Bus excursion New Year in Lviv

• Tour duration: 9:00-14:00

Lviv is so rich in interesting monuments and bright places that you can only see the maximum during a bus tour. We will travel around Lviv, enjoy contemplating its architecture, listen to its legends. You will also have the opportunity to see several monuments during stops. We are talking about exits at the majestic Church of Saints Olga and Elizabeth, at the Cathedral of St. George, on Rynok Square, as well as at the Lychakiv Cemetery and the High Castle.

Church of Saints Olga and Elizabeth

he Church of Saints Olga and Elizabeth is the tallest building in Lviv. Its height reaches 88 meters. The church is built in the neo-Gothic style, and the first stone for the construction was laid by the Emperor of Austria-Hungary Franz Joseph I. The church is interesting for its external grandeur and interior decor. And also for its history. You will be able to see the majestic temple and look inside during our excursion with a stop near the church.

onument to Stepan Bandera

The seven-meter Stepan Bandera is one of the most impressive monuments in Lviv. It stands guard over peace and tranquility in the city. And each element of the monument is a true symbol of patriotism. The monument to Stepan Bandera is a 30-meter triumphal arch, symbolizing with its columns 4 historical periods in the life of Ukraine: princely times, the Cossack period, the period of the UPR and ZUNR, and the modern history of Ukraine.

Archcathedral of St. George

tour of Lviv is impossible without a stop at one of the most beautiful churches – the Archcathedral of St. George. This is the main shrine of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and an outstanding architectural monument. The cathedral, together with the Ensemble of the Historical Center of Lviv, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And on the bell tower is the oldest bell in Ukraine, which was cast back in 1341.

Market Square

The historic center of Lviv is one of the most interesting locations of our New Year’s excursion. Rynok Square always attracts tourists with interesting architecture, bright establishments and unusual museums, and on New Year’s Eve it also captivates with real Christmas decor and a festive atmosphere. For years, Rynok Square was the center of economic and cultural life in Lviv. It remains so now.

Lviv City Hall

Lviv Town Hall is the heart of Rynok Square and the historical part of the city. The building, where the city government sits today, is the fourth Town Hall in the history of Lviv. The three previous ones were destroyed. The modern Lviv Town Hall is an architectural monument of national importance and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the highest in Ukraine and anyone can climb to the top to see the city of Lviv from a bird’s eye view.

Lviv Fountains

here are four unique fountains in each corner of Rynok Square. All of them are octagonal with figures from ancient mythology. What is interesting is that none of the so-called fountains are fountains in the literal sense of the word. These are wells, into which water flows in two streams. Once upon a time, traders washed greens and vegetables in these “fountains”, which they sold on Rynok Square.

lack House

The Black Stone Tower is one of the most colorful buildings in the central part of Lviv. Its facade and pilasters are truly black, covered with hewn stone and decorated with carvings. Today, the walls of this building house the expositions of the Lviv Historical Museum. The stone tower was also the central location of a plot of one of the mystical films about the life of spirits.

High Castle

The High Castle is no longer a castle, but rather its ruins. However, the majestic walls, along which you can climb to the top of the Castle Hill and look at Lviv in all its beauty, remain perhaps the most favorite place not only for tourists, but also for local residents. Newlyweds have photo sessions here. They bring their chosen ones here for their first dates. People walk with children here and simply celebrate significant events. Let’s climb to the top too.

Lychakiv Cemetery

Lychakiv Cemetery is a memorial cemetery that occupies 40 hectares and is divided into 86 fields. Once upon a time, only rich or famous people were buried here, regardless of their nationality. That is why today in Lychakiv you can see more than half a thousand sculptures and tombstones with inscriptions in different languages. There are also 24 chapels in the cemetery, the oldest of which was built back in 1812. Today, interesting excursions are organized at Lychakiv Cemetery, one of which we will also get to.

Excursion “7 Wonders of Lviv”.

• Tour duration: 10:00-12:00

There are many buildings and institutions in Lviv that tell about the luxurious history of the city.

During this excursion we will see the Opera House, the House of Scientists, the Potocki Palace and many more interesting architectural monuments that are worthy of everyone’s attention.

Opera House

The Solomiya Krushelnytska Lviv Opera House is a gem of central Lviv. Its history began in 1897, and the author of the project was the famous architect Zygmunt Gorgolewski.

No less impressive is the interior of the theater with sculptures and paintings by famous masters of Ukraine and the world.

House of Scientists

The House of Scientists is a former count’s casino, which was built according to the design of Viennese architects, also known for designing the Odessa Opera House. The building is listed as an architectural monument.

ungeons of the Dominican Monastery

Dungeons of the Church of the Jesuit Fathers

The dungeon of the Jesuit Fathers’ Church is nothing more than the remains of the princely walls of the 13th century. There are many interesting exhibits from those times. These include ceramics and frescoes. And also a sarcophagus with carvings by Nikolai Vizhitsky. A sarcophagus in which no one has ever been buried. This is a mystery that attracts researchers and tourists to the dungeons, and which we will try to solve.

Pharmacy Museum

This is a unique establishment that attracts not only doctors and pharmacists, but also ordinary tourists. The pharmacy-museum not only allows you to buy medicines that are produced today, but also tells about old mixtures and ancient medical recipes that are exhibited in the museum part of the premises. In addition, here each visitor has a unique opportunity to spy on the work of a medieval scientist, whose laboratory is hidden in the dungeon of the pharmacy-museum.

Coffee digging

Coffee Mine If you thought that coffee is grown, you will have to change your mind. In Lviv, coffee is extracted in a mine. Right in the middle of the city center. And you can see it with your own eyes by visiting the Coffee Mine. Moreover, you will be offered to taste the aromatic drink, which will be sent from the mine to the surface, roasted and prepared before your eyes. Fantastic? No, Lviv.

Kryivka

You can get acquainted with the life of the rebels, enjoy real Ukrainian cuisine and witness a grand show of hunting for a Muscovite only in Lviv. Kryivka is a colorful restaurant where dishes are served in dishes from which the rebels once ate, where they pour intoxicating tinctures and liqueurs of local production. And where the real Ukrainian spirit always lives. The main thing is not to forget the slogan-password, without which you will not be allowed into the shelter. This is the traditional rebel greeting “Glory to Ukraine – Glory to the Heroes!”
