Text A

Welcome to a city of unique charm. With its remarkably preserved Renaissance architecture, gently bending streets and hidden ancient niches, Lviv is a Ukrainian city with a European soul. It is a very poetic city steeped in legends both ancient and relatively new.

Lviv was founded by King Danylo Halytskiy in 1256 and was named after his son Lev. Under the long reign of Danylo’s son, Lev (1264-1301), Lviv came to be the capital city of the Halician-Volhynian Kingdom. Lviv had many rulers. But being part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and then Poland contributed to the formation of the city unique image.

In spite of all the whims of history the city has not lost its Ukrainian spirit, and thanks God, Lviv’s delicate architecture of various styles and epochs has not suffered from monstrosities of the Soviet era. So the central part of the city is included in the “World Heritage List” of UNESCO. In this open-air museum you can for hours admire the monuments of different eras created by the combination of numerous nations cultural traditions. No wonder that many of those who visit the city leave with lasting memories and love for Ukraine.

The city’s unperceivable Bohemian aura seemed to magnetically attract unordinary people. There were a lot of geniuses among them, including the Ukrainian opera star singer Solomia Krushelnytska, the Ukrainian writer and publicist Markiyan Shashkevych, the Polish poet Adam Mitskevych, the Ukrainian first president, historian and philosopher Mykhailo Hrushevsky, the most famous Ukrainian composer of the 20^th century Volodymyr Ivasiuk, the biologist and the inventor of typhus vaccine Rudolf Vigel, the classic of Jewish literature Shalom Aleihem, the famous fantasist of the 20th century Stanislav Lem, the first printer Ivan Fedorov and many others, who looked for inspiration for their creative and scientific work in Lviv. The great Ukrainian writer and poet Ivan Franko lived in Lviv and worked in Lviv University (now I. Franko Lviv National University), which was founded in 1661, the oldest in Ukraine.

The monuments of Lviv have become the pride of the city. The best are to Adam Mitskevych, to King Danylo Halytskiy, to Taras Shevchenko, to the victims of the repressions of the Soviet regime and the statue of the Virgin, the city Patroness.

Known as the centre of Ukrainian art and culture, the city boasts many of the country’s brightest and best museums (60), art galleries and theatres. It is also Ukraine’s Mecca – there are magnificent and inspiring churches and cathedrals on just about every corner. Although Lvivians have the reputation as church-goers, they haven’t forgotten how to party. Pubs, clubs, restaurants and coffee houses are plentiful.

The tourist stream to the city is more than a million people per year.

Lviv has established many feasts, such as Coffee and Chocolate feasts, the feast of pampukh, the Day of Batyar, such festivals as “Ethnovyr”, “Krayina Mriy”, the international theatrical festival “Golden Lion”, the youth theatrical festival “Drabyna”, that has already become traditional for the citizens and visitors of Lviv.

According to the research of an international consulting company Monitor Group, the city has a big potential of development. Tourism and IT-sector are the most attractive clusters of development in Lviv.

Lviv is ancient and modern, this makes the city everlasting.
