Hey there!
I am preparing a trip to go through Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine and would like to pass through Lvivska Oblast.
I am hoping to find interesting guide (guides) based in Lviv or its neighborhood.
And also a good transport company using minibuses for up to 20 passengers (our groups are usually arround 16).
Any advice will be strongly appreciated.
Anybody willing to meet in person in Lviv? I am planning to visit your beautiful town on the 5th or 6th of November 2009.
if so please drop me a message to matej.sanitrar@viacarpathia.com
thanx
Matej
You might want to check carefully the "flu" epidemic happening in the western Ukraine at the moment. Lviv is being especially hard hit according to reports. It is difficult finding good reliabe and up to date information. Plan accordingly.
thanx... at the end I did not cross the border... but the trip to Zamosc in Poland, close to Ukrainian border was worth it...
In the picture you can see the main post office in Lviv. It is open every day but not all day. For example on Sunday it is open from 9:00 a.m. till 3 p.m. The entrance is from Slovackoho Street. I had problems to buy stamps but, fortunatelly, cards finnally get to people.:) The stamp to Europe and USA cost the same, what seems to me strange...
With its stunning palaces, fountains, statues, cafe's and crowds of people, RYNOK SQUARE is the Heart of Lviv. Amazingly, within this relatively small area, there are 45 protected architectural monuments. Each structure has its own captivating history, but the oldest and most revered are Chorna Kamianytsa ( Black Stone House ) and Kornjakt Palace or King Jan III Sobieski Palace.
The imposing structure in the middle is City Hall.
Rynok Square is to the east of Prospect Svobody
Grand Hotel is situated on Prospekt Svobody and it works as a hotel nowadays. It was built in 1898 by Germatnick architect and Marconi sculptor (atlantes statues). The hotel is considered the most expensive and fashionable.
On Soborna Square we can see Bernardines Monastery, built in XVII century. The central building of the monastery is St Andrey Church was firstly mentioned in 1460 but then reconstructed in 1630. by Paolo Romano and Ambrozy Prikhilny architects. In 1604 Dimitry I –The Liar married Maria Mnisheck here before the campaign to Moscow trying to get the Russian Empire under Polish control. The column in front of the church is placed in 1736 in honour of monks who defended successfully in the monastery walls against Bogdan Khmelnitsky Army in 1648.
If you are in Lviv on a Sunday, then you shouldn't miss a stroll along Svobody Prospekt in the late afternoon.
On Sundays the whole area from the Adam Mickiewitz Square to the Opera House is closed for traffic, so that people can get together.
You will see old men playing chess, young people showing off their latest fancy clothes or families enjoying a walk.
Most amazing for me was that the older generation gather in a large circle near the Taras Shevchenko Monument and sing folk songs all together.
The Monument also seems to be the place for political events and demonstrations.
