LVIV


Near the border with Poland, this city has a unique blend of former communism with typical European charm. The central market square is a lively place where tourists can be seen feeding pigeons outside the opera, local men sitting on benches playing cards, and older children beating the younger children at a game of soccer in empty parking lots. It may not be the wealthiest of cities but it’s people will show you wealth through simple happiness.




Without a doubt the best place in the city is atop of castle hill in the evening. Locals and tourists alike climb to the top of this once fortified hill for its amazing 360 degree view of the entire city. As the sunsets the church spires shimmer and the city seems frozen in time.
