Lviv - The Lion Awakes!

Lviv, Lwow, Lvov, Lemberg, Leopolis... it's a city of many faces. Don't expect the pristine perfection of Prague, but nor the millions of tourists for that matter. What you can expect is a dash of magic, as Lviv can hold its own with the most beautiful of Europe's cities. This dreamy metropolis has been both the capital of Habsburg Galicia, and a key city in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Today it's Ukraine's sweeping second city. The people are full of spirit, there's a banquet for culture vultures and the architecture can hardly fail to bowl you over. We're proud to present the first English travel guide to Lviv, and you'll find here all the info you'll need to plan your trip to the 'Lion City'. You can follow the links for tips on culture, travel and general info, and there are also a host of options when it comes to restaurants, hotels, bars, shops and things to do.
