Winter fairy tale in the city of Lion

When the city of Lion is covered with snow, it turns into a real winter fairy tale. Lviv in winter is a special charm of ancient streets, the eternal aroma of hot coffee and a festive atmosphere in the air. And cold weather is a reason to visit Lviv museums or the Lviv Opera House - a real winter magic ritual.

In the winter season, Lviv becomes the heart of Ukrainian holidays. Here you can immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of a traditional Christmas market - the central square of the city comes to life with bright lights, souvenir stalls, and the aromas of hot mulled wine, gingerbread, and freshly baked donuts. You will be able to taste traditional Galician dishes, hear carols and even see theatrical nativity scenes. Come and give yourself a holiday among the incredible architecture and warm Galician hospitality!

Kosyno thermal pools: winter relaxation in the warm embrace of nature

When winter brings frost and snow, Kosyno thermal pools become a real oasis of warmth and relaxation. Located amidst the picturesque landscapes of Transcarpathia, these pools offer a unique combination of the healing properties of mineral water and a cozy atmosphere that is so necessary during the cold season.

Warm paths, carefully maintained grounds and modern infrastructure make your vacation in Kosyno comfortable even in very cold weather. You can enjoy the view of snow-covered fir trees while sitting in the hot water and feel like you are in a fairy tale.
