Europe is full of incredible destinations for travelers of all kinds. No matter what you’re looking for, you can find it in Europe: culture and history, beaches, vibrant cities, and amazing nature. With a great number of places to visit, some of them get unrightfully neglected. The Ukrainian city of Lviv is one of them.
Lviv is one of the trending European destinations right now. It’s still not overflowing with tourists so plan your trip there before it gets too popular. Lviv is located in western Ukraine, near the Polish border. It’s home to more than 700,000 residents and different from other cities in Ukraine.
The main difference from the other Ukrainian places is its architecture. Lviv doesn’t feature the typical Soviet-style but looks more like a Central European city. It was one of the main European trade centers in medieval times and used to belong to different countries over time. Lviv is today considered a center of artistic, spiritual, and scientific life.
There are around 2,000 landmarks to see in the UNESCO-protected city center, so you can easily plan a whole day or a few days of walking around and discovering everything Lviv has to offer.
