The City of Lion, as it is popularly called, is located in the western part of Ukraine near the Polish border. The area of this city is fascinating at first sight, as it is crossed by a ridge of hills of the Main European Watershed, which separates the rivers of the Baltic and Black Sea basins.
Lviv is considered to be a small city, but it offers entertainment for every taste. For example, for lovers of romantic walks and relaxation, we recommend taking advantage of the "Romantic Lviv. Individual tour". As part of this tour, you will have a 1.5-hour walking tour of the most romantic places in the city. Lviv has many places where you can dream or hear tender and sometimes dramatic love stories.
You can admire this city at any time of the day, but after sunset Lviv takes on a completely different color. For example. "Evening Lviv" looks special - illuminated streets, illuminated buildings and temples. In the evening, you just want to hear exciting love stories. While walking around the city in the evening, you can discover something completely different, new and mysterious.
Lviv is also known for its mysteries and beautiful architecture. There you can see many beautiful buildings, including golden-domed temples and elegant churches. On the tour "The Dungeons of the Jesuit Church" you will have a chance to taste the underground halls of the Garrison Church of the Apostles Peter and Paul. It was here that in 2016-2017 several new underground halls of the Jesuit Church were excavated and opened, which turned out to be filled with interesting exhibits.
