Lviv is not just a city — it’s a journey through time.
Founded in the mid-13th century by King Danylo of Galicia and named after his son Lev, Lviv has been a crossroads of cultures, religions, and empires for over 750 years.
From medieval castles and cobblestone streets to grand Austro-Hungarian architecture and cozy coffeehouses, every corner of Lviv tells a story. Once a key center of trade and learning in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Lviv later became part of the Habsburg Empire, then interwar Poland, and eventually Ukraine — each era leaving behind its unique mark.
The city’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, filled with Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance buildings that whisper tales of merchants, scholars, and revolutionaries. Whether you're wandering through Rynok Square, climbing the tower of the City Hall, or exploring the mysterious courtyards, you’ll feel the pulse of history all around you.
Lviv is a city where past and present meet — a perfect destination for curious travelers, history lovers, and anyone who seeks authenticity.
