means that the establishment in
question specifically caters to disabled guests.
Electricity
Alcohol
Ukrainian beer (pyvo) is quite tasty and extremely cheap to
boot. Tipsiness may set in early, though, as its alcohol content is higher than Western brands. Those preferring foreign
brands can find their favourites at finer shops and establishments. Ukraine also produces a wide selection of vodka,
which flows freely at many parties and gatherings. Beware if
offered homemade vodka (samohon). While good samohon
can be better than some bootleg labels in shops, the overall
odds are against you and your stomach. Whether its Ukrainian vodka or moonshine, be ready to offer a toast at some
point. A modest cheers (budmo) will do for a foreigner.
Borders
Ukraine is bordered by Belarus, Hungary, Moldova, Poland,
Romania, Russia and Slovakia. Buses stop for about an hour
at borders; westbound trains for more than two, because
Ukrainian wheels dont fit European tracks and thus have to
be switched! You should expect close inspection of your documents and belongings at border crossings. EU and American
travellers need a visa to enter Belarus, Moldova and Russia and
cant be obtained at the border, so make sure you contact their
embassies in Odesa (see Directory/Foreign representatives).
Customs
If you are 18 years of age or over you can import, free of
customs duties and taxes, one litre of hard alcohol, two
litres of wine, 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 250 grams of
tobacco. Personal belongings are not subject to customs
duties or taxes, though a customs officer has the right to ask
you to make a written declaration in relation to them. (Avoid
bringing unessential, valuable, personal items! A colleague
of ours was told by a customs officer to declare her wedding
band. She declared the value of the ring, and - to make a long
story short - she ended up paying a $200 bribe in order to
avoid an outrageous duty.)
A person can bring in food products free of customs duties
and taxes if their total value does not exceed 50. However,
food products should not total more than two kilograms,
and there should not be more than one package of the
same product.
Goods with a total value of less than 200 may be brought in
free of customs duties and taxes. If the value of your goods
is greater than 200, but less than 1000 they will need to
be declared on a customs personal declaration form. If the
value of the goods is greater than 1000, the goods will be
subject to clearance in accordance with the import declaration requirements for imported cargo.
Cultural goods may be brought in if they are not subject to any
international alert and you have documents which prove your
right of ownership. To take such goods out of Ukraine you will
need to obtain relevant authorisation documents from the
State Service for Control Over the Passage of Cultural Values
Across the National Frontier of Ukraine (Smolskoho 10,
tel. 0 322 75 80 81/72 79 91.)
Ukraine supplies its residents and visitors alike with electrical current of 220 volts AC, 50Hz. All sockets require two
round pins, but not always of the same size. Many thinner
Russian sockets are being replaced by their European
cousins. Those with Russian sockets can buy a cheap
adapter for their European appliances. Adapters for more
foreign electrical societies are not easy to find in Lviv, so
bring your own.
Floors
Ukrainians consider the floor on the ground to be the first
floor and so one.
Money
The national currency is the hryvnia (Hr), which replaced
the transitional karbovanets on September 2, 1996. Dont
be confused if your amount is given in roubles. You havent
been transported to Russia or taken back in time to the
USSR - some people just have trouble letting go of the past!
Paper bills carry denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100,
200 and 500 hryvnias. Another word to the wise: two versions exist of the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 hryvnia
bills, and both are accepted everywhere. There are 100
kopecks in a hryvnia, with 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 kopeck and
1Hr coins. Youll have no problem finding currency exchange
points, but rates are better from central street kiosks. If its
travellers checks you need to cash, look for a big respectable-looking bank. You can find a number of ATMs around
Lviv and many hotels and restaurants now take Visa and
MasterCard - American Express is not very popular. There
have been scattered reports of credit card fraud in upscale
restaurants, though, so you may want to think twice before
charging it.
Roads
Carry your license and registration at all times to fully enjoy the
Ukrainian driving experience. The official speed limits are 60
km/h in cities, 90 on secondary roads and 130 on highways.
A zero tolerance drink driving policy applies in Ukraine.
Safety
They say that Ukrainians can spot a foreigner from a kilometre away. This fact alone will not automatically make you
the target of crime. Lviv is, in fact, a rather safe place. As in
most cities, flashing large amounts of cash can cause trouble.
Wallets are known to disappear in public transport crowds,
so guard your pockets at all times. Being very drunk and/or
loud on the street is always a good way to attract unwanted
attention, especially from the police. By the way, its a good
idea for foreigners to carry at least a copy of their passport
and visa with them at all times.
Language
The countrys official language is Ukrainian. Since independence in 1991, it has become much more popular and
widespread. Still, Russian is heavily used in Crimea and
Eastern Ukraine, and only in western regions is Ukrainian
truly predominant.
The following is a list of some of the most common words
and phrases a person is likely to need.

Political framework
To understand Ukrainian politics, imagine a carnival
complete with clowns, freaks and a main attraction where
magicians make billions of hryvnia disappear from taxpayers pockets. That said, lets get down to the nitty-gritty.
Ukraine is a republic consisting of 24 provinces (oblast)
and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Also, the cities
of Kyiv and Sevastopol have special status. The Central
government consists of executive, legislative and judicial
branches.
Executive branch
The president is elected by popular vote for a five-year

term and is eligible for a second term. Viktor Yuschenko,
co-leader of the 2004 Orange Revolution, is the current
president. The president is responsible for issuing decrees
and orders, and preventing any actions of the legislative,
executive and judicial branches of power that directly or
indirectly infringe [upon his interpretation of] the fundamental Law of Ukraine. In other words, the president ensures
that nothing is ever accomplished - a duty Yuschenko has
excelled at throughout his presidency.
A new circus is coming! Presidential elections are scheduled for January 17, 2010. As it stands, the main candidates
will be Viktor Yanukovych, Yuliya Tymoshenko, incumbent
Viktor Yuschenko, Volodymyr Lytvyn and dark horse candidate Arseniy Yatseniuk (hes the nerdy-looking guy on the
striped billboard ads).
Legislative branch
The unicameral supreme council, known as Verkhovna

Rada, consists of 450 deputies and is presided over by a
speaker. Elections were last held in 2007, and five parties
passed the required vote threshold of 3%. The current make
up of this bitterly feuding, fund sucking, time wasting branch
is as follows: The Party of Regions (175 seats), led by Viktor
Yanukovych, is extremely popular in Ukraines industrial,
Russian-speaking, eastern oblasts; Yuliya Tymoshenko
Bloc (156 seats) is led by the current Prime Minister, whose
popular slogan is Theyre betraying/talking/ blocking. Shes
working.; Our Ukraine/Peoples Self Defence (72 seats), led
by President Viktor Yuschenko, has been losing support
steadily since 2004, but maintains a base among voters
in the west; the Communist Party of Ukraine (27 seats)
continues to be popular with pensioners and disillusioned
citizens; Lytvyn bloc (20 seats) is led by current speaker
Volodymyr Lytvyn, a man with gorgeous silver hair.
Judicial branch
The legal system, based on civil law with judicial review of

legislative acts, is topped by the Supreme Court and the
Constitutional Court. We thought of adding a joke here,
but realized that everything that happens in these halls of
justice is far too disturbing to laugh at.

Smoking
Youre never too far away from a lit cigarette in Ukraine, and
in some bars and clubs the term second-hand smoke just
doesnt seem to matter. Smokers enjoy a ridiculously cheap
selection of cigarettes hawked by one of the many babushkas and corner kiosks that are located throughout the city.
Just recently Ukraine outlawed smoking in most public places
and the workplace, except in specially designated areas. It is
the responsibility of each company to provide a designated
area for all smoking patrons or personnel. These special
places can not exceed 50% of the total allotted area of the
business. Since this law is relatively new in Ukraine, not every
business has begun to enforce it.
Toilets
Public restrooms are a sore, dirty and not very aromatic
subject in Lviv. Make it a rule to go before you leave the
hotel and after each caf/restaurant you visit and you
should be fine; pay toilets are in short supply in centre. If
you think you can just pop in to McDonalds and take care
of business, think again. You must first place an order then
open the bathroom door by punching in the code located
on the receipt. Good luck.
or = ladies
or or = gentlemen
Tipping
Lviv tipping culture is developing slowly. While no general rule
exists yet, most restaurant-goers leave around 10% of their
bill. But your waitstaff will expect more from you as a foreigner!
Some places include a service charge of five to 10 per cent,
so read the fine print or ask.
Visas
Citizens of the EU, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Andorra,
Vatican, Iceland, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Mongolia, the
U.S., Canada, Japan and the countries of the Commonwealth
of Independent States (CIS) - except Turkmenistan - can
enter Ukraine visa-free and stay up to 90 days. Everyone
else needs a visa, which must be obtained from a Ukrainian
embassy or consulate abroad before travelling. Visas can
be processed in as little as one day, with prices varying
depending on the type and length of visa requested. Many
Ukrainian embassies only handle visa cases on certain days
of the week, so call ahead.
Travel to Russia is not so simple. All foreign visitors, with the
exception of citizens from selected countries of the CIS, must
obtain a visa. Upon arrival, you will need to fill in an immigration
card. If you are staying more that 72 hours, you will need to
register with the local police (hotels are usually willing to aid
in this process). Transit visas are also required. For additional
information, call (+380 322) 75 24 63.
Travel to Belarus is also a bit tricky. Citizens of the EU,
Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Croatia can
apply for 30-day single and multiple entry business and
private visas without an invitation. The rest of us need an
invitation, or we can book through a travel agency authorized to issue state travel vouchers. All visitors are required
to purchase national medical insurance, and must register
their passports with local police within three days of their
arrival (hotels are usually willing to aid in this process).
Transit visas are also required. For more information, call
(+380 322) 37 52 03.
Moldova greatly relaxed its visa laws in 2007. Citizens of the

EU, Norway, Switzerland, Japan, Israel, Canada and the U.S.

consular section is responsible for issuing visas and is located
apart from the embassy - save yourself time and confusion
by calling before you go.
Working in Ukraine
For most of the past decade, many foreigners took advantage
of Ukraines relaxed regulations and didnt bother getting
work permits or even visas. Times have definitely changed,
and stricter requirements and regulations have forced many
of us to play by the rules. Many companies continue to pay
in cash under the table, but will offer assistance obtaining
extended visas. If youre planning to work in Ukraine for
a long or indefinite period, it may be beneficial to obtain
either permanent or temporary residency. For permanent
residency you must be sponsored by a relative with Ukrainian
citizenship or prove Ukrainian heritage - this can be done by
providing the Office of Passport Registration and Immigration
(VVIR) with the birth certificate of a parent or grandparent
born in Ukraine and documents proving relation, i.e. your
birth certificate, parents birth certificate, marriage licence
showing change of name, etc. Though often complicated
and time consuming, local and multinational companies
can procure temporary residency for foreign personnel. No
matter what category you fall into, plan on big hassles and
a lot of time spent at VVIR, the Housing Bureau (ZhEK) and
the police station.

Getting involved
A year or so ago In Your Pocket took the
interactive plunge and began allowing readers
to post comments under our own reviews. The
response has been incredible, nowhere more so
than in Riga, where the famous rip-off joint Lord
Pub has garnered so many comments from angry
readers that at one stage earlier this year our
system couldnt cope: we had to reconfigure it to
accommodate all the feedback. All of our venues
- and most of our features - are now open forums
ready for your comments. If you have something
to say on Warsaws raunchiest nightlife venues,
say it at inyourpocket.com. If you want to flaunt
your Cornish nationalist credentials, do it at inyourpocket.com. Our local editors are encouraged to
reply to comments and make a point of taking on
board what our readers are telling us. While we vet
all comments before publication, if you provide a
valid email address we usually approve the vast
majority, no matter how vitriolic or controversial.
So if youve been ripped off, or simply enjoyed
terrific service, let everyone know. If you want to
contact us direct, you can do so at readersmail@
inyourpocket.com.

The boom is on for Lvivs hotel industry! Throughout its

history, the citys stunning architecture, rich history and
exciting dining and entertainment options have drawn
travellers in hordes. However, there will soon be a new
reason to visit. In 2007, Lviv was chosen as a venue
for the Euro 2012 football competition, and the city
must gear-up quickly if it hopes to meet demand. New
establishments will serve to compliment existing hotels
and hostels, which offer a full range of comfort, style
and service. Tired of hotels? A number of agencies offer
renovated flats that can be rented on a nightly basis,
and are considerably cheaper than many hotel rooms.
The advantages of privacy, a kitchen and more space in
general are definite plusses.

ancient Lvivian pagans associated with healing and survival. The
stairs leading to the restaurant have been described as fifteen
stairs to the 15th Century. You are not entering a basement, this
is actually a renovated section of an ancient catacomb and the
rocks that line the base of the arched walls were set in the 15th

The dining area has a laid back atmosphere with inspiring

Doms, an aristocratic young Swiss man, brought his brewing
talent to Lvivske Brewery in the 1850s. Every morning a young
Lvivian maiden named Zosia would bring Robert a five litre
tankard of the previous days brew, which he would guzzle (a
crude but effective means of quality control). With the help of
his extremely thick beer-goggles, Robert soon fell in love and
married Zosia. The pub, located in one of Lvivske Brewerys
cellars (a 15 minute walk from centre) is a fitting tribute to
Robs contribution to Lvivs beer industry and to his and Zosias
touching romantic tale. The energy here is unmatched in Lviv
and live music echoes through the cellars halls nightly. With
hearty Ukrainian meals served for up to six, the fantastic menu
encourages a communal dining experience. Who knows, guzzle
enough fresh brew and you too might hook-up with your own

When the uniformed guard opens the peep-hole to this theme
caf/restaurant and says Slava Ukraini (Glory to Ukraine),
thats your cue to respond Geroyam slava (Glory to its heroes). This was the greeting used by soldiers of the Ukrainian
Insurgent Army (UPA) as they waged guerrilla war against the
Nazis, Poles and Soviet Union from 1943-49. Its also your
ticket past the guard. Once inside, youll find a fascinating and
jovial bunker complete with grenades, rifles and other military
antiques. Just as the UPA was immensely popular in Lviv, so is
this eatery dedicated to the memory of their sacrifice. Tables

to party at their table. Weve learned from repeated experience that its impossible for a westerner to keep pace with
locals when it comes to shooting horilka (vodka). Slow

beer cocktails: beer and Fanta is a Ukrainian classic, but the
Devils Brew (beer, cognac, salt, pepper and lemon) and the
Island Paradise (beer, vodka, Malibu, gin and pineapple juice)

talk after downing one of these unique concoctions, order

of historical titbits: news clippings from local Ukrainian and
Polish papers. The most intriguing is an article written by

Cult is a tribute Lvivs icons past and present. A wall of

fame wraps completely round the main hall. Though you

ambiance is unforgettable. Prices on Ukrainian and European fare are reasonable; however, many items are priced

of the dish in order to avoid confusion. Cult is perhaps
best known for the live music (mostly jazz and blues) that
is staged nightly from 21:00. Q Open 12:00 - 02:00.

What to see
Lvivs old town is so densely packed with mesmerizing,
inspiring and unique attractions that travellers often become paralyzed with fascination and never leave. Known
as the centre of Ukrainian art and culture, the city boasts
many of the countrys brightest and best museums, art
galleries and theatres. The uncommonly preserved Renaissance architecture, gently bending streets and hidden
ancient niches are sure to propel your mind through a
vivid collage of centuries gone by.
Essential Lviv
Arsenal D-4, Pidvalna 5,
tel. 0 322 72 70 60. The

city arsenal and its adjoining
defensive walls are visible
from Arsenal vul. Construction on the original two-storied stone building began in
the 14th Century, but was
not completed until 1555.
After nearly two centuries of
toil this original structure was
completely destroyed by fire
after only 16 years of operation, and the contemporary building
was constructed in its place from 1574-75. When the Swedes
invaded in 1704 the arsenal took a beating, but all holes were
patched within two years. In the 18th and 19th Centuries
the arsenal was refortified and lost some of its original form.
Most recently, two of the upper floors were restored and now
house a museum. Parts of the exterior have been excavated in
order to reveal original walls, windows and roof. The distinctive
defensive trench has been also been preserved. Throughout
its working history the arsenal served as Lvivs defensive
backbone. A smelting-house was located next to the arsenal
and cast weapons for storage and for sale. The swords forged
in Lviv gained the reputation as some of the best in Europe. In
the 18th Century the arsenal was also used as a prison. It was
here that Polish authorities imprisoned haydamaks, Ukrainian
peasant rebels resisting Polish tyranny.
Ratusha (City Hall)
C-4, pl. Rynok 1. The first

city hall was established
on Rynok ploscha (Market
Square) in the middle of the
14th Century. Constructed of
wood, it was levelled by fire in
1381. A new hall was erected in the early 15th Century.
The contemporary building
is a conglomeration of the
15th Century structure and
three major expansions. The stone tower that hovers above
the hall is the second of its kind. The original was erected in
1619, but by the beginning of the 19th Century was deemed
unstable and demolished. The 65 meter high replacement is
a replica of the original. Pace yourselves, its 306 steps up
to the viewing platform. In 2008 a local pornographer boldly
used City Halls roof as a backdrop for photos, which were
splashed all over the Internet. This embarrassment led local
authorities to implement stricter security measures including
the installation of surveillance cameras. Smile youre being
watched by a Ukrainian security cop.

Chorna Kamiany tsa
(Black Stone House)
C-3, pl. Rynok 4. This

exceptional archi tectural
monument of the 16th-17th
Centuries is matchless not
only in Lviv, but in the whole
of Europe. Construction on
this alluring structure began
in 1588 and incorporated
locally mined, vibrant grey
sandstone. The imposing
black colour is a product of long-term absorption by the stone
of dust, dirt and smoke that swirled about the market (coal
was used to heat homes until the 1960s). The name Black
Stone House didnt always apply, it was previously known
as Kyiv Stone House and Doctors Stone House. In 1926
the building was bought by the city and a branch of Lvivs
historical museum was soon established.

to the palaces museum
and random pedestrians
are magnetically drawn to
this open-air coffee lovers
oasis. Completely severed
from the complexities outside, the carved stone and shaded balconies reek of Italian
Renaissance. The mellow music and delectable fragrances
make for a truly special caf experience. If it all looks familiar,
youve probably seen the courtyard one of the many local and
foreign films that shot scenes here. Concerts are occasionally
staged here; the courtyard is known for its uncanny acoustic

Kornjakt Palace (King

Jan III Sobieski Palace)
C-3, pl. Rynok 6, tel. 0

32 274 33 04. This is a
unique monument of the
Renaissance period, one of
only a few existing in Ukraine,
and is the largest structure
on Rynok pl. Until the late
16th Century the area on
which the palace stands
was occupied by two smaller
buildings, which were purchased by a Greek merchant named
Constantine Kornjakt. He subsequently ordered the reconstruction of the two houses into a new grandiose edifice.
Fragments of the older structures have been preserved and
include the Gothic hall (an unmatched sample of Lvivs Gothic
influence) and the cross-sectional support beams that hold
the third floor ceiling. Following Kornjakts death, the house
was taken over Jakub Sobieski, the father of the future Polish
king Jan III. From this time on the house served as a royal
roost. In 1634 the residence was occupied for a short time by
Wladyslaw IV, the Polish conqueror who occupied Moscow and
seized the Russian crown.The Polish-Russian Eternal Peace
Treaty (anything with a name this lofty deserves to fail) was
signed at the palace in 1686. Since 1908 the building has
housed a museum. One of the brightest expositions of any
of the citys museums, the Royal Chambers, can be found
here. The palaces Italian Yard is a Lvivian favourite and is
not to be missed.
Ploscha Rynok (Market Square) C-3/4. Time
and space gush through old

towns veins and swirl round
Rynok ploscha: a cobbled
whirlpool of colour and sound.
With its stunning palaces,
fountains, statues, crowds,
cafs and pack of lethargic
stray dogs Rynok Square is
the heart of this magnificent
city. Throughout the Middle
Ages stone weights and balances clanked with each sale,
livestock pleaded and villains writhed in pain at the punishment
stake. Amazingly, within this relatively small area there are 45
protected architectural monuments. Each structure has its own
captivating history, but the oldest and most commonly wowedabout are Chorna Kamianytsa (Black Stone House) and Kornyakt Palace (also called King Jan III Sobieski Palace). Regardless
the era, the government has always kept a keen eye on the
square. The imposing structure in the middle is City Hall
Ruska Street C/D-4.
Ruska vul. has been an established thoroughfare since

the Middle Ages. Connecting Rynok ploscha (Market
Square) with Pidvalna vul.
(Rampart Street), the street
is so narrow that only one
street car can travel at a time.
Blending a fascinating array of
architectural styles, Ruska
is one of the most striking
streets in the old city. For centuries this remained Lvivs centre of
Orthodox Christianity. During Polish rule, this was the only street
where an Orthodox believer was allowed to own real estate. From
Ruska there was a passage to an old Jewish ghetto. Residents
constructed walls and a gate, which was secured at night in order
to protect from pogroms. If theres a building that stands out its
No. 4. Constructed in the 16th Century, an old-Austrian style caf
called Synia Pliashka sits in the court yard and the building itself
is currently occupied by the Gerdan Art Gallery.
Churches & Cathedrals

Uspenska Tserkva (Assumption Church) B-3,
Ruska 7. This vibrant example of Renaissance architecture

has served as the centre of the Orthodox Christian faith for
centuries. In the middle of the 16th Century, the Assumption
Brotherhood was founded here along with a printing press
and a school. The church has experienced many episodes of
ruin and reconstruction. The first Assumption Church was constructed of wood in 1344, but was destroyed by fire during an
attack on Lviv by Polish feudal

lords in 1350. The second
church was built of stone in
1421 and experienced a
relatively peaceful existence
until it too was levelled by
the great fire of 1527. (With
the exception of City Hall and
one other structure, the fire
of 1527 devoured the entire
city.) The replacement was
completed in 1559 and, you
guessed it, was completely destroyed by fire in 1571. The
danger posed by fire was apparently driven home and the
cathedral constructed in 1591 has survived until the present.
Also located on the premises are Kornjakts Tower and the
Chapel of Three Prelates. QOpen 10:00 - 17:30.

What to see
Sobor Sviatoho Yura
(St. Geor ge Cathedral) G-3, Svyatoho Yura
pl. 5. This Greek Catholic

cathedral, constructed in
1744-1761, is a remarkable
example of Rococo architecture. Located at the height of
St. George Hill, the cathedral
dominates the surrounding
area, but doesnt clash with
the landscape. The main
faade is set-off by a portal watched over by St. Athanasius
and St. Leo (works by renowned sculptor Johann Georg Pinzel).
In the cathedral itself, there lies a crypt where celebrated
figures of the Ukrainian church are entombed. A park is nestled
behind the palace and features a distinctive bell tower, which
houses a remarkable bell. Cast in 1341, it is the oldest bell
in Ukraine. The cathedral grounds are extremely calming and
its hard to imagine that hard times once prevailed. Following
the death of metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky in March 1946,
Soviet authorities coerced church leaders to denounce Rome
and join the Russian Orthodox Church. Justice prevailed in
1989 as the Greek Catholic Church re-established itself and
resumed operation of the cathedral. The last major event to
take place at St. George happened 2001. While visiting Lviv,
Pope John Paul II lived in the Metropolitans Palace. QOpen
10:00 - 17:30.
Virmenskyi Sobor (The

Armenian Cathedral) C-
3, Virmenska 7. The history

of Lviv is a tapestry woven by
more than 100 nationalities.
Armenians began inhabiting
the city in the 14th Century
and quickly established their
own quarter complete with a
small cathedral completed in
1370. This original building
perished in the fire of 1527.
The structure that stands today blends a few architectural
styles including Old Russian, Gothic and Armenian. The original
bell tower was erected in 1571, but was later toppled by the
Turks during a siege. The 19th Century version of the bell
tower is a restoration of the original. The courtyard provides
a tranquil setting for the decorative column and figure of St.
Christopher. The neighbouring buildings are those of a former
Armenian bank, established in the 17th Century, and Lvivs
oldest pawnshop. QOpen 10:00 - 17:30.
The Bernardine Cathedral and Monaster y
D-5, Soborna pl. 1-3. The

Bernardine Cathedral and
Monaster y is one of the
most inspiring sites in Lviv.
The area around which the
m onas ter y s tan d s h as
evolved over the years, but
the monastery itself remains
as architect Pavlo Rimlyanin
envisioned. Constructed in
the 17th Century, the cathedrals faade is protected by statues of the sacred order of
Bernardine and the niches of the second tier hold images of
Mary, Jesus and apostles Peter and Andrew. Be respectful, of
course, but dont be afraid to drop in on a prayer session. The
cathedrals magnificent interior is stirring. Originally located
outside the city walls, the monastery had its own defences.
Lviv In Your Pocket
What to see
A section of the original protective wall remains and can be
viewed from Pidvalna vul.Much speculation exists concerning
controversial events that have taken place within the monastery and its cells. One of the more famous cases concerns
a letter missive (sanction of trade) addressed to Dracula.
QOpen 10:00 - 11:00, 17:00 - 20:00. Admission is free.
The Dominican Cathedral D-3, Museina pl. 1. The
foundation of the Dominican

Monastery dates back to
the second half of the 13th
Century when Constance, the
wife of Lev I of Galicia, commissioned the construction
of a small wooden church in
gratitude for the generosity
of the local Dominican monks.
Eventually destroyed by fire
in 1408, a Gothic-era stone
church was constructed in its place. The monastery, which could
accommodate more than 100 monks, experienced its heyday
beginning in 1612 when it become the central monastery of
the Eastern European Dominican Order. In 1742 cracks were
detected in the cathedrals arch. An emergency meeting was
convened and all rescue options were exhausted. Demolition
commenced in 1749. Construction on the new cathedral, designed by architect Jan de Witte, began shortly after. The bell
tower was constructed in 1865. During the Soviet era the site
was used as a regional archive and as a school for would be
printing workers. After restoration in 1972 the Dominican Monastery opened as a museum dedicated to the history of religion
and atheism; the atheists have since left the building. Religious
services have also resumed. QOpen 10:00 - 17:30.
Kaplytsia Boimiv (The

Chapel of the Boim
Family)C-4, Katedralna
pl. 1, tel. 0 32 274 40 47.

Constructed in the early 17th
Century on the grounds of
what was a city cemetery;
this quaint structure was
originally intended for use as
a crypt by the Boim family.
George Boim, a Lviv merchant
and moneylender of Hungarian origin, started the project and his son, Paul-George, put the
finishing touches on what would become a permanent feature in
Lvivs stunning centre. The side of the chapel is decorated with
fretwork that gives the impression that the entire structure has
been turned inside-out. Fresco portraits of George Boim and
his wife Jadwiga can be viewed from Halytska vul. The site has
been protected by UNESCO since the 1970s. QOpen 10:00
- 17:00. Closed Mon. Admission 10Hr, children 5Hr.
The Latin Cathedral
C-4, Katedralna pl. 1, tel.

0 32 272 56 82. This is
a spectacular example of
ancient Lvivs Gothic influence. Officially known as the
Archcathedral Basilica of the
Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, its understandable why most just call it the
Latin. Constructed in 1360,
a relic was incorporated into
the first foundation stone by King Kazimir the Great. Both the
interior and exterior have evolved throughout the centuries,
but the sanctuary and altar have remained unchanged. The

cathedral was severely damaged in the fire of 1527. During its
restoration in the 18th Century, Baroque forms replace those
of the Gothic era. The marvellous stained glass windows were
incorporated at the end of the 19th Century. A cemetery
once existed on and around what is now Katedralna ploscha
(Cathedral Square). In 1765 all burials were relocated and
further burials forbidden. The cemeterys chapel, the Chapel
of the Boim Family, remains on the site and is a protected
historical monument. Pope John Paul II attended mass here
on June 26th, 2001. QOpen 07:00 - 19:00. Admission 2Hr.
Photography is prohibited.
The St. Peter and Paul

Church of the Jesuit
Or der B-4, Teatralna
11. Located with its back

turned to Svobody prosp.
and the monument of Taras
Shevchenko, this is considered one of the more
mystical places in Lviv. Much
like the Jesuits themselves,
the structure is meant to be
kept an enigma and random
tourists will find it difficult to gain full access. The church
was constructed in the beginning of the 17th Century and is
modelled after the classic Church of the Ges in Rome. The
size of the church is impressive: 41metres long, 26 metres
high and 22.5 metres wide. Lvivs founding Jesuits are historically characterised as aggressive missionaries who quickly
established a devout following. The sect was also known for
its savvy in the area of property development. When they first
settled in Lviv in the 16th Century they possessed absolutely
no property. When Austria ordered the abolition of the Jesuits
1848, the Lviv brotherhood owned property worth up to
one million thalers (big bucks for that time). A section of the
premises is currently occupied by the Lviv Scientific Library
and is used as an archive. QExcursions starts every hour
from 13:00 until 18:00 and can be ordered in Ravlyk Salon
(Svobody prosp. 15, tel. 298 25 95). Exhibition admission 3Hr,
students 2Hr. Underground excursion 9Hr, students 7Hr.
History in Stone
Arriving in a city for the first time, most sane travellers dont
head straight for the local cemetery. But Lviv is unique in
many ways, and one of the citys most distinctive, beautiful
and historic locales is the Lychakivske Cemetery. Believe it
or not, this is an ideal location to begin your exploration of
Lvivs diverse history, fascinating culture and stunning art:
what Pre Lachaise is to Paris, Lychakivske is to Lviv.
Officially established in 1786 by Austro-Hungarian authorities, the first burials actually took place in the 16th Century.
Since then, more than 400,000 inhabitants have been laid
to rest beneath these hallowed and enigmatic grounds.
Grave markers hold mournful tributes inscribed in Ukrainian,
Russian, German, Polish, Armenian and Latin - evidence
of the citys diversity and turbulent past. Throughout the
19th Century, plots were reserved by elite and middleclass
families, artisans, scientists, spiritual leaders and politicians. For obvious reasons, this trend shifted during the
Soviet era, and resulted in a fascinating contrast: wedged
between ancient chapels and elite family crypts stand
simple monuments, tributes to departed communists.
Museums
Brewing Museum G-1, Kleparivska 18, tel. 0 32 294 80
65. In recognition of the 290th anniversary of one of Europes
oldest breweries, the Brewing Museum was opened to the public in 2005. Six-hundred square metres of the brewerys historic
premises were specially renovated in order to host this unique
museum. The collection contains a plethora of exceptional
beer utensils and brewing hardware that represent various
epochs. Admission includes a trip to the tasting hall: a titillating
bonus for all fans of Lvivske () beer. Excursions are
available in Polish, Russian and Ukrainian, and descriptions
in English under each exhibit make it enjoyable for the rest.
QOpen 10:30 - 18:00. Closed Tue. Admission 15Hr.
Johann Pinzel Museum D-5, Mytna pl. 2, tel. 0 322
75 69 66. This museum presents 32 sculptures of the

world-renown 18th Century Lvivian sculptor Johann Georg
Pinzel. Often referred to as Ukrainians Michelangelo the
beauty and mastery of his work justifies this distinction.
Little is known about the sculptors life and controversy
continues to hover around his identity, but doesnt that
make his art all the more alluring? If youve decided that you
dont have time to visit a museum while in Lviv: skip lunch,
head to Mytna pl. and discover the essence of Ukrainian art.
QOpen 10:00 - 17:00, Sun 12:00 - 17:00. Closed Mon.
Communal graves of soldiers and freedom fighters can

also be found. The most renowned is the grave of the
Lww Eaglets. The Eaglets were Polish child soldiers who
defended Lviv during the Polish-Ukrainian War (19181919). Lviv was ultimately seized by the Soviet Union in
1939; the grave was desecrated and turned into a dump
in 1971. Despite opposition by Ukrainian nationalists, the
site was restored and reopened in 2005.
Lychakivske is a protected historical monument. This is a
much deserved designation, as it rivals many of Europes
ancient necropolises in not only size, but in the beauty of
its sculptures. Visitors are often stopped in their tracks by
the remarkable statue of an angle gazing sadly towards
heaven. Grief, strength and sacrifice are the dominant
themes represented in these gripping monuments. Plan
on spending at least a few hours if you hope to see them
all, and for those with time limitations the sculptures
located at the graves of Armenian Archbishop Samuel
Stefanowicz, Dr. Jzef Torosewicz and actress Regina
Markovsky (Sleeping Beauty) are not to be missed.

Russian crown. The collections highlights include ancient
furniture, pictures, silver ornaments and the Royal Chambers.
The museums second and third branches are also located
on the square in buildings 4 and 24. The fourth branch is
located at the Arsenal on Pidvalna vul. 5 and is dedicated to

themselves. QOpen 10:00 - 17:30. Closed Wed. Admission

Lviv Museum of Ancient Relics C-1, Uzhgorodska
pl. 1, tel. 0 322 72 28 86. Its appropriate that this

museum of ancient relics is located in one of Lvivs most
ancient churches. St. John the Baptist Church was originally
built in 1250, a time of profound transition and growth in
the newly established capital of Galicia. Though it has been
reconstructed numerous times, an antique feel prevails. The
museum opened in 1993 as a branch of the Lviv Art Gallery.
Artistic works, sacral relics and archaeological findings tell
the enthralling story of ancient life in the region. Dated to
the second half of the 14th Century, the collections Lviv
Virgin and Child is one of the oldest existing Ukrainian icons.
QOpen 11:00 - 17:00. Closed Mon.
Museum of Ethnography and Art Crafts B-4, Svo-
body prosp. 15 (pl. Rynok 10), tel. 0 322 272 78 08.

Known for its unique collection of Ukrainian cultural artefacts,
this celebrated museum houses more than 83 thousand
items. The stunning rugs and tapestries, delicate wooden
crafts and ancient musical instruments provide vivid frames
into the lives of the regions past inhabitants. The clock
exhibit is the largest and most valuable in Ukraine, but its
the vibrant assortment of embroidered national attire that
really stands out and tends to bring touring groups to a sudden halt. The collection of jewellery is also impressive and
features a remarkable silver episcopal baton dated to the
11th-13th Centuries. The main exposition is located within
the former premise of a Galician-era bank. A second branch
featuring fabrics, porcelain, Dutch wares and furniture from
the Renaissance to the beginning of the 20th Century is
located at Rynok pl. 10. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00. Closed Mon.
Admission 5Hr, children 2Hr.

What to see
Museum of Historical Valuables C-3, pl. Rynok 2,
tel. 0 322 72 06 71. This museum recently opened in 2005

following the restoration of the enthralling Bandinelli Palace.
The current exhibitions constitute only part of what will be a
much larger display and include a stunning display of gold and
silver jewellery, pottery and miscellaneous civic articles. The
building itself casts a shadow over the exhibit; to stroll the
newly renovated palace halls is worth the meagre charge of
admission. QOpen 10:00 - 17:30. Closed Wed. Admission
3Hr, students and senior citizen 2Hr.
National Museum B-3, Svobody prosp. 20, tel. 0 32 272
80 63. The National Museum was originally established in 1905

as a private collection for the church by metropolitan Andrei
Sheptytsky. It was later transferred to the city in 1913. Throughout its more than 100 years of existence an extraordinary 130
thousand exhibits have been collected. The museums pride is
also Ukraines largest display of Ukrainian sacral art, which dates
from the 12th-18th Centuries. Icons, sculptures, manuscripts
and decorative carvings immortalize Ukraines religious past.

of renowned 20th Century Ukrainian masters. Tours are available
in English, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00.

The Ancient World and the Middle Ages C-4, pl.
Rynok 24, tel. 0 322 72 08 74. The building that houses

this branch of the Lviv History Museum is a fabulous example
of 16th Century Renaissance architecture. The collection
spotlights the history of Western Ukraine from ancient times
to the Middle Ages and includes introductions to Lvivs foundation in the 13th Century by King Danylo Halytsky and the plight
of western Ukrainians under the rule of controversial hetman
Bohdan Khmelnytskyi. QOpen 10:00 - 17:30. Closed Wed.

The Pharmacy Museum Pid Chornym Orlom C-3,
Drukarska 2, tel. 0 32 235 70 41. If you havent noticed by

now, Ukrainians love pharmaceuticals. Theres a drug store
on practically every corner of every city! The foundation of a
museum dedicated to the apothecary is very fitting. The Pharmacy Museum is located in a drugstore established in 1735 by
a military pharmacist. The drugstore remains in operation and
continues to mix its signature Iron wine used to treat anaemia.
This distinctive angular house on the corner of Drukarska
and Stavropihiyska hosts an exposition of more than 3,000
articles. The most curious of which are the pharmaceutical
scales located in the opening hall. The second hall was originally
used as a stockroom and currently displays pharmaceutical
instruments from a variety of epochs. Within the third hall youll
discover an ancient laboratory that was reproduced on the basis
of pictures and engravings. An apartment house belonging to
one of Lvivs 16th Century petty bourgeois has been reconstructed in the internal court yard. QOpen 10:00 - 17:00.
Admission 5Hr, students and senior citizen 3Hr.

The Weapon Museum Arsenal D-4, Pidvalna 5,
tel. 0 32 235 86 61. Establishing a weapons museum at

the Arsenal was a no-brainer for city planners. Its a brisk
walk up the hill, but the fascinating array of swords, daggers, spears, lances, fire-arms, armour and other military
equipment make the climb well worth it. The collage of
locally crafted weapons and armour really stirs the imagination. The museum has also acquired samples of ancient
weapons from around the world. Chronologically organised
by weapon type, youll have no problems finding your own
way around and your whacky uncle will definitely spring at
the chance to be photographed in authentic knights armour.

Postal delivery in Ukraine is generally reliable, but every so

often a letter or package will go missing and never arrive
at its intended destination. The post office remains a
throwback to Soviet times with its redundant and confusing bureaucratic order. When sending or picking up a package or letter be patient and try not to be too intimidated by
the burly woman shouting incomprehensible orders at you.

There are two types of mobile phone numbers in Lviv

- direct numbers (which do not differ from the Lviv fixed line
numbers, and may be dialled as such) and mobile numbers
(these should be preceded by 0 and the operators code).
SMS may not be sent to direct numbers. Mobile phone
calls in Ukraine are relatively cheap and very reliable. You
do not need to sign a contract or show your documents to
use the local providers service. SIM cards are available in
special service centres, mobile phone stores and even on
the streets. You can also buy cards to refill your account at
these same locations.

Taxis
In Ukraine every car is a potential taxi - just hold your
arm out on any street if you dont believe us. Metered
taxis dont exist, so youll have to haggle over the price
with your driver. Foreigners are fighting an uphill battle in
getting a fair price, but be sure to settle on the amount
before getting in to avoid giving the impression of having
bottomless pockets. Ordering a taxi by phone can help
you avoid surprises, as prices are usually fixed.
