Instead of Soviet buildings typical of Ukraine, Lviv boasts a charming Central European-style old town with World Heritage Site status.

Get out of town with these interesting Lviv side-trips: Holy Mother Virgins Nativity Cathedral (in Stryi), Pidhirtsi (Pidhirtsi Castle & Roman CatholicChurch of the Exaltation of St. Joseph) and Truskavets (Central Square, Art Museum Mikhail Bilas, &more). There's still lots to do: examine the collection at Insomnia - The Haunted House, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Armenian Virgin Mary's Dormition Church, explore the world behind art at Museum of Folk Architecture and Life, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Svyatogo Yura Cathedral.
